Love the Second Time Around Novel

Chapter 147 A Private Conversation

I had noticed over the past few days that Grandpa did not seem to like Dominic very much. So, naturally, I did not have a good feeling about the two of them being alone and tried to follow them into the room. However, Grandpa sternly stopped me at the door.

He even told my parents that we were not to eavesdrop on their conversation. Thus, the three of us were left waiting outside the door.

I wanted to secretly sneak in after them, but Dad stopped me. He said that Grandpa must have something important that he wanted to say to Dominic privately.

But what important things do they even have to talk about?

My grandfather was not the kind of man who would say the same thing over and over again. I had actually not thought much of their conversation, but after what my father said, I suddenly felt curious about what they would talk about.

I paced restlessly outside the door. After a long while, I turned to my father. “Dad, what do you think Grandpa is saying to Dominic? They’ve been in there for so long! Why don’t I go in and see what’s up?”

“No, no. You stay put here with me. Do you think your Grandpa is a monster? Are you afraid that your Grandpa will eat Dom up? You’re a grown woman; have a little patience!”

“Oh, please! As if you aren’t curious too, Dad!” I muttered to myself, quietly complaining about my father’s fake composure. He had already downed several glasses of water in his anxiety.

“I think your grandfather must be testing Dom. Anyway, you both should have nothing to worry about. Dom is a good kid. It’ll be fine!” Mom said optimistically.

After waiting for another ten minutes, Dominic finally emerged from the room.

I immediately ran over to him and bombarded him with questions about what Grandpa had said to him. My parents, too, were listening curiously.

Dominic gently caressed my hair and said with a gentle smile, “Nothing much. He just told me to take good care of you. Otherwise, he will hunt me down.”

“That’s it?” I asked incredulously. It took Grandpa half an hour just to say that?

Dominic nodded and replied, “Yep, that’s it.”
