Chapter 0522

Peter took a bath and a short nap. He woke up when he felt someone tugging on his hair–a small hand playing with his curls.

“Ethan, aren’t you going to school?” said Peter, groggy, with his eyes still closed.

“Yeah, but I want you to take me. Where have you been, Grandpa?”

“I’ve had a lot of work, and now I’m a little tired. Ask Theodore to take you to school.”

“Grandpa, don’t you want to take me anymore?”

“I do, but remember, I’m taking care of Miss Celeste at the hospital. I’m really tired today.”

“Hmm… okay, only because you’re looking after her. But I miss you, Grandpa! I barely see you anymore.”

Hearing that, Peter felt a pang in his chest. He turned to look at his grandson, already dressed in his school uniform. He pulled him into a hug and said:

“I promise I’ll make some time and pick you up from school this afternoon!”

“Really?”

“Yes!”

“Hey… what happened to your mouth? You’ve got a mark here,” Ethan said, touching the bruise.

“Ouch! Don’t touch it–it hurts!”

heh! Grandpa, did you fall in the bathroom or something?” Ethan laughed. “You always tell me to be careful when I’m bathing, and now you fell, didn’t you?”

The truth was, he had been neglecting Ethan. Usually, either the driver or Peter himself would take Ethan to school. Only occasionally did Theodore or Alden step in. With everything going on, Ethan
