Mikayla displayed a nervous and concerned countenance.
“You've had way too much to drink, to the point that... you can’t even hold it in?” Mikayla said awkwardly.
“It’s no big deal, though. You don’t have to be embarrassed! We're all family here. Nobody's going to mock you.
Isn’t that right, Auntie?” Mikayla expressed genuine concern for Jerome.

“Jerhad always appeared steady. How could that... Well, let's just move on and not mention it again!” Mikayla burst into laughter as soon as she entered the car.
“Mikayla!” Jerome's face darkened as he coldly accused, “How dare you play tricks on me?” “So you can play tricks on me, but I'm not allowed to do the same?” Jerfaltered and looked at Mikayla.
“Ha.” As Jersat up straight, Mikayla let out a chuckle when she caught sight of the stain on his pants.
