Chapter 60: The Day Full Of Twists

After breakfast, as Justin was preparing to leave, Andrew spoke up. "Albert, I should head out too. Julia’s in the city, and I need to meet her."

Albert sighed, visibly reluctant to see his friend go. "Hmm, well, I can’t argue when it’s about your sister."

Natalie quickly jumped in, sensing the mood. "Grandpa, you need to return to the hospital anyway. How about I take you there while Aiden takes Grandpa Andrew with him?"

She wanted to create and opportunity for Justin and Andrew to talk and clear things.

"That seems like a good idea," and looked at Justin, "You won’t be late for work, will you, Aiden?"

"It’s no trouble," Justin replied, only to see Albert to grin with pride and say to his friend, "See? Such a respectful, dutiful young man my grandson-in-law is. Always considerate of us elders."

Andrew offered a genuine nod to it as he knew Justin in fact was a well mannered young man. The way he took care of Julia, and loved her, he had seen it in person when he visited Justin along with Julia in the other country where Justin was studying and staying.

As Justin and Andrew stepped outside together, Andrew broke the silence. "I have a car downstairs, but I think you owe me an explanation before we get there."

"How about we go to a nearby coffee house and talk, Grandpa?" Justin suggested as they entered the elevator.

Andrew glanced at him, narrowing his eyes. "Grandpa? You remember I’m your grandfather, do you?"
