It was Olivia's turn to be shocked. "Because of what happened tonight?"
"It's not just this incident. I've given her too many chances. Since you're my granddaughter, I won't allow you to drift aimlessly away from home.
"Come home and become part of the family, Olivia."
"Grandpa, I… I don't think I'm ready for that yet."
"What's there to think about? We're related by blood. I looked into the Fordham family a few years ago. But I thought you were Jeff's biological father. That's why I didn't probe further.
"We've been separated for so many years. Please give me the chance to make it up to you, okay?"
Mason pleaded with Olivia in a humble tone.
"Don't you want to know about your grandmother and me? Come back with me, and I'll tell you everything."
Mason didn't give her any chance to turn him down.
"If your grandma knew you've been wandering in the world alone, she would feel bad for you, too."
Olivia had always yearned for family. She didn't have any retorts to Mason's words.
"Look, I'm not in the best of health. You've been telling me not to stay up late. It's getting late, and I haven't taken my meds yet. I'll just stay here with you and waste time …"
Olivia sighed. "Alright, you win, Grandpa."
Mason held her hand. "Good girl. Come home with Grandpa."
Olivia looked at their hands as tears welled up in her eyes.
The man who always used to bring her home had already passed. If Jeff was watching over her from above, he would be happy to see that she had found her real family, right?
Ethan quickly stood up when he saw that Olivia was leaving.
Mason knew that a lot of Olivia's suffering in the past was caused by Ethan.
