Daniella came forward and led them into the house.

“Alright, that’s great to know.” Crayson nodded his head solemnly just then.

“What’s great to know?” Meanwhile, Veronica, who was quite confused by his words, couldn’t help asking.

“Yeah, that’s right. Your master’s quite right.” Tony agreed with Crayson too.

Veronica was at a loss for words upon hearing that. “What’s going on in your brains? Gosh!” She shook her head and responded, “Dad, today’s your birthday and it’s also his birthday coincidentally, so he came over to celebrate your birthdays together.”

As soon as Veronica said that, she also realized how ridiculous the reason sounded and she quickly explained, “This was his grandmother’s idea. Actually, my god grandmother instructed him to come here.”

“Is that so? That does sound reasonable.” At that point, Tony nodded his head and he could finally heave a sigh of relief.
