Could he reject his obedient granddaughter’s request?
The answer was no.
Ian’s lips twitched as he glared at Joel.
The news of Justin standing outside the door was reported to him by the butler when he came in. Cherry and Pete did not know at all.
During dinner, Cherry even looked at the door curiously and asked, “Why isn’t Daddy here yet?”
Ian said coldly, “He’s probably busy with work.”
Cherry was still a little unhappy. “Okay~”
Ian took the opportunity to brainwash her. “It’s most irresponsible of a parent to ignore the child when they’re busy. Let’s not like him anymore, okay?”
Cherry’s eyes widened when she heard this.
Then, she looked at Ian and retorted, “Grandpa, I can’t do that.”
Ian was curious. “Why?”
Cherry sighed. “Mommy has been busy sleeping since we were young. She’s even more irresponsible. At least Daddy spends twice as much time with me every day than Mommy does!”
Ian: “!!”
He had never seen the way Nora interacted with the two children. He did not expect that he would also have to bring his daughter into this.
At that time, he could only change the topic forcefully. “Yes, what I said just now was just a test for you. I didn’t expect our Cherry to be so smart. You actually passed Grandpa’s test.”
Cherry immediately looked up and smiled. Her big black eyes swept past Pete. “Pete, did you see that? Grandpa doesn’t like Daddy and wants to badmouth Daddy. I’m the best! He can’t even say anything about Daddy!”
Pete: “…”
He sighed silently. He kept wondering ever since Cherry came home, why had the tyrant and this grandfather, who was rumored to be very serious, become so childish?
Ian had been hiding it from Cherry and did not tell her.
Moreover, he did not feel guilty at all. How dare Justin secretly tell her not to like her Sponsor Grandpa?!
However, now that Cherry had heard Joel’s words, Ian could not stop her. Otherwise, wouldn’t he become a bad grandfather?
Ian could only say to the butler indignantly, “Invite him in.”
The butler glanced at Joel and left with a smile.
Joel was already the head of the Smiths now. After all, Ian had been on his deathbed in the past and had not cared about the family’s matters at all.
However, Ian’s wish was Joel’s command.
When everyone saw how respectful Joel was to Ian, they did not dare to disrespect Ian either.
Soon, Justin entered.
Wearing a black suit, he walked in steadily. After entering, he greeted Ian respectfully, “Uncle Ian.”
Ian snorted and looked at Joel. “Joel, the guest is here. Treat him well.”
He looked like he wanted to ignore him.
Justin rubbed his nose awkwardly and looked at Cherry.
Cherry had already run over excitedly and hugged his leg. “Daddy, why are you just getting here now?! Didn’t you agree to sleep here tonight? I’m still waiting for you to tuck me in!”
When she said this, Justin looked at Ian. When he saw Ian’s eyes flicker, he chuckled softly and said, “Yes, Daddy was busy with work.”
He did not expose Ian’s lie.
This made Ian feel a little better. Then, he saw Justin looking at him mischievously. “As for sleeping with you tonight…”
He drawled, his eyes questioning.
Ian coughed and looked at the butler. “Have you prepared the guest room?”
The butler held in his laughter. “I’ve already prepared it. It’s next to Miss Nora’s room. The room is very big and comfortable.”
