Chapter 137 Mason's Orders

"Grandpa, you're still up!" Emily exclaimed.

After putting on some fresh clothes and applying her medicine, Emily followed Michael to Mason's study.

Mason was there, totally absorbed in his calligraphy, creating this serene vibe.

But Michael was about to ruin it. "Grandpa, it's super late! If you end up ruining your eyesight from practicing calligraphy, it won't be worth it!"

Emily was mortified. She wished she could sew Michael's mouth shut right then and there.

"You always make fun of me," Mason chuckled.

But Mason actually found it funny and laughed heartily at Michael's comment.

He set his pen down and motioned for Emily to join him on the sofa. "You guys cut off the internet, so I had to find something to do."

Emily, who was terrible at lying, froze for a moment.

Mason noticed her reaction but didn't say anything. Michael, however, kept playing dumb. "Cutting off the internet was for your own good, Grandpa. Fewer games mean healthier eyes! Calligraphy at least cultivates your mind. I'm all for that!" Michael plopped down opposite Emily, crossing his legs lazily and giving her a knowing look.

Emily realized how bad she was at lying and quickly smiled at Mason.
