After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 156

Chapter 156

The next morning, Katniss headed downstairs and found Samuel chilling in the living room, looking all cheerful.

Maximilian was across from him, looking all smooth and elegant with his eyes slightly lowered.

When Samuel saw Katniss, his smile got even bigger, and he waved like crazy. "Katniss, you're up! How'd you sleep last night?" he asked warmly.

Katniss smiled back, "Grandpa, I slept great. Why are you here so early today?"

"I came to check on you two. How have you been these past few days?" Samuel asked, clearly wanting to make sure everything was good. Katniss felt her face warm up a bit and lowered her voice, "Grandpa, we've been doing well."

To Samuel, her reaction just seemed like she was being shy.

He laughed even louder, probably already imagining himself with a chubby grandkid next year.

He patted the seat next to him and said, "Katniss, come sit here and chat with me."

Just as Katniss was about to sit down, Maximilian checked the time and said calmly, "Grandpa, Katniss has to go to class soon."

Samuel shot him a glare, "You rascal, I timed my visit perfectly. It's still early," he retorted.

Katniss quickly added, "Maximilian, it's okay. I don't have any important classes this morning."

Samuel finally let Maximilian off the hook and kept chatting with Katniss, even asking if Maximilian had been treating her well.

He completely ignored Maximilian, his actual grandson.

Katniss kept assuring him that Maximilian treated her very well, and then they all headed to the dining room for breakfast.

At the dining table, the atmosphere was warm and happy. Mira's cooking had really improved.

Samuel was super pleased with Mira and immediately pulled out a stack of cash, praising her for taking good care of Maximilian and Katniss.

Mira accepted it with a big smile.

Katniss noticed a thick stack of cash in Samuel's pocket.

She blinked and asked, "Grandpa, why are you carrying so much money with you? It's not even a special occasion today."

Across from her, Maximilian looked at Katniss with a slight smile. "Ever since we got engaged, Grandpa's been giving out money to everyone he meets."

Samuel laughed heartily, "Such a big joy should be shared widely."
