Abel glanced at Evelyn in silence. “Paul sure did teach his daughter well. You’re a well-rounded woman,” Oscar said. “You flatter me, Grandad. I’ll be sure to prepare more delicacies for you in the future,” Evelyn said.
“Perhaps you should stay and be my granddaughter-in-law. My sons are supposed to get married soon, but Emmeline seems to be…” Abel suddenly turned around. Oscar nearly bumped into him. “Are you trying to give me a heart attack?” Oscar uttered.
“I lost my appetite so I’ll be leaving now,” Abel said. “I dare you!” Oscar yelled. “I apologize, grandad,” Abel said as he walked past Oscar. “Mr. Abel, don’t leave!” Evelyn held onto his arm. Abel pushed her away.
“Mr. Abel, do you hate me? If you do then I’ll leave. Please don’t make Grandad angry,” Evelyn said with teary eyes. Abel glared at Evelyn in silence. “Mr. Abel, please don’t go. I’ll leave instead…” Evelyn muttered.
“Abel! You’re a man yet you’re acting like a child! Get back here! You can leave after lunch!” Oscar shouted. “Abel, cut it out with that. How can you disobey Grandad” Adrien said. “That’s right, Mr. Abel. We’re all here, so let’s not make things difficult for Grandad” Lizbeth added.
