The two friends engaged in light conversation as Ariana wrapped up the cooking.

With Sonia on vacation and the kids growing quite fond of her, she insisted on spending the night to help take care of them.

“You go ahead. You have plenty of work to do. I'll make sure the kids have a great time!" Sonia playfully winked and added, "You can shower me with gratitude for my generous offer later."

Ariana chuckled. She was fully aware that Sonia's true intention was to have fun with the children, but she graciously accepted.

"Sure, consider yourself greatly thanked in advance!"
