Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 311

However, all of them had neglected the fact that money no longer mattered much for a man at such an advanced age like his grandfather, and that how precious North’s gift was for him.

Feeling a lump in his throat, Eugene reached out to caress the boy’s head. “Why don’t you play one for your Great-Grandpa now?”

In response to Eugene’s suggestion, North spun around to face Old Man Nolan. “Great-grandpa, would you like to listen to it?”

Old Man Nolan nodded vigorously with his eyes brimming with joy and affection. Out of all his children and grandchildren which made up nearly a hundred people, none of them was able to make him this happy.

While North was teaching the old man how to use the recording pen, he pressed the ‘play’ button and soon, his crisp and clear voice came from the speaker: ‘Great-grandpa, here’s a compilation of jokes for you and today, I’m going to tell you one of them! One day, Mason’s teacher was annoyed because he was restless and had not been paying attention to the class. So, the teacher scolded him angrily, “Mason, I’m not pleased to see you moving around like this. If you don’t sit still and focus during the class, I’ll tell your father about this.” Then, Mason retorted with a frown on his head, “Sir, I’m not happy about you either but I’ve never wanted to tell your father about this. Since both of us are guys, we should settle this between ourselves. It’s really unmanly of you to tell my father about this behind my back!’

As soon as the recording ended, there was a smile on everyone’s face not because the joke was great, but mostly because the little boy looked hilarious as he alternated between Mason’s role and the teacher’s role.

Grabbing North’s shoulder, Old Man Nolan exclaimed somewhat emotionally, “You’re a good boy, North, and I love your gift very much.”

Giggling, North pressed the button to pause the recording before handing it back to Old Man Nolan. “Great-grandpa, there are a lot more other jokes stored inside. Once you finish everything, I will record more for you.”

The moment Old Man Nolan took the pen, he could feel his heart fill up with warmth all of a sudden. He held the boy’s hands affectionately and gazed at the little boy endearingly.

“Great-grandpa, Mommy has prepared something for you too.” With that, North gave Olivia a nudge toward the old man.

Staring at the little boy, Olivia complained, “My gift has been overshadowed by yours.”
