Chapter 108: Chain Reaction Chapter 108: Chain Reaction He studied her for a moment longer, but Nnenna was already pulling her shawl tighter around her shoulders, glancing up at the darkening sky.

The time had slipped away faster than she realized.

She had to return before dinner, before anyone at the castle questioned where she had been.

“Grandpa, I need to go back home now,” Nnenna said, adjusting her shawl.

“So fast?” The old man raised a brow, but he couldn’t hide the small smile tugging at his lips.

He had enjoyed her company more than he expected.

“Give me your phone number,” he said suddenly.

“That way, I can call you next time.

You barely had a chance to eat today, and I want to make sure you get a full dish for yourself next time.” Nnenna paused, surprised by his seriousness.

After a brief moment, she nodded.

“I don’t have a phone right now,” she admitted.

“But I’ll come back to this spot when I can.

How about that?” The old man chuckled.

“Alright, alright.

I’ll be waiting.” As she turned to leave, he lifted a hand in farewell.

“Hope to see you again soon!” “Me too,” she called over her shoulder, picking up her pace.

Just before she disappeared into the crowd, she turned back and waved.

The old man watched her go, a thoughtful expression on his face.

“Old man, your granddaughter seems like a very good girl,” a nearby customer remarked with a grin.

While the others nodded in agreement.

The old man’s smile deepened.

He didn’t bother correcting them.

“Yes,” he said simply.

“She really is.” Having a granddaughter like that girl… now that would make a man wake up with a smile every single day.
