Lynette was indeed smart, as she knew exactly what Harry was talking about right when she heard it. Then, she smiled excitedly at him, saying, "What you are saying is that we can use this party's opportunity to invite Toby over. That way, we will have a chance to meet him and mend our relationship, unlike now when we can't do anything or see him in person."
"Yes, Lynette. That's what I meant," said Harry as he looked at her proudly.
To him, Lynette was perfect in everything. There was nothing she could do wrong.
However, Grayson, who was beside them, frowned and said, "Dad, what if Toby decides not to come to the party? If that's the case, can we still see him?"
When Lynette heard his words, she was also worried too. "That's right, Grandpa. What if Toby isn't there? It's been seven years since I last saw him. I…"
"Calm down, Lynette. I will let you see him, so don't worry," said Harry while squinting his sharp eyes.
When Lynette heard his words, her eyes brightened up in delight. "Do you have something in mind, Grandpa?"
Harry nodded and said, "Yes. Toby will definitely come. When that time comes, I will need you to do something in order to boost your relationship with him. Although you might need to sacrifice something, for the sake of you being with Toby and making our family affinity with theirs, you must do this. Do you understand me, Lynette?" With that, he looked at her.
At that moment, Grayson and Amelia were looking at them in confusion.
"Dad, what are you trying to make Lynette do? Don't do anything stupid."
"That's right, Dad."
They were worried for their daughter's well-being at this moment. However, neither Harry nor Lynette acknowledged them. At this moment, Lynette could only see Harry in her eyes and his words in her mind. Since she was smarter than her parents, she immediately knew what Harry meant by his words and understood what she would sacrifice. Thinking about it, Lynette could feel her heart thumping wildly.
Then, she put her hands on her knees, gripping them to surpass the excitement in her as she looked at Harry. "I understand what you mean, Grandpa. Don't worry. I won't let you down," she said.
Seeing that she understood what he was implying, Harry smiled in relief. "That's my granddaughter. Alright, it's getting late. Come, accompany me to dinner, Lynette."
"Okay." Lynette stood up and linked her arms with Harry's as they walked toward the dining room together.
As for Grayson and Amelia, they were being ignored by Lynette and Harry. The couple stood up and looked at each other after watching them leave.
"Honey, what were they saying just now? Do you understand?" Amelia said as she furrowed her eyebrow, looking worried.
"No." Grayson shook his head.
In this house, Grayson knew his place. He knew that he wasn't intelligent like Harry and Lynette. Most of the time, Lynette could immediately understand what Harry was talking about, but he had to ponder it for a long time. Due to this, they would discuss it on their own and leave him out of it like what happened just now. After it happened a few times, Grayson was used to it.
