"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.
