Chapter 142 Are You Afraid?

“Don’t worry about it. It’s grandpa’s fault for not keeping his promise. If he continues to refuse talking to you, then you should just ignore him too!” Maia said, intentionally speaking loud enough so that Hans could hear them.

Hans quickly stood up and tip–toed to the kitchen door as he continued to eavesdrop on their conversation.

“Is someone else coming over too?” Maia asked as she came out of the kitchen.

“Nope, no one!” Hans was surprised by Maia suddenly appearing behind him.

Maia eyed him suspiciously as she pointed at the pudding she brought. “Grandpa, if you don’t tell me, you won’t be getting any of this.”
