**The Billionaire’s Last Obsession Series 466**
**Chapter 466: Madison’s Arrival**
At that moment, a sleek car glided to a halt outside the grand estate, its polished surface gleaming in the afternoon sun.
A graceful figure emerged, her movements fluid and lively. Spotting the familiar faces in the courtyard, she called out sweetly, “Grandpa! Eric!” Her voice rang with warmth, a melody that danced through the air.
Merrick’s expression darkened for a fleeting instant as he recognized the woman stepping out of the vehicle; a flicker of apprehension crossed his features. But just as quickly, he masked his feelings with a welcoming smile. “Audrey, what a delightful surprise! What brings you to Dracovia?”
Audrey dashed towards him, her face radiant with joy. She linked her arm through his, her playful tone infectious as she whined, “Of course I missed you! That’s why I persuaded Mom to bring me along.”
Just then, Madison gracefully stepped out of the car, a warm smile illuminating her face. “That’s right, Merrick. The moment this girl discovered that you and Eric were in Dracovia, she wouldn’t stop nagging me. I finally caved in to her persistence, and honestly, I wanted to see you too, Dad.”
Merrick’s lips curled into a faint smile, touched by her thoughtfulness. “That’s very considerate of you.” He turned to the butler standing nearby. “Please take Madison and Audrey’s luggage to the rear main house.”
Madison hesitated for a moment, then forced a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes. “Oh, that won’t be necessary. I’d much prefer to stay in the same house as you, Dad.”
Audrey chimed in eagerly, “Me too, Grandpa! Mom and I should definitely stay with you and Eric.”
Eric, ever the practical one, quickly added, “You know how it is—Grandfather is getting older. Even the slightest noise seems to wear him out these days.”
Madison’s expression tightened for a brief moment, but she swiftly masked it with a smile. “All right then.” She handed her suitcase to the butler, feeling a mix of emotions swirling within her.
Together, they made their way into the main estate, the air filled with the scent of polished wood and fresh flowers. Eric assisted Merrick into the living room, gently easing him onto the plush sofa that had seen countless family gatherings over the years.
“Are things settled back in Murica?” Merrick inquired, his voice tinged with concern.
Madison’s smile brightened as she replied, “Work will never take precedence over spending time with you. Besides, Audrey has never had the chance to visit Dracovia; I thought it would be a wonderful opportunity for her. I must admit, the changes in Kingston were quite astonishing on our drive here.”
Merrick nodded, his eyes reflecting the wisdom of years gone by. “Then take her around and show her the sights properly.”
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Merrick’s fatigue became apparent, prompting him to dismiss them gently.
Once in the solitude of his study, he picked up the phone, a sense of urgency guiding his fingers as he dialed a number.
Meanwhile, inside the house…
