Henry was waiting for them in the living hall when they reached home. He, too, flew all the way from the M Nation and prepared gifts for the triplets.
“Great-grandpa!” Jamie and Ellie ran toward Henry as they were thrilled to see him in the house.
Robbie, on the other hand, responded more calmly.
“Hey!” Henry's lips curled into a smile upon seeing the children.
Henry's health had deteriorated over the last two years. At the age of ninety-eight, he was now fully wheelchair-bound. He should be grateful that he was still able to enjoy the company of his great-grandchildren at this age.
“When did you come back, Great-grandpa?” Ellie immediately kneeled beside Henry and massaged his leg.
“Why don't you stay with us since you've not been feeling well lately? We'll be here to take care of you,” Jamie massaged his shoulders and said.
Robbie sat beside them for a moment and said icily, “I have to go upstairs to finish some work now, Great-grandpa.”
Without hesitation, he went upstairs right away.
Henry's expression turned grim upon seeing how cold Robbie was.
Jamie and Ellie might not know the truth, but Robbie knew that their mother left because of Henry.
Robbie knew Henry treated them well, but he could not forgive him for forcing their mother to leave the family. At the same time, there was nothing much he could do because he was just a child.
Hence, being emotionally distant was Robbie's only way to express his dismay.
“You didn't have to fly all the back for just a small occasion. Are you tired?” Zachary asked impassively.
He used to enjoy talking to Henry in the past but not anymore.
“They're in elementary school now. I should come back and celebrate their big day.” A sudden frown warped Henry's face. “I heard the Lindberg Corporation got their hands on the territorial waters of the South Sea?”
