1. Louis Harper and Emily Harper

“I’m fine,” Rowan said firmly, “much better. My grandson is back. I have nothing to fear anymore.”

Frank nodded, smiling. He had expected that the awkwardness

between them would not be gone for long.

Suddenly, the door opened again. A second later, two tiny faces peeked out from the gap.

“Can we go in now?” Louis whispered.

“No, Louis. Let’s just wait for Daddy’s signal.”

Hearing that little conversation, Frank’s stiffness faded. Taking a deep breath, he patted the back of Rowan’s hand. “Grandpa, you have two more visitors.”

“Who?” Rowan’s eyes widened. He was a little afraid that the person was Kara. His heart could be in danger against the anger.

Frank walked towards the door. As soon as he pulled the handle, tv toddlers stared wide eyed.

“Can we come in?” Louis whispered with an adorable expression. Emily who was standing in front of him subconsciously gripped the book and held her breath.

Frank sweetened his face and nodded. “Come in, Kids. Say hello to your great-grandfather.”

Blinking, the twins stepped inside.

“Hello, Great Grandpa. How is your condition?”

“Are you getting better?” Emily continued, still with furrowed

eyebrows.

Seeing the two little toddlers, Rowan was stunned. His mouth was agape, but his brain hadn’t finished processing the words. Weren’t the two toddlers on the cruise? Then, why did they meet him in party outfits?

Suddenly, Louis turned to Frank. “Daddy, it looks like Great Grandpal isn’t very well. He couldn’t answer us yet. Should he get an injection?”

Rowan blinked. His eyes opened wider. “What do you call my grandson?”
