The smile on Lennon's face vanished as well. He set down the fork he had been holding and removed his scarf, revealing an aged voice that carried an undeniable authority. "Is this how you speak to your grandfather?"

Years of living in luxury had given Lennon a somewhat fuller figure. His face bore some lines and wrinkles, though not excessively so, and his hair was graying. He maintained an impeccably neat appearance, resembling a distinguished elderly gentleman. However, his eyes, so similar to Colby's, brimmed with a wild, dangerous aggression.

"Colby, your grandfather hasn't been troubling me. We were just having a meal."

Hearing the mention of a meal, Colby's attention was drawn to the pies that were placed in front of Lennon.

Colby stepped forward and casually took a piece with his fork to ensure the pie wasn't poisoned.

"It's a bit salty," he remarked nonchalantly.

Sophie crossed her arms, saying, "Colby, I made that pie."

"It's delicious."

Lennon's expression darkened at his grandson's quick change of tone. Colby's behavior was just like his lovestruck father back in the day!
