Rowan puffed his cheeks while squinting as he stared at Zephyr. He stretched one hand into his pocket and was excited as he squeezed his needle box.
A gibberish, sweet voice suddenly came from afar away at that moment. "Grandpoo!"
Rowan was stunned.
He saw Zuko run to him in a wobbly manner. From afar, he looked like a fair and chubby mochi. His eyes were so big that he could melt someone's heart.
He was smiling extra brightly under the sun. God seemed to have put everything good in his dimples.
Cordelia was not sure whether to laugh or cry. She quickly corrected him. "Darling, it's grandpa! Grandpa!"
Rowan's heart softened. He did not care whether he was called "grandpa" or "grandpoo". It was music to his ears as long as his darling grandson called him.
At that moment, he did not know that he was smiling brightly. He called out loudly while opening his arms. "Hey! Grandpoo is here. Grandpoo is here to see my little darling!"
Cordelia and Zephyr looked at each other. They held their laughter back.
The little thing buried himself in his grandfather's embrace. Rowan carried him high and carefully carried him in his arms. He was eager to kiss him but worried that his mustache might poke him. He made some silly faces, making Zuko laugh.
Zephyr released a long sigh of relief. God must have sent his son to save him!
Rowan forgot about Zephyr comparing him to dogs after seeing his grandson. All he cared about was playing with him.
The usually intimidating Mr. Irwin always gave a scary distance to people. People felt as if they had to hold their breath when they spoke to him.
However, Zuko was the only one who could pull his beard, pluck his eyebrows, and mess with his hair.
The baby was neutral with his strength, making Rowan wince from the pain. Cordelia could not watch, so she stepped forward and hit Zuko's chubby hand.
"Let go!"
"What are you doing?" Rowan instantly widened his eyes and protected Zuko in his arms.
"Dad, you can't allow him to make this a bad habit!"
"How's pulling my beard and eyebrows a bad habit? He's your son by blood, don't be too strict with him!" Rowan spoke as if what he said made sense. He even inched closer for Little Zuko to grab his hair.
"It's okay, little darling. Just pull it! Grandpoo has a lot of hair! Hahaha!"
Cordelia was helpless. "Don't let him make you bald!"
"I'm willing to do that! I'm willing to let my darling grandson do whatever he wants. Isn't that right?"
