Hearing about his son, Isaac suddenly remembered the phone call he had received last night from Bella’s father.
This made him curious because they rarely called him. Moreover, they said a significant family matter needed his help to resolve.
Sigh!
What a bunch of foolish, ignorant kids. They thought he was so ancient they could fool him easily.
Isaac knew all his children inside and out and all too well. They were all too greedy for money and power. He knew exactly what they wanted him to resolve; it must be company matters, the Donovan Group.
He was so exhausted thinking about keeping the Donovan Group growing that he stepped down from company management many years ago. And, because he didn’t want his children to fight over his property, he divided one-third of his wealth among his children evenly even though he was still healthy and vigorous.
The remaining two-thirds are a few company shares and properties he keeps for one person he most cares for and admires. When he dies, all those remaining will go to Bella and Dax. He will never give anything more to his children.
However, even though Isaac wanted to ignore his children and the company matter, this question, "What matters make them dare to call me?" still lingers in his mind.
’Should I return to East City?’ Isaac feels tempted to return a few days to check.
...
"Ha ha ha… I knew that. You must be having a hard time caring for all your sons, right?"
Lewis remained silent.
"It’s okay, my friend. We’re older now. We don’t need to interfere in their affairs. Let’s just enjoy the rest of our lives," Lewis said when he saw Isaac quiet.
Lewis Sinclair could guess what was distracting his best friend now because he felt the same way. He only has one son, William Sinclair, but unfortunately, his son loves his wife so much that he only obeys what his wife wants.
Isaac didn’t bother responding to Lewis’s words. He was still drawn to what his son, Lucas, told him on the phone. The more he thought about it, the more curious he became about what exactly happened there.
...
Before long,
Bella and the others finally joined the elders. She sat across from them.
She was curious and couldn’t wait to ask, "Grandfather, why did you decide to return to the Capital today?" she saw them in return before continuing her words. "Didn’t we already plan to get back together next Sunday?"
Isaac answered before Lewis could say something.
"My dear Bella, you and Tristan have just reunited. You need to spend more time with him, right? You are both still young, and you need more time alone..." Isaac clears his throat before continuing. "Well, you know what I mean, right?" he smiles when he sees his granddaughter’s cheeks slowly redden.
Bella wanted to remind her Grandpa that Dax was with them. But before she could say anything, her Grandpa continued his words.
"Besides, sleeping in a new place is difficult for older people like us. We better return to the capital and rest in our house."
Bella was rendered speechless.
"Jeez! Grandpa... Is there a better reason than that?" Bella wanted to ask but held it in when she saw Lewis Sinclair wishing to say something.
"Yes, yes... what Isaac said is true. We old people need to sleep in our beds." Lewis smiled at Bella and turned his gaze to Tristan.
