Love in the Limelight novel Chapter 511

Listening to Healey, Matt couldn't help but tease him, "Oh man, you're telling me you're still up on all this hip stuff at your age?"

Healey replied, "My boy just got hitched last month. He and his missus went all the way to Ireland to tie the knot. I mean what's wrong with a good old-fashioned wedding back home? These kids nowadays make everything so complicated. The paperwork alone took an age. It's not like they couldn't get married right here."

"Well, they couldn't get married back home," Matt said, leaving Healey momentarily speechless.

After a few seconds, Healey gave Matt a solemn clap on the shoulder. "Look, buddy, you've got plenty of kids. Odds are one of them will make you a grandpa. Speaking of which, check out my grandson. Isn't he just the cutest? And, you know, my second son just had a little granddaughter. You should see her picture. She's absolutely adorable…"

The more Matt heard, the hotter under the collar he got. He glanced at Healey with annoyance and kicked his fishing rod in frustration. "Big deal, you've got grandkids? You don't have a daughter! I do have a daughter, and what's more, I've got a grandkid from her, too! Let me tell you, my granddaughter is so cute, a chubby little thing, and sharp as a tack! I..."

Before Matt could finish his sentence, his phone rang. It was a video call from Roman, and Matt immediately lit up his face. "Look at that, my dear grandson Roman's calling me. Does your grandson video-call you? I didn't think so. Hmph."

After a brief boast, Matt turned his attention to the video call.

Roman was sprawled out on the bed, looking pitiful. "Grandpa, I'm having a rough time."

"Poor thing? Who's messing with my favorite grandson?" Matt asked with concern.

"Who else but Elio," Roman pouted, hugging his phone close. "Elio's being a pest and got to go on a TV show with mom. He gets to spend all this time with her. Uncle Nathan gets to hang around her, too. But I only get to see mom during her breaks, and she's always so busy…"

At the sight of Roman's woebegone expression, Matt melted his heart. "Roman, my boy, one of these days your mom will take you on a family show, and then you can be with her every day."
