"Big brother!" Lily ran up to Asher immediately after seeing him. Then she wrapped her arms around Asher's waist and rubbed her cheek against his abdomen, acting like a puppy that was starved of attention from its master. And it made Asher smile at the cute display. "Lily missed you so much. You were gone for so long..."
"I'm sorry, little angel," Asher chuckled and picked up Lily, lifting her small body off of the ground before kissing her forehead. "I will spend more time with you in the future, I promise."
"Hehe! You said it. Now you can't break that promise, or I'll get upset!" Lily said, puffing out her cheeks and looking into Asher's eyes. She then turned her attention to Elder Katrina, staring at her with curiosity and interest. "And who is this big sis?"
Asher smiled and introduced. "This is Katrina. She's now part of our family. So treat her well, okay?" He explained to the little girl in his arms.
