"Grandpa, I've wrapped up all my tasks for the day. If you don't believe me, feel free to ask around," Finnian replied nonchalantly.

Kevin paused for a moment, recalling his grandson's knack for finishing work ahead of time. A swell of pride rose within him, but the scent of perfume on Finnian's clothes made him furrow his brows once again.

Finnian maintained a calm demeanor, offering only a vague explanation, brushing off the interrogation with a few words.

Meanwhile, Amara stood quietly by Kevin's side, not uttering a single word. She thought, Kevin had called Finnian over for no apparent reason. Finnian would probably blame her for stirring up trouble, and she doubted he'd believe any explanation she might offer.
