Chapter 1227

Reuben shot Selena an icy glance. Selena then held the coffee in her left hand while she lifted her index finger. She bargained, "A sip. What if it's just a sip?" She could finish this cup of coffee in a single sip. Looking at how fearful she looked while she sought his input on everything, the expression on Reuben's face softened gradually. He said, "You do you." Noticing that he was no longer adamantly against her drinking coffee, she tried negotiating again. She said, "One sip. Just one tiny sip. I will wean it off slowly next time. Does that work, Uncle Reuben?" Upon saying that, she cupped the coffee in her hands and took a tiny sip. Reuben couldn't help but chuckle when he saw how she was testing his boundaries. Her behavior right now reminded him of how she'd tested his boundaries just like this when she'd been young. After that chuckle, Reuben couldn't be bothered to continue harping on at her. He simply said, "You're still young. Don't rely on these things."
