My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calcraft)

Chapter 1825

At the old residence, Frederic was sitting in a lounge chair under the sun.

Several of the Petro family children laughed as they played with each other in the garden.

Finnegan clasped his hands behind his back and plastered a smile on his face as he walked toward Frederic. "Enjoying the sun, Frederic?"

"Yes," Frederic replied calmly.

Finnegan rubbed his hands together. "Well... there's something I wanted to discuss with you!"

"Go ahead. As long as it's not something concerning Colby!"

He had been informed about what had happened to Colby shortly after the incident occurred and knew that Finnegan most likely was here because of that. There was nothing he could do about it.

Finnegan gritted his teeth. "He's my grandson, and we grew up inseparable. If you don't want to do it for him, do it for my sake?"

Frederick looked up lazily at Finnegan. "So what if he's your grandson? I'd be the same even if it were Cobalt who'd gotten into trouble!"

"You've got a heart of stone, Frederick!"

Finnegan smiled bitterly.
