As Uncle Axel accompanied Richelle away, the old man asked Roy Lewis.
“How are you planning to handle this?”
Roy was his grandson, of course, and understood what he meant, but he feigned ignorance.
“Handle what?”
The old man glared at him, “Still pretending with me?”
“Now that Timothy has been acknowledged, are you going to have the wedding and acknowledgment banquet together? Or have the wedding first and then a separate acknowledgment banquet?”
The old man and Roy’s grandmother had been in love all their lives, so after changing his attitude toward Richelle, he naturally considered her feelings in the matter.
In his opinion, they definitely needed to give Richelle a proper identity before acknowledging her son, so as not to attract gossip.
However, Roy did not prioritize these two matters.
“Grandpa, there’s no hurry for the wedding and acknowledgment banquet.”
The old man was angry at his unhurried attitude, “You stinky boy, you’re already thirty, and you’re still not in a hurry?”
“Besides, doesn’t Richelle need some sense of security too? If you don’t get married or acknowledge her son, it’s like you’re stringing her along, which isn’t ethical!”
Roy, whose arm had been twisted outward by his grandpa, could only present the facts helplessly.
“Grandpa, it’s not that I’m not in a hurry, but there’s something more important to do right now!”
The old man assumed he was just making excuses, “What’s more important than marriage and children, huh? Tell me, let me hear it!”
Roy told the truth, “Grandpa, Richelle isn’t South Asian. She’s the daughter of Zachary Dunn from Lordon.”
Zachary Dunn was a legend in the Federation back in the day.
So, the old man knew who he was.
And he knew that Zachary and his wife had died tragically abroad, leaving behind a young daughter.
However, his knowledge was quite limited beyond that.
“Richelle is Zachary’s daughter? Then what’s the story behind her being South Asian?”
Roy retold the simple description and tragic experiences Richelle had shared with him, filled with bloodshed and conspiracies.
At first, the old man was just curious, but after listening to Richelle’s short yet tragic experiences, his face was full of indignation.
“Jayden Dunn’s family has truly lost their conscience, to be capable of doing such cruel things to their own niece! It’s a waste that I tried to help them these past few years. Now it seems that I was truly blind.”
While feeling indignant on Richelle’s behalf, the old man completely ignored his grandson who had been schemed against by Jayden’s family as well.
Roy explained the matter without revealing his own feelings, because he knew his grandfather understood.
Then, he mentioned how he had fallen for Theo’s plot to drive a wedge between them and had expected to be mocked by his grandfather. However, the old man just sighed deeply and said.
“You must have been so angry that you lost all your senses back then. No wonder you drove Richelle away.”
It has to be said that even with a generation in between, the thought processes of this grandfather-grandson duo were very similar.
“Grandpa, can I happily hold a wedding and acknowledgment banquet now?”
In Roy’s opinion, with all that the Dunn family had done to Richelle, he wouldn’t even have the courage to propose to her unless he could get justice for her.
The old man pondered for a moment before nodding.
“You really can’t.”
“Alright, I won’t push you on this. Just hurry up and get things settled. Let me drink the wedding wine of my granddaughter-in-law while I still can and then I can rest in peace with your grandma and parents.”
Roy didn’t like it when his grandfather talked about life and death, but at his age, it was something he had to learn to accept gradually.
Even though he felt uncomfortable, he didn’t protest against his grandpa, only nodding in agreement.
“Hmm, Richelle and I have agreed that she and Timothy and Tifanny will move back here soon. So if you want to spend more time with the kids, why don’t you stay here for a while?”
The old man had already been pondering on this idea and was just thinking of how to bring it up to his grandson.
After all, his grandson had always been independent and didn’t like his interference. So, the old man was still considering how to hint at it.
As a result, after his grandson found love, he had become more considerate and caring!
However, the old man still maintained the dignity of an elder, “Will I be in your way if I stay here?”
Roy glared at the cunning old man, “If I said it was a bother, would you not stay?”
The old man laughed, “Of course not. You aren’t that important, and I don’t care about my reputation. As long as I can spend some more time with my great-grandchildren, that’s all that matters.”
As the elder, the old man naturally cherished the people and things in front of him more than the young ones.
Pride and all that was unimportant, just false and not worth considering.
It’s most important for a family to be happy together.
The grandfather and grandson hadn’t had such an openhearted talk for a long time. This time, having expressed their thoughts clearly, they were both in a good mood.
However, Roy suddenly remembered something.
“Grandpa, you don’t have any objections to Uncle Axel’s situation, do you?”
