Zachary was about to have breakfast with the children when the sound of a car pulling up came to his ears. “Mr. Nacht is here!”
“This early?” asked Zachary, startled. He had no choice but to bring the children out to receive his grandfather.
The car door swung open. Spencer, with the help of a bodyguard, helped Henry out of the car and onto his wheelchair.
“Great-grandpa! Great-grandpa!” squealed the children.
They dashed towards him, calling out at the top of their lungs.
Henry smiled broadly at them. His mood was especially good. “Have you had your breakfast?”
“We are just about to have our breakfast,” said Ellie as she held out a boiled egg. “I just peeled this, great-grandpa. Try it please!”
“Mmm, delicious!” Henry said after a bite.
“It's just an ordinary egg. What's so delicious about that?” Zachary joked.
“Mind your own business,” said Henry fiercely as he glared at Zachary. “This was given to me by my beloved great-granddaughter.” He turned back to Ellie and stroked her hair. “Your braid is so pretty, Ellie!”
“Mrs. Berry did it for me,” said Ellie. She tugged at her braid happily. “This is the princess braid, like the one in the movies.”
“My little Ellie is a princess too!” Henry pinched Ellie's cheek affectionately.
“Great-grandpa, do I look good in this suit?” Jamie approached him to show off his new suit. “We are going for a wedding photoshoot later! That is why we are all dressed up.”
Henry was taken aback. He glared at Zachary ferociously. Cheeky rascal! He did not ask me for permission again! They're taking wedding pictures now?
