"My great-grandfather came. He is my grandfather's father, a white- bearded old man," Hayden chirped.

Natalie was taken aback.

Hayden's great-grandfather, Peter...

She had seen him before. His old age was of no hindrance. In fact, he was spirited and vigorous.

"Well, you should spend more time with your greatgrandfather," Natalie replied.

"I like great-grandpa, but I don't like the woman that my great-grandfather brought." Hayden added, "She feels b*tchy."

Natalie was a little speechless.

"Hayden, you're too young to know what that means."

"It's true, Natalie." Hayden defended himself. "That woman pretends to be very close to me, but I can tell that she doesn't like me at all!"

Natalie did not take Hayden's words to heart, thinking it was just child's talk.

Her tone was gentle. "Don't think too much about it, Hayden."

Seeing that Natalie did not react too much, Hayden pouted but did not dwell on the matter further.
