"Okay," Renee Jennings agreed to Layla's request. "Snacks, pretty things—we have it all."
She opened the video app on her backup phone and handed it to Zachary Conway. "Zachary, could you please record this for us?"
"Okay!" Zachary Conway took the phone.
Michelle Fuller, meanwhile, took a snack and a pearl hair clip from her small bag. She slowly crouched down. "Layla, do you like these? If you do, come and get them."
Layla definitely liked them. And since Sasha wasn't around, she could eat the snack all by herself and only have to hand over the pretty hair clip.
Layla cautiously approached. Only after confirming that these humans wouldn't hurt her did she take the lychee and hair clip from Michelle Fuller's palm.
She bit open the lychee's shell and started eating the fruit inside.
"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh," Michelle Fuller said in amazement. "She even knows how to peel it! She's so smart!"
A contented look spread across Layla's face as she ate the sweet lychee.
