Chapter 22
Daisie turned her head to look at him. “We, too, have also seen a man who looks a lot like us.”
“Oh?” Nolan’s father was just about to pose his question when he heard the loud greeting of the bodyguard standing by the garden. “Good day, Mr. Goldmann.”
Nolan marched right into the pavilion. He glanced at the two children sitting next to his old man and finally said, “Dad, how could you bring these children here without asking?”
“And why can‘t I? These children look just like you, so I invited them over to be my guests. Is there a problem?”
Nolan‘s father patted Daisie’s head, then gave each of the children a slice of frosted cake.“ Here, have a bite. This is the best frosted cake in town.”
“Thank you, Grandpa!”
The two kids took the cake offered to them. With a loud nom, Daisie held the cake in her palm, unable to wait a moment longer, and took a huge bite.
Nolan felt helpless. He had not expected his father to bring them all the way here just because of a photo he saw.
“Wait here, you two munchkins. Grandpa will be back real soon.”
As soon as Nolan’s father finished speaking, he got up and faced Nolan. “Come with me.”
Watching them walk off, Daisie turned to face Waylon. “Is this man really our grandpa? From the looks of it, he seems to like us very much.”
“Mm–hmm, as long as Grandpa likes us enough, we’ll be able to acknowledge our daddy and kidnap him home with us.“ Daisie nodded in agreement. Meanwhile, in the study…
“Dad, they really are unrelated to me. You can’t just bring the kids over just because they resemble me. If their parents start to worry about them,”
Before Nolan could finish speaking, his father interrupted him. “What are you panicking for? I couldn‘t care less about whether they are yours. What matters is that I like those kids.”
Sitting behind the desk, he looked at Nolan. “You’re not getting any younger either. If you had gotten married sooner, your kids would’ve been their age by now.”
