Chapter 130

Katniss had just taken a sip when the front door swung open, and in walked Samuel, grinning from ear to ear.

Seeing Samuel, Katniss jumped up to greet him.

Samuel quickly waved her off. "Forget about all the formalities, Katniss. Just sit down and enjoy your meal. I'm just here to check on you and Maximilian."

After last night, seeing Samuel made Katniss feel a bit uneasy for some reason.

Samuel, over seventy, had graying hair at his temples but was still hale, kind, and amiable. Katniss really liked Samuel.

Seeing Katniss hesitate, Samuel pointed to the food on the table. "Go ahead, don't mind me."

"Okay, Grandpa." Katniss, feeling ill-at-ease, started eating.

"Katniss, from the first time I saw you, I liked you and wanted you to be my granddaughter-in-law. Now it's come true! Hahaha." Samuel laughed heartily, his eyes twinkling with joy. "Even though Maximilian is my grandson, don't worry. If he ever mistreats you, I'll definitely set him straight!"

"Maximilian is very good to me." Katniss forced a smile, feeling troubled inside.

Just then, Emilio's voice rang out, "Sir, take it easy."

For Maximilian's convenience, the house had an elevator. Emilio pushed the wheelchair out from the elevator.

He was coming downstairs.
