His slender fingers tapping on the water glass, hearing his grandfather's words, Kinsley smiled lightly, "If Grandma heard what you just said, I wonder if she will come to you tonight, though she has left us s o many years."
The old man slapped the table. He glared at Kingsley with a solemn look.
"I love Sherman. I'm crazy about her. And she's pregnant with my baby. It's such a wonderful feeling t o have a child with the woman I love..." Slowly, Kinsley said. And he seemed to recall something, a gentle smile in his eyes.
The old man was stunned. Then he caught the point," Wait for a second! She's carrying your child? That woman is pregnant?"
"Yes. It's been almost two months..." Kingsley reassured him.
"Now things are getting complicated. It's not good. I never like to deal with these intractable things. Don't bother me with these troubles in the future." The old man felt a headache. However, in the next second, he asked in a light tone, "When can I meet her?"
"I don't know yet. But I will arrange it soon." The smile on his lips grew brighter.
"I'm getting older and older. I'm haggard and dying. I can't even take care of myself, let alone mind your business. Do you guys have to watch me die from tackling these family troubles?" The old man snapped loudly as if he was outraged by others' disturbance. In the end, he added, "About Merlin, you must take care o f it with dedication. Except for certain things, give her whatever she wants. After all, we owe it to her. I want t o give her what she wants, but I'm helpless."
His grandson was thirty-four, about to be forty. God bless him! He finally had a child. Of course, they must keep the baby.
"Surely."
The old man took a sip of water, "Merlin is a good girl, and she will understand. I'm sure she won't be too hard on you. Have you told your parents about the child?"
Kinsley shook his head, "I don't plan to tell them for the present."
"Why?" The old man was confused. His grandson had always been thoughtful. He couldn't figure out what was going on in his mind.
