When Elliot arrived at Stanley’s house and saw an elderly married couple appearing to welcome them, Elliot was a bit pessimistic. He had always thought Loraine was his grandmother and had to be nice to the older woman so he wouldn’t get punished. But he discovered that the woman was not his real grandmother making him assume he had no grandparents.

As long as Richard and Anxia―his birth parents loved and protected him dearly, that would be enough for Elliot. He didn’t need another grandpa or grandma. In addition, his grandfather named Opa Stanley’s aura was somehow... as dangerous as Song Lei.

This frightened him, and he was relieved not to greet the elderly couple. But he couldn’t dodge any longer because his father told him to say hello to his grandparents.

“Lori, opa, and oma haven’t met your brother yet. Let them meet first, and then you play again. Okay?” Richard cajoled, to which Lori immediately agreed. “Come here, Elliot.”

Elliot had no interest in meeting strangers. But since these two strangers were Richard’s parents, wouldn’t it be impolite for him not to greet them? However... he could sense the elderly couple disliked his presence.

.....

The truth was Stanley and Meisya had the same reactions as Anxia and Richard when they first heard the news that Lori had twins, but in Elliot’s eyes, their responses were different.

Elliot had trauma and did not trust strangers other than his parents. He had such a strong attachment to his parents that the little boy immediately opened his heart to Richard and Anxia when they met.

But… it would take time for Elliot to open his heart to someone else.

“Elliot, they are my parents, and from now on, they are your opa and oma.”

The little boy who hadn’t greeted them until now was almost about to step back when Meisya crouched down to greet him. If this woman hadn’t been his father’s mother, Elliot would have hidden behind his mother.

“It’s nice to finally see you, Elliot. Will you allow me to hug you?” Meisya’s distinctive motherly and gentle voice stunned Elliot.

He had never heard Loraine’s gentle tone and eyes full of love, let alone one directed at him. Even so, Elliot didn’t make a sound for an answer and still treated this woman like a stranger.

“Why? Am I not allowed to hug you? If so, may I hold your hand?” Meisya hasn’t given up on approaching a grandson she has never met. She had heard briefly from Richard what Elliot had experienced while being cared for and held captive by evil people in another country. Hence, she understood why Elliot had built an invisible wall against foreigners.

Currently, the only people who could move Elliot’s heart were Richard, Anxia, ??Lori, Mei Yin, and Jamie. This was the first time Elliot had met Stanley-Meisya, and Elliot had fortified himself to avoid them.

Elliot still didn’t budge from his spot―he wanted to refuse but didn’t want to anger his father. He could have acted and been a good boy to please this old lady, but Anxia had made him promise not to pretend anymore.

Richard and Anxia looked at each other, which only they understood. At the same time, Lori, who knew nothing and was insensitive to the tense atmosphere between them, immediately grabbed Elliot’s hand and made her brother’s hand touch the grandmother’s warm skin.

The four adults who saw Lori’s innocent actions widened their eyes in shock as they had never expected their little daughter to act while Elliot’s body instantly became a statue.

“See? Isn’t oma Meisya’s hands as warm as spring?” chirped Lori, who was now also holding her grandmother’s other hand, making Meisya smile with amusement.

“Lori, you’re so naughty. Look at him now. He’s like a statue.”

“Eh?” Lori turned to Elliot with a curious look while blinking a few times.

Elliot didn’t notice how Lori looked at him curiously. His primary focus was on his left hand, which this woman gripped. Meisya’s grip wasn’t tight, and Elliot could have pulled his hand away easily. But there was something that made him not want to let go of her grasp, and he didn’t know what.

“Mother, forgive me. It seems he needs time to adjust.” Anxia also squatted beside Elliot and looked at her mother-in-law with regretful eyes.

“I understand. You must be exhausted from the long journey. How about you take a break first? I’ll cook some dishes, and then we can have lunch together.”

Richard and Anxia immediately agreed and invited their two children to sleep together. Lori squealed with joy and jumped up with a laugh making the awkwardness melt between them.

Lori is indeed the most reliable to make the tense atmosphere melt away.

Richard let Anxia first bring their children into the room while he stood beside his father to tease him.

“Dad, until when are you going to put on a scary face like that? He got scared seeing your expression.”

Stanley raised an eyebrow at his eldest son and snorted sarcastically. “Is it over?”

Richard smiled broadly at his father’s question. “Yup. All is over, and we can go back to how we used to be, and no one will bother us.”

Stanley nodded in satisfaction at his son’s answer.

“But, dad, there is one thing I want to talk to you about.”

“What’s that?”

“When I was tracing the names of people who sustain the Luen group, I came across the name Aiden Paxton.”

“…”

“To my knowledge, Aiden Paxton has died from poisoning Aunt Katie and kidnapping Aunt Cathy. Then, why is his name still listed as a Luen group backer?”

“Richie, don’t tell me that he found out that the person who attacked the Luen group was you.”

“No. But... isn’t he dead?”

Yes, that man is dead, but his son is still alive, and no one knows where the son whereabout.

“Dad, why do you look worried?”

How could Stanley not be worried? Aiden Paxton has long wanted to destroy the remaining Paxton family and the Alvianc group, which was also involved in the struggle for military power decades ago―if Aiden’s son found out that this time Richard Calvin intervened in destroying the Luen group, who knows what kind of revenge plan that man will carry out.
