Since Noah was going to the Grant Family Estate, Walker Grant had to be informed. Judith Pierce finally found an opportunity to go to the study and speak with her son.
She arrived at the study door and knocked.
KNOCK, KNOCK!
A moment later, the study door opened. Dylan Finch was all smiles. "Mrs. Grant."
Judith Pierce acknowledged him and walked inside. She saw Walker Grant sitting in a chair. Something had been playing on his computer, but he reached out and pressed a key, pausing it.
"Mom, did you need something?"
Judith Pierce said, "I’m planning to take Noah to the family estate for a few days. It’ll give him a chance to get to know your father better."
"Mm," Walker Grant grunted in acknowledgment, having no objection to the plan.
Judith Pierce looked at him, her heart aching. "Walker, you have to prioritize your health. Let other people handle the company’s business. You need to rest more."
Walker Grant nodded. "I know, Mom."
He said the words, but he showed no intention of getting up.
Judith Pierce sighed in resignation. As she turned to leave, she saw Dylan Finch and said, "You should come around less often. That way, Walker can get some actual rest."
"...Yes," Dylan Finch managed to say.
’This is so unfair!’
’Mr. Grant was the one who called me here!’
’But a mother worrying about her son’s health is perfectly understandable.’
Judith Pierce left with Noah soon after.
With two people missing from the dinner table that evening, the atmosphere wasn’t nearly as lively.
Fiona Linton couldn’t help but comment, "He’s such a good kid. Now that he’s gone, I actually miss him."
