Only Sherman and Kingsley's grandfather were left in the room. The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Sherman was not good at warming up the atmosphere. She smiled lightly and poured a glass of warm water for the old man.
Kingsley's grandpa picked up the glass and took a few sips. A few minutes later, Kingsley pushed open the door and came back. His hair was a little messy.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Are you afraid I will scare her?" The old man grunted. How could his grandson's intention escape his eyes?
"That's possible..." Kingsley raised an eyebrow. He handed the gift to Sherman. He was curious about the gift she had prepared.
"Mr. Wright, I don't know what you like. My grandfather used to like it. I hope you will like it, too." Sherman handed the gift to Kingsley's grandpa.
The old man took the gift. He unwrapped the gift on the spot. It was a pair of table tennis bats.
The old man was slightly stunned, and Kingsley chuckled. He couldn't help himself but lean over and kiss Sherman, "You're so amazing."
Sherman blushed. She pushed him away. She was trying to give the old man a good impression, but what was Kingsley doing, acting so flirtatious?
The old man frowned, but he ignored them. He stared a t the table tennis bats.
"Do you like it, Grandpa?" Kingsley straightened his collar and asked, "If you don't like it, you can give it to me. Although we have been together for so long, she has never given me a gift. I feel jealous now.'
The old man glanced at him and swung the bat." Could you tell me why you give me the table tennis bats?"
"Table tennis is an interesting sport. It's fun. It's easy and relaxing. It helps you get a full workout. It's of the proper amount of exercise. It's good for elder people. It works your body, your mind, your reflexes, your agility, your limbs’ coordination, and your brain. And most importantly, I can play with you." Sherman said i n one breath.
Instantly, the old man's eyes widened and sparkled," It's good. I like it. Tell me when we're going to play together."
The old man was hale and hearty. And he loved sports.
