Baby Robbie said, “Forget it. I’ll not make it hard for you if you’re reluctant to tell me. I wish you the sweetest dream tonight, Granny.”
Baby Robbie left with a smile after uttering these words.
Baby Zetty was a little confused. Baby Robbie had spared no effort to prepare those pills. Was it not to interrogate her as to why Daddy was kind to her? Why did he give up so easily?
Baby Zetty pondered over it and could not seem to figure out the answer. Later, she thought that perhaps it was due to Baby Robbie’s kind nature that he did not want to force her to do things against her will.
Hence, she proceeded to put her guard down.
After Finn had his dinner in the evening, he remembered Baby Robbie’s instructions and hurried over to look for Baby Zetty.
It was just that there was a slight moment of hesitation before Finn entered. Ultimately, his kindness prevailed. He thought that there was no need to be afraid of gossip as he would not be doing anything wrong. Hence, he knocked on the door.
“Granny Winter.”
Inside, Baby Zetty was dumbstruck to hear Finn’s voice.
She blankly mumbled out, “Come in.”
Finn entered and saw that Baby Zetty was sorting out the medicinal materials, looking extremely busy. He immediately smoothed out his knitted brows.
“You’ve been very busy these days, Granny. Let me help you out,” said Finn while walking in.
Baby Zetty looked at the moonlight outside and then back at Finn, who was standing in front of her. She kept feeling that there was something peculiar with Finn’s arrival, but when she opened her mouth, she said something that made her utterly gobsmacked.
“That’s great. Then you should stay here for the night. I need you here.”
Baby Zetty covered her mouth, and it suddenly dawned on her how mysteriously effective the pills that Baby Robbie gave her were.
Baby Zetty said, “I don’t like you calling me ‘Granny’. It has nothing to do with Sir Ares, but it’s because I like you. Do you understand?”
Finn stared at Baby Zetty in a daze. The expression on his face showed that he was deep in thought. Even so, he smiled unaffectedly and said, “Granny, it’s an honor that you like me.”
Baby Zetty could not suppress the emotional rush surging within and immediately grabbed Finn’s hand while saying sternly, “Finn, I love you.”
Finn was so startled that all of the medicinal materials in his hands fell to the ground as he stood up straight. His handsome face was turning pale.
“Granny, I deeply respect you as a person with good moral standing, but I didn’t expect you to be so frivolous in private. I regarded you as a friend despite our age difference, but you instead have the kind of idea that you shouldn’t be having for me. How could you—”
Baby Zetty bravely walked toward him and grabbed his hands to place them on her face, asking, “If I were Baby Zetty, would you mind my age and appearance?”
Finn vigorously flung her hand off and said, “But you’re not Baby Zetty, so there’s no need for me to think about the answer to that question.”
