Henry wavered as it was hard for him to resist the temptation of spending more time with the kids. Just then, Fifi flew toward him and squawked, “Stay! Stay!”
“See, now even Fifi wants you to stay!” Ellie beckoned to Fifi. “Fifi, come here. Call Great-grandpa!”
Fifi repeated after Ellie, “Great-grandpa! Great-grandpa!”
“Haha!” Henry gave a hearty laugh. “Fine, I'll stay for dinner.”
Having forgotten that she was holding Fifi in her arms, Ellie raised her hands in the air and cheered, “Hooray!”
As a result, Fifi fell into Henry's arms. Its head was spinning as it rolled its eyes, squawking, “I'm drunk! I'm drunk!”
“Hahaha...”
All of them burst into gales of laughter, amused by Fifi's cute reaction.
As for Zachary, the man was smiling like a Cheshire cat. He knew his grandpa couldn't say no to the kids.
Soon after, Ben hurried to the kitchen to have Mrs. Rawlston prepare some of Henry's favorite dishes.
Mrs. Rawlston whispered at him, “I've already had them on the menu. Mr. Zachary told me Mr. Nacht would stay for dinner.”
Ben gave his forehead a slap. “Ah, I should be more mindful next time.”
In the meantime, Zachary was talking to the kids, “You guys can play with great-grandpa first. Dinner will be ready in half an hour.”
The kids answered, “Okay, daddy!”
Robbie was thoughtful enough to say, “Daddy, you and mommy can get changed and get some rest before we have dinner.”
“That's right! Mommy looks tired.” Ellie blew her mother a kiss. “Mommy, go get some rest.”
Jamie tilted his head and reminded, “Mommy, remember to eat the hot cross bunnies before they get cold.”
