In the living room, Master Giltstone was sitting on a rosewood armchair. He was wearing gold-rimmed reading glasses and his beard was nicely trimmed. Even though he was 86 years old, he looked like he was in his early sixties as his complexion was ruddy and shiny. The eyes behind his pair of glasses revealed a kind of deterrent power that came with vigor and vitality.
As he saw the two of them walking in, his eyes became as big as saucers. He supported his glasses with his hands and carefully examined the little boy who was brought in by his grandson. Was that the child?
"Grandpa." Augustine smiled gently and sat beside him. Augustine gently put Zeph down. Zeph raised his father-like face and looked at the Master Giltstone curiously.
Augustine looked at his son's fearless look and couldn't help laughing in a low voice, "Zeph, say hi to your great grandfather."
"Nice to meet you, Great-grandpa." The tender and clear voice was peaceful.
Master Giltstone reached out his hand with excitement and pulled Zeph to his front. He held his
glasses with one hand and studied Zeph carefully.
"He looks exactly like Augustine when he was a kid. He is definitely the child of the Giltstone
family." Master Giltstone chuckled and looked at Augustine with a sullen face, "Augustine, how do you explain this? Why was the child of the Giltstone family dawdling outside?"
Zeph blinked his eyes. He felt that his greatgrandfather was telling off his daddy. He couldn't help saying, "Great-grandpa, please don't scold daddy!"
"I'm not scolding him. I'm blaming him. How could he leave you outside?" Master Giltstone explained with a gentle face.
Zeph was still young! English was an extensive and profound language, it was difficult for him to understand what his great-grandpa was saying. He questioned with a confused face, "Why did great grandfather say that I was left outside? Greatgrandfather, I am not an object, how could I be left somewhere?"
The serious atmosphere was instantly smouldered by Zeph. Even Master Gilstone burst into laughter, Augustine also smiled.
Seeing that his great-grandfather and daddy were laughing, Zeph giggled. Then, he threw himself into Master Giltstone's arms and raised his head to look at his white beard, "Great-grandpa, your beard is so long! Can I touch it?"
Master Gilstone hadn't held such a little child for a long time. He reached out and held him up. Augustine, who was beside him, couldn't help but worry, "Grandpa, you shouldn't carry him."
"What? My Great-grandson, are you afraid that I can't hold him?" After that, Master Gilstone looked at the little baby in his arms lovingly. He had doted on Augustine since he was a child. Therefore, his affection toward children passed on to his great-grandson.
Augustine let him bond with Zeph. He had relaxed a little compared to when he was on his way. It seemed that Zeph had a way of captivating people and was loved by everyone.
"Tell me, have you been well all these years? Have you been wronged?" Master Gilstone looked at his great-grandson and asked.
Zeph blinked a few times and then nodded, "Mommy is very good to me."
There was a hint of surprise in the eyes of Master Gilstone, 'Does this child like his mother that much?'
