S31 145. Want to Keep Playing

Louis and Emily laughed on Melanie’s lap. They like the way their grandmother read fairy tales. The witch’s voice was so precise.

“Repeat it again, Grandma. This part.” Emily pointed at the previous paragraph. As soon as Melanie finished reading, she and Louis giggled again. Frank and Kara shook their heads at their behavior.

“Kids, don’t you want to go home yet? It’s dinner time soon. Poor Grandma Susan if she is eating alone at home.”

Louis shook his head without thinking. “Did you forget, Daddy? Philip and Auntie Barbara are accompanying her at home. Grandma Susan will definitely be okay if we have dinner here.”

“Yes! Louis and I want to wait for news from Uncle Jeremy. We hope, that Eva isn’t sad anymore so she wants to make peace with Ava.” Emily nodded cutely.

“Philip and Barbara has gone. It looks like they want to have dinner out. Do you have the heart to leave Grandma Susan alone?”

“There’s still Nora and the others, Daddy. Grandma Susan won’t be lonely.” Louis raised his eyebrows carefree. Beside him, Emily repeated her nod.

“Besides, we often have dinner with Grandma Susan. Today it’s Grandma Melanie’s turn to accompany us.”

Melanie snorted at Emily’s sweet voice. “How could you use me as your excuse? I know you guys wanted to be here so you could

continue playing. You must have known that Barbara and Philip were going out. It’s Saturday night. You don’t want to be lonely.”

The twins smiled faintly.

“No, Grandma. We really want to accompany you. The proof is we are sitting here, not running around.”

“Come on, Grandma. Continue the fairy tale. We haven’t gotten to the part where the witch was defeated by the princess.” Emily patted Melanie’s hand.

However, just as Melanie opened her mouth, the sound of a wheelchair caught their attention. Bryan turned out to be pushing Mrs. Connor in. Beside him, Jeremy and Ava walked with even expressions. It’s hard to guess whether they succeeded in persuading Eva or not.

“Uncle Jeremy!” The twins jumped down from Melanie’s lap.

How is Eva? Is she okay?” Louis stopped right in front of Jeremy. His head looked up, waiting for a change in his uncle’s stiff face.

Jeremy pursed his lips. Before he could answer, Ava interrupted, “Eval is fine. You don’t need to worry.”
