Alden’s face went fifty shades of busted.

Allen smacked his fork down. “Alden, what’s going on?”

Alden’s face went storm–cloud dark. “Grandpa, I’ll call Kaia right away.”

Allen snorted, “Humph, Kaia’s gonna be my

Serena nearly jumped out of her skin at his sudden outburst.

She shook her head. “Mrs. Graves went on a business trip.”

Alden frowned. “She actually said that?”

“Not really. Just saw her with a suitcase…” Serena’s voice went quiet.

Suitcase… That’s definitely a business trip, right?
