Although it isn’t clear what Jamie wants to do, Bunny quickly washes up and changes out of his pajamas before going down with Jamie.
True enough, when they go down to the living room, they see Mr. and Madam Moore who are impatient from the waiting. She quickly greets them politely.
“Uncle, Auntie, I’m so sorry to have kept you waiting. Bunny slept in and just woke up.”
Bunny turns and looks at his mom, he snorts and thinks, that cunning mother, to think that she uses him as a shield.
Once Mr. and Madam Moore see Bunny, all their frustrations vanish. They quickly wave their hands while saying, “No no, no worries, it’s good for kids to sleep in.”
“Bunny, come to granny.” Madam Moore looks so happy. She waves at bunny lovingly in anticipation.
Even the usual stern and serious Mr. Moore turns gentle and smiles while looking at Bunny.
“Go and greet Grandpa and Grandma.” Jamie gently pats Bunny’s shoulder and says softly.
She knows that Bunny has become distant to his grandma because of her but they are still his grandparents. She should not allow their relationships to be adversely affected.
Bunny listens to Jamie and his apprehension disappears. He walks to his grandparents and says adorably, “Grandpa, grandma, how are you today?”
Mr. and Madam Moore’s hearts warm up with his greeting and are so happy that they smile from ear to ear.
“We’re fine, Bunny’s such a good boy. This is a gift from grandpa.” Mr. Moore takes out an intricate present which was personally chosen by him at the store.
“Grandma also has a gift for Bunny.” Madam Moore looks by her side and finds the package and gives it to Bunny.
Bunny looks at the two gifts and appears troubled. He turns to look at Jamie for her opinion.
Jamie smiles and nods.
Bunny then readily accepts grandpa and grandma’s presents.
When Mr. Moore sees the distance between Bunny and them, he knows that it has been a while since they interacted. So, it was natural that he is apprehensive when they visit so suddenly.
“Jamie, come and sit down.” Mr. Moore points towards the sofa and directs Jamie to sit.
“Okay, Uncle.” Jamie nods and laughs and proceeds to sit down.
Madam Moore pulls Bunny towards her and inspects him and says in surprise, “See, didn’t I say that he looks so familiar. He looks identical to Dan when he was a kid!”
“Grandma is very smart! Bunny will look like mom and dad and become a very handsome man!” Bunny says proudly and smiles with his eyes close and in his chubby soft cheeks.
Mr. and Madam Moore listens and pauses for a second, then could not resist and laugh out loud. They pat Bunny’s head and praise him.
What … looks like mommy and daddy and become a very handsome young man?
Jamie smiles while thinking of lovingly spanking her cheeky son.
“Honey, don’t forget that your nose looks like mom. If you look like mommy, you’ll become a very handsome man.” Jamie says proudly.
“Who says so, Bunny’s eyes look exactly like Dan’s. He must look like Dan to be a handsome man.” Madam Moore says immediately objecting to what Jamie just said.
Jamie hooks her smile, and says pleasantly, “But Bunny’s facial shape resembles me, so he still resembles me the most.”
