498 The Sacrifice (4)

Lenny held her breath hoping that he would act. When she saw him looking at her with skepticism, she lowered her eyes. "I heard all this when I walked to the backyard. The Head Cook was narrating talking to his assistants." She went on to narrate whatever Kenai told her. Once she stopped, she looked up at him again with all naivety. "I thought I should have informed you." 

"Thanks Lenny," Dmitri replied politely. He looked at his wife who was sleeping all cuddled up and smiled. Then he turned his face to Lenny. "Wait for me outside. I will join you in a moment." 

"Sure," she said. After that the two girls went to the front door to wait for him. 

"I hope that this news is false, Lenny. I just don't want anything to mar the happiness of Adrianna. She had been through a lot." 

Lenny lowered her eyes and said, "Yes, I agree." She had a sad expression on her face.
