Jay proudly brushed his hair back, only sending another little puff of flour into the air.
Bella covered her mouth.
"I cannot believe this."
Jay grinned.
"At least we look clean."
Bella stared at his completely white face.
"Clean?"
"Very clean."
Eli nodded seriously.
"Like ghosts!"
Jay immediately pointed at him.
"Exactly! We are the Cupcake Ghosts!"
Eli's eyes widened with delight.
"The Cupcake Ghosts!"
Bella looked at the two flour-covered idiots standing in her kitchen and shook her head, smiling helplessly.
"Bella... Bella."
The moment she heard his familiar voice, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
She turned toward the doorway, and soon the sound of approaching footsteps reached her. Leo appeared in the kitchen, his tall figure filling the doorway. His expression was cold and unreadable as usual, but the moment his gray eyes landed on Bella, his eyes became gentle.
He walked straight toward her.
