Bonnie felt a substantial sense of warmth in her chest, feeling the importance of Sigmund’s words. She said, “Thank you for being so considerate of me, Grandpa.”
Sigmund laughed heartily, saying, “There’s no need for such formalities. It’s getting late, and you must be hungry. Come one, let’s eat.”
“Okay, Grandpa.” Bonnie followed Sigmund and sat down. Immediately after, the housekeepers served the dishes while the duo chatted. Ivor even chimed in occasionally, creating a harmonious and pleasant atmosphere.
After the meal, Ivor told Floyd to bring the gifts to Sigmund. The older man was surprised, saying, “Oh my! You finally know how to be considerate and bring your grandpa gifts, Ivor?”
Ivor’s lips twitched. “Even though Bonnie bought these gifts, I’ve given you plenty over the years. You didn’t need to say that.”
Sigmund only heard the first part of Ivor’s sentence and ignored the latter half. The former said, “I knew my granddaughter-in-law was the best. I’d be overjoyed if you had half her filial piety, Ivor.”
Ivor was speechless.
‘Well, praising my future wife is equivalent to honoring me. I’ll stop overthinking it.’
Bonnie smiled as she helplessly watched Ivor and Sigmund banter. Even so, she enjoyed the warm-hearted atmosphere.
Ivor noticed Sigmund examining the supplements Bonnie had gifted him. Ivor asked, “Granpa, how are the wedding invitations going? Are they ready?”
“I prepared them long ago,” Sigmund responded before telling the butler, “Go to the innermost cabinet in my room and bring them the invitations.”
