"I mean it, you should really choose your words carefully. I only teased you because you were cute!"
The moment Rita finished speaking, Maple Syrup's voice sounded from her right. "Oh, so that's the same way you teased Maple Mu, Maple Cang, and Maple Burn? They still talk about you at home, you know."
Syntax glanced over. "Wait—you mean your whole family fell for her too?"
While writing her next answer, Rita looked up briefly. Maple Syrup, Pine Bloom, and Syntax were all standing right beside her. Maple Syrup was talking while busily copying Pine Bloom's answers.
When did those three even move here?!
Rita gritted her teeth. "Could all of you please think before you speak for once?"
Pine Bloom couldn't hold it in. "You're one to talk! You're the one she teased the most. When your three daughters talk about her, don't pretend you're not part of the conversation."
Maple Syrup immediately fired back. "And didn't you once admit your biggest regret was not having a child with me?"
