“Since you’re awake, let’s go inside. Don’t keep Grandpa waiting.” Bonnie exited the car and waited for Ivor.
He smiled faintly and got out, saying, “Honey, did you let me sleep because you were worried I was too tired?”
“Come on, let’s go inside,” Bonnie replied, not wanting to engage in that topic. She knew they would never go in if they kept talking.
Ivor shook his head and walked over. He took her hand and headed toward the old house. “All right, let’s go.”
Then, he looked back and told Floyd, “Bring the items from the trunk.”
“Right away, Mr. Ivor.” Floyd did as his boss said and chased after the couple.
When the couple entered, they saw Sigmund eagerly waiting at the door. When he saw his grandson and Bonnie, she smiled warmly and said, “You’re finally here! I’ve been waiting for a while now.”
Bonnie replied with a hint of exasperation, “You could have waited for us while sitting down, Grandpa. Since we promised to come, we’d show up.”
Sigmund laughed heartily, “Hahaha! It doesn’t matter. I was worried you’d be too busy to come, so I waited here. Seeing you brightens my day.”
His infectious smile caused Bonnie to smile, too. She said, “Let’s go inside. There’s no need to stand around here.”
