Never Late, Never Away Chapter 805
Then, he aimed an accusatory glance at Finnick.
It’s bad enough that they didn’t tell me they reconciled. They didn’t even tell me they have a son who’s already this old!
Samuel’s stern gaze made Finnick slightly uneasy.
Clearing his throat, he explained, “Grandpa, I was going to tell you, but I wanted to wait until things were more stable.”
Finnick gauged his grandfather’s reaction, hoping that this reason would appease him.
But Samuel never planned to hold him accountable for this in the first place. Seeing as Finnick rarely came home, he didn’t want to kick up a fuss.
In spite of that, he still harrumphed loudly in displeasure.
“Don’t be mad, Great-grandpa. Daddy didn’t mean it.” Larry went up to Samuel and tugged on the hem of his shirt, hoping to ease his anger.
“Haha. Alright, alright.” Samuel happily obliged, his beard quivering slightly as he chuckled.
Everyone sighed inaudibly when they saw Samuel in good spirits, especially the two adults.
Nothing was more important than making sure Samuel was happy.
No longer angry, Samuel asked them to head to the dining room for lunch.
It had been a long time since the whole family had a meal together, so Samuel ordered the housemaid to prepare an especially big feast.
The housemaid knew that Finnick and Vivian rarely came home, so she made sure to give it her best.
Samuel didn’t know about Vivian’s preferences, so to play it safe, he instructed the housemaid to prepare a little bit of everything.
As a result, the table was filled with a wide variety of food, and Vivian was humbled at the sight of it.
“Grandpa, you didn’t have to prepare so much food. I’m not a picky eater.” Vivian was worried that she would receive the same grand reception the next time they visited because it would put a lot of pressure on her.
“Alright. Let’s enjoy a scrumptious meal just this once. I’ll make it simple the next time.” Samuel, of course, understood Vivian’s concerns.
