Chapter 173 Grandfather and Granddaughter Head for Gotham Together (2)
"Uh? What's wrong, Grandpa White? Why are you also sad? Do you need tissues?" Emily asked Max with confusion. She knew Max because Iwan had introduced him to her before. Max was an old man, about the same age as Iwan's father-in-law. That was why Emily called him grandpa.
Then Evan also looked at him with confusion and asked, "What's wrong with you, Mr. White? You don't feel well?"
Max finally came back to his senses. He shook his head and said, "Haha, no, Mr. Cliff. I'm sighing with emotions! You just came to Cleveque, but you met the daughter of another God of War fighting in the External Regions for the Dragon Kingdom. I think this is fate. This is really amazing!"
Evan nodded and said, "Yes. Then, could you tell me about that God of War, Mr. White?"
Max shook his head with quite mixed feelings and said, "Mr. Cliff, that one is going to Gotham to report on his work these days. Now the Military Headquarters has made you the seventh executive, and that one is the seventh executive. You two... will meet in a few days..." As he spoke, Max looked at Evan with more mixed feelings. Now he didn't dare to reveal a few things, or those few people of the Dragon Kingdom in the know didn't dare to expose what had happened in those days. Now, looking at Emily, he thought God would help... help this old man!
Evan nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, fine, I'll wait a few days."
Seeing that Evan did not press the question, Max squatted on his heels, red-eyed, and said to Emily with a smile, "Emily, you're a good child! You can't always say 'old grandpa'! That sounds so impolite, right?"
"Um... then what should I say? Also call him grandpa?" Emily tilted her head to think, but was a little confused.
Max inhaled deeply before he smiled and said to her, "No, you already call me grandpa, so you should call Mr. Cliff...um... um... great-grandpa... great-grandpa..."
After thinking for a moment, Emily nodded and said, "Okay, I'll call him great-grandpa then."
Then she looked at Evan and called, "Great-grandpa."
Evan froze. His heart trembled when he heard Emily call him that, but he didn't know why. But then he knew what was going on. He nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, good child, but Great-grandpa doesn't have anything to give you as a present. Now I only have a bullet casing. I'll give it to you."
As he spoke, Evan took a bullet casing out of his pocket and handed it to Emily. This was the one he had picked up from the battlefield of the External Regions upon leaving. He had wanted to remind him of the past with it, but he wanted to give it to Emily at the moment. And he didn't know why.
"Oh, what a beautiful bullet casing! Thank you, great-grandpa... but, but Mom says Emily can't accept others' gifts as she wishes." Emily liked the bullet casing in Evan's hand very much, but she didn't dare to take it.
"Emily! Emily! What are you doing?" At this point, the stunning Jayna, who was wearing a white suit and white high-heeled shoes, walked over. She had checked the contract with Lucas for some time. After she sighed her name and returned to her car, she didn't see Emily. So worried, she began looking for her and came here.
Seeing Jayna walking over, Emily pointed at Evan and said, "Mom, I'm chatting with this great-grandpa! Mom, the great-grandpa wants to give me a bullet casing. Can I accept it? I like it very much."
"Miss Brown, don't worry. It's fine. This... this senior has just come back from the overseas battlefield. He is Mr. Cliff, a God of War. Before returning to Gotham, he wants to see what Cleveque and the top group company in the city are like. Just now, he shed tears in sadness, and Emily came over to console him," Max immediately explained to Jayna.
After hearing that, Jayna knew what had happened. She stroked Emily's head and said with a smile, "Oh, you've done something great, Emily. You're good, but you'll have to report to Mom before you do such things in the future! Otherwise, Mom and Dad would be worried."
Emily nodded hard, then looked at the bullet casing in Evan's hand with a pitiful look. Jayna nodded with a smile and said, "Take it. Your great-grandpa's gift to you..." Jayna thought the words "great-grandpa" sounded a little awkward, but she didn't think that much.
Emily then took it, and Jayna said to Evan with a smile, "Thank you, Grandpa... Grandpa Cliff..." In the end, Jayna chose to call Evan grandpa because Emily called him great-grandpa.
Evan smiled. To be honest, the moment he saw Jayna, he was impressed. He felt that Jayna had a kind of unspeakable temperament, a very, very good temperament. At first glance, he knew she was a very good woman. Now he was more curious about Emily's father and Jayna's husband.
As she smiled, Jayna said to Max and Evan, "Then, Uncle White, Grandpa Cliff, you keep chatting. I'm going back with Emily. Her dad has just called me, asking us to go home now!"
"Emily, say goodbye to Grandpa White and Great-grandpa," Jayna then said to Emily.
"Goodbye, Grandpa White. Goodbye, Great-grandpa. Great-grandpa, when I arrive in Gotham, I'll go play with you." She was a little unwilling to part with Evan, but she said goodbye. Yet, she didn't know why she was unwilling.
Evan was also a little unwilling. He waved at Emily and said, "Okay, Great-grandpa will be waiting for you then! ... and Great-grandpa will introduce a little friend to you. The child is the same age as you. The child is also a girl."
Emily nodded happily before she left with Jayna. After they left, Max fell silent. In his heart, he had two words for Evan and Emily's chance meeting today: God's will!
