Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 1057:

Thinking quickly, he leaned down and whispered in their ears, “Looks like your grandpa’s not very happy with me right now. Why don’t you go and brighten his day?” The kids glanced at Paul before turning back to Connor.

“Okay, Dad. We’ll handle it,” Lindsay chirped.

“We promise to keep Grandpa from getting angry for the family’s sake!” Lawrence chimed in.

Connor smiled and gently pinched their cheeks. “Off you go, then!”

With that, the two dashed over to Paul and hugged his legs just as he was about to walk over and confront Connor.

“Grandpa!”

“Grandpa!”

The kids called out happily in unison.

Their sweet voices melted Paul’s heart, banishing any thoughts of scolding Connor. Looking at them, he couldn’t help but smile.

Before he knew it, he was kneeling to meet their happy faces. In front of these two, he wasn’t the formidable owner of the Sunrise but their kind and gentle grandpa. As Paul bent down, Lindsay cleverly popped a candy into his mouth. “Try this, Grandpa! It’s sweet, smells nice, and will make you smile!”

Paul hadn’t had candy in years, especially the milky ones kids loved. But as the familiar flavor filled his mouth, it brought back happy childhood memories, and a smile spread across his face.

Lawrence quickly chimed in, “How is it, Grandpa? Sweet, right? Smells good, too? Does it make you happy?”

“Yes, yes,” Paul said, nodding with a grin. “It’s sweet, smells good, and makes me happy!”

The kids burst into laughter, their giggles filling the room. To get more of Paul’s attention, Lindsay suggested, “Your house is big, Grandpa. And it’s my first time here! Can you give me a tour?”

“I want to go too!” Lawrence said, bouncing with excitement.

Paul hesitated for a second.

Aside from being the central figure of the event, he had planned to use this time to socialize with the elite families in Blebert. He had just completed the introductions, and it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to wander off, as it would come off as disrespectful to the other guests.

But he couldn’t say no to his grandchildren, who looked very excited to spend time with him. Eventually, he relented.noveldrama

Paul took their hands and addressed the crowd with a slightly apologetic smile. “Looks like Grandpa is needed, and I can’t really say no. If you’ll excuse me, everyone, I’ll be with my grandkids. Once again, I thank you for coming. Please enjoy the rest of the party.”

With that, Paul led the kids away. Lindsay and Lawrence bounced around and chattered happily, making him laugh.

The guests were slightly surprised as they watched Paul leave with the kids.

“Oh my goodness!” someone exclaimed suddenly.
