Chapter 659 Video-Call
Madalyn always gave whatever her great–grandchildren requested. She quickly nodded and broke out in an avuncular smile. “Of course, but will it disturb your good friend at this time of day?”
“It won’t. Blake must be still awake at this hour,” Ada said at once.
When Gilbert heard Blake’s name, his eyes lit up. He quietly put down his cutlery and said to Andrew and Ada, “If you want to video – call your friend, go to the couch. Don’t disturb everyone’s dinner.”
.
“Alas, Gilbert, don’t be so hard on them,” Madalyn said, smiling even more indulgently at the children. “It is okay right here. It won’t interfere with everyone’s dinner.”
“You can’t keep spoiling them like this. You will spoil them,” Gilbert said, getting up and saying to Andrew and Ada, “Come on, I will take you two over to the couch.”
“Okay.” The two nodded their heads, held Gilbert’s hand, one on the left and the other on the right, and walked toward the couch.
Madalyn looked on as they went and said to George,
Gilbert is too strict with the children. I always spoiled him when he was a kid, yet here you see, he wasn’t spoiled.”
“Ha–ha, you should let Mr. Kooper be. He must have his reasons for being so strict.”
“Hmph, my great–grandchildren are so cute. I’m going to spoil them.”
Gilbert took Andrew and Ada to the couch and sat himself down on the couch.
Ada looked at him in puzzlement. “Aren’t you eating, Daddy?”
“I’m full.”
“Didn’t we just start dinner? I haven’t even seen you eat anything.”
“I’m not hungry.” Gilbert stoked Ada’s head and looked over at Andrew. “Don’t you want to video–call your best friend? Hurry up.”

“Daddy, why are you in a bigger hurry than me?” Andrew asked.
“I’m not. I’m trying to get you guys to hurry up, finish your video call and then continue your dinner.”
