My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1532

"Good, good, good..." In fact, Grandpa Kyle knew that Julien would be bringing Vanessa and Lawrie home, so he had already prepared some gifts beforehand and planned to give them out when Julien formally introduced them to him. "Vanessa, Lawrie, I'm very happy to finally meet you two. Make sure you two visit me more often, alright?"

When Vanessa heard Grandpa Kyle saying that Lawrie resembled Julien, Vanessa's gaze began to go back and forth on Julien and Lawrie's faces. To be honest, although she knew that Lawrie was Julien's child, she had never thought that the two of them looked that similar.

But when Grandpa Kyle mentioned it, Vanessa thought that they did look alike, as if they were carved from the same mold. Their eyes were of the same shape, both very attractive. Their faces, nose bridges, and right down to the shape of their ears resembled each other.

Apart from the fact that Julien was an adult and Lawrie was just a child, the two of them did look exactly the same.

Looking at this father and son, Vanessa immediately did a facepalm. They resembled each other so much but how did she not notice it at all? If she had realised it earlier, she wouldn't have to suffer so much over the years.

Grandpa Kyle was speaking to her, but Vanessa, this foolish girl, was still standing there, not uttering a word. Noticing that Vanessa was still in a trance, Julien raised his arm and gave Vanessa a gentle nudge. "Vanessa, this is my grandfather. Don't just stand there. Hurry up and greet him."

"Grandpa, nice to meet you!" Grandpa Kyle was an amiable old man. He had grey hair and wrinkled skin, but all of these could not hide his youthful spirit. Even now, it was not hard to tell that he was a handsome man.

"Yes, yes, yes... We have new additions to the Kyle family today. It's a great day worth celebration." Grandpa Kyle nodded repeatedly and smiled from ear to ear. "Vanessa, this is a gift that I've prepared for you. I hope you like it."

Vanessa accepted the gift with both hands and said, "Thank you, Grandpa!"

Then, Grandpa Kyle handed another gift to Lawrie. "Lawrie, this is a gift from me to you. I hope you will like it."

Lawrie imitated Vanessa and reached out his hands to accept the gift. "Thank you, greatgrandfather!"

Grandpa Kyle stroked Lawrie's head and said, "My children are all grown up! And I'm indeed old now! Time really waits for no one, but I have no complaints. If I am old, so be it. After all, this is the path everyone must eventually go through."

As Grandpa Kyle spoke, tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes. It turned out that he was reminded of his late wife again. He spoke to her silently in his heart, "Rana, are you seeing this? Not only is Jayden married, Julien, our youngest grandson is married as well and he even has a son now. If only you were here with me to watch them build up their families. But you are too cruel to me. You left me here by myself and went to a place so far away. I've been waiting for you in my dreams all these years, but you're not willing to see me."

Since Rena Brown's death, Grandpa Kyle's health had been deteriorating. However, he managed to hang on up till this day.

At this moment, he realised that all his children and grandchildren had their own families. Now that everyone was doing so well in life, Grandpa Kyle felt every burden in his heart had melted away. He heaved a sigh of relief and felt like his body was giving way.

"What's wrong, Grandpa?" Julien reacted in time and caught Grandpa Kyle from falling to the ground. "Are you feeling unwell?"

Grandpa Kyle shook his head. "No, Julien. I just missed your grandmother too much out of a sudden so I really want to go keep her company in the afterlife. Your grandmother had been in poor health since she was young, so she needs someone by her side to take care of her. I haven't been taking care of her in the past few years, so I was wondering how she is doing."

"Grandpa Kyle..."

Julien wanted to say that there was no such thing as the afterlife. Death was like a flame going out, once it was gone, it would be gone forever. However, Julien could not say it out loud. His grandfather missed his grandmother a lot, and she was the person he was most reluctant to leave behind. Unfortunately, she left the world before him.
