Adrian felt embarrassed to bring up what happened back then as he stood at the door with a red face.
Seeing this, Layne snorted and said to Cheyenne, "He's too ashamed to tell the truth!"
The atmosphere between the two men became tense with a tendency towards violence.
Of course, it was only one-sided dislike from her grandfather towards her granduncle.
People began walking down the alley outside as they looked at the nice car parked in front of the Edwards mansion.
The onlookers cast envious and curious glances.
Cheyenne disliked being stared at by those onlookers, so she said to her grandfather, "Since Granduncle has come, let's go inside to talk. Grandfather, please don't be angry."
"Come on, Layne, I promise I'm here to talk about business this time!"
Reluctantly, Layne nodded in agreement.
Not three of them sat around a square table. Grandfather stared at Granduncle with his big eyes while the latter wore a sycophantic smile.
Cheyenne shifted her gaze between the two before deciding to quietly drink her tea.
"Adrian, tell us why you returned home."
"Layne, my family is here. Naturally I want to return home!" Adrian spoke with genuine emotion as tears glistened in his eyes. At that moment, Cheyenne believed him completely.
All things considered, Granduncle was just an ordinary old man with human feelings.
"What have you been doing over the past twenty years?" Layne asked, squinting his eyes.
"Layne, after I was kicked out of our home, I went to Spacoar with a businessman and started driving for him."
"Later on, the boss needed to go to Metshire for business and I followed along."
"Who knew that once we left, it would be twenty-five years before we returned."
He remembered when he left, his niece Selah was still in school.
In the blink of an eye, Selah had passed away and her daughter Cheyenne was already in her twenties.
Cheyenne was even more shocked!
Granduncle had been kicked out of his home!
Why?
But she couldn't show her emotions in front of him and quickly picked up a cup of tea.
She took a sip and suppressed her doubts.
