Falling in Love : I love you, Today and Forever

Chapter 46 - Future Planning By Grandpa Carter

After sending Violet with John, Ian decided to check up on Noah's grandfather, Jonathan.

"Hey, grandpa." Ian greeted the senior Carter as soon as he entered his ward.

"At least you have come to meet me. My unfilial grandson has not visited me at all since I woke up." He sulked.

Ian chuckled. The old man looked like a cute little boy who had been refused his favorite snack.

"Grandpa that's not the case. Your family visited you in the morning right." Ian remembered seeing the Carter family giving him a visit early in the morning that day.

"I am not talking about them. You know who I am talking about?" The old man huffed.

"Grandpa, he would have come to meet you if he was in the city." Ian tried to calm him.

"Where has he gone?" Jonathan looked at Ian.

"He has gone to London."

"Why?"

"He had a business deal to complete."

"Are you saying the truth?"

"Why would I lie to you, Grandpa?" Ian shrugged.

"Give me my phone." Jonathan pointed to his phone on the table. Ian handed him his phone and stood beside him thinking what the old man was up to.

"I'll confirm it with Noah." He dialed Noah's number only to be rejected at once on the first ring. He tried again, only to be met with the same result.

"How dare this grandson of mine reject my calls?" He was annoyed. He then tried Ronnie's number. He knew Noah did not go anywhere without his head bodyguard, Ronnie.

"Hello, Master," Ronnie answered on the second ring. 'Why is Master calling me?' He thought.

"Where is my grandson?" He bellowed on the phone.

"Master, Boss is in London," Ronnie replied. He was scared hearing Jonathan's angry voice.

"Why?"

"He had a business meeting to attend."

"Give him the phone right now. I want to talk to him."

Sweat started to trickle down Ronnie's face. How could he hand over his phone to his Boss? His Boss had gone to meet the likely to be Lady Boss and moreover, he had not accompanied him that day.

Noah knew Aria had seen Ronnie on the plane. So he was careful not to bring him with him.

"Master, Boss is very busy."

"I don't care. Give him the phone right now." Jonathan interrupted Ronnie.

Ian was hearing everything. He realized at this rate, the old man would find out Noah's real intentions in going to London.

"Master, I cannot give him the phone."

"Why?"

"Because I am not with him." Ronnie's voice was quite low.

There was silence for a few minutes on the other side. Ronnie checked the call to see if it was disconnected. No, the call was still on-going.

"Master." He called out.

"Master. He called out again.

"What do you mean he is not with you? Tell me the truth. Don' you dare lie."

Ronnie shivered. He understood he had no choice other than to reveal the truth.

"Master, Boss has gone on a date."

"Did you say he has gone a date?" Jonathan said.

Ian's ears quirked upon hearing the word date. 'Wow that was quite fast. What did he do actually for Aria to accept to go on a date with him?'

"Yes Master," Ronnie said praying the Almighty to save him.

"Who is that woman?"

"Master, she is a doctor at Regal Medical Hospital. She is a colleague of Dr Davis." Jonathan looked at Ian, making him raise his eyebrows in confusion.

"Send me her photographs right now."

"Yes Master."

Jonathan ended the call. However, his eyes never left Ian.

"Is there a problem grandpa?"

"Do you know that woman?"

Ian understood that he was referring to Aria. He nodded a yes. "She is my colleague."

"What do you know about her?"

"Hmm. Her name is Aria West. She was my junior in school and college. In fact she was the one who treated you first when you fainted in the hallway. She is an excellent doctor and as far as I know she has never dated anyone before."

"What about her family?" Jonathan's interest was piqued.

"I don't know much about her family except that she has a twin sister. I also know that her mother is dead. She doesn't talk much about them."

At that moment, Jonathan's phone dinged indicating the arrival of a message. He looked at the photographs sent by Ronnie. It was of Noah and a beautiful girl sitting in a garden. The girl was looking to her right while Noah was gazing at her lovingly.

"Is she the one?" Jonathan held the phone for Ian to see clearly.

"Yes, that's Aria."

"Well done." Jonathan punched his fists in the air in exhilaration.

Ian stared the old man dumbfounded. 'Did he by chance hit his brain when he fell? Why is he so happy? Am I only imagining things or, is Mr. Carter seriously very happy.' He rubbed his eyes, trying to clear them. He looked at Jonathan who was smiling like a fool.

"Grandpa, is everything alright?" Ian was seriously worried now.

"I am so happy today. Finally, my grandson has found himself a good girl."

Jonathan looked at the picture on his phone and sighed, "My granddaughter-in-law is so beautiful and cute."

"Grandpa, but how can you be sure that she is the one. What if she is not who she proclaims herself to be?" Ian cleared his throat. He knew Aria was not like the other women who just wanted to leech off Noah's status and wealth. Anybody who would marry her would definitely be happy. He just wanted to make sure that Noah's family accepted her completely if their relationship progressed further.

"My hairs haven't turned white just like that. If she was a wicked person, then definitely you would have warned my grandson about it before he started to pursue her."

Ian lowered his head on listening to the old man's words. He realized nothing could be hidden from him. He already knew that Ian was supporting Noah in his pursuit.

"Aww. Look at these two. They look so perfect together. With these two having extraordinarily outstanding genes, I wonder how my great-grandkids will be. They will definitely be adorable and cute."

Ian choked on his own saliva. Noah and Aria's relationship hadn't even crossed the stage of friendship and this person in front of him was already planning how his great-grandkids would be.

'Unbelievable.' He thought.

As if these words were not enough, the old man continued with his crazy imagination.

"How many children will these two have? I would want them to have as many as possible. However, it is still for them to decide."

"Grandpa. Grandpa. Let them first start dating each other. Then we can think about other things like marriage and kids." Ian put a brake to his speeding vehicle.

"You are right. First my grandson needs to make her his. But there is nothing wrong in thinking about the future right?"

Ian shook his head, looking at the crazy man. He knew he couldn't stop his wild thoughts. In fact he too was waiting for Noah and Aria to be a couple. 'They would make a good pair.'
