Faux Vows, True Desires

A taxi pulled up in front of the Ascend Hotel.

The driver got out of the car and opened the door for the passengers. Both of them were elderly, and the driver was worried that they might slip and fall, so he helped them out. "Thank you, young man." Savannah expressed her gratitude to the driver.

"No problem. This here's the Ascend Hotel. Watch your step, the floor can be slippery."

"Thank you, we'll be careful."

Patrick paid the fare before they both thanked the driver again.

It was only after Savannah took Patrick's arm that they made their way into the hotel.

"Grandma, Grandpa."

Eric, who had just come out of the hotel, spotted them and rushed over to greet them. He offered to help his grandmother, but a stern look from his grandfather made him drop the idea.

Grandma and Grandpa, who had been married for decades, had a love as deep as first love, which was the envy of the younger generation.

They all hoped to find their other half in the vast sea of people, and like Grandma and Grandpa, be able to rely on each other from youth to old age. Companionship is the longest confession of love. "Grandma, Grandpa, why didn't you let me know you were coming? I could've picked you up."

Eric accompanied them into the hotel.

Most of the hotel staff didn't recognize the old couple. Hearing Eric call them Grandma and Grandpa, they realized they were the former owners and their wife.

"Your brother's thing, you know about it, right? He wanted to keep it low-key, so we also kept it low-key." Savannah said with a gentle smile. Nowadays, they preferred to keep a low profile, just like other old folks, living a peaceful and colorful life in their twilight years.

Their identities were unknown, which allowed them to hear many interesting stories.

Eric took his grandparents to the most luxurious private room in the hotel. After helping them to sit down, he said, "Ms. Moore already knows about my big brother's real identity."

"But her mom doesn't."

Eric chuckled, "Secrets always get out eventually."

"Your big brother said he would be here around six."

Savannah checked the time. Since it wasn't six yet, she told Eric, "Eric, sit down. I have something to tell you."
