However, Justin Battleson didn’t see Charlotte Thompson’s expression, and he had no desire to continue chatting about the topics Leon Battleson brought up.
Seeing this, Charlotte didn’t want to say more. Just as she was about to get up and rest, she suddenly rembered sothing and said to Justin:
"Oh right, I almost forgot. Do you have ti tomorrow?"
Justin thought for a mont in response to Charlotte’s inquiry: "Why? Is there sothing planned?"
"Not really."
Saying that, Charlotte sat down next to Justin, "Fifth Brother isn’t taking the kids to the hospital, is he? He told that our grandfather wants to see you."
Actually, when Charlotte first heard this news from Jas Thompson, she was a bit taken aback.
Although Mr. Thompson had already acknowledged Charlotte’s relationship with Justin, he always maintained a lukewarm attitude towards Justin.
Of course, his attitude has improved a lot compared to before.
But this was the first ti Mr. Thompson proactively expressed his desire to et Justin.
"Your grandfather has returned?" Justin inquired.
Although Charlotte’s brothers are currently in Druarus, most of the Thompson family’s power is still in Ashton, and there were so recent matters requiring attention, prompting Mr. Thompson to return to Ashton personally.
Therefore, when Charlotte last sent the kids to the Thompson’s, they didn’t get to see Mr. Thompson.
"Big Brother ntioned that the issues in Ashton should have been resolved." Charlotte nodded.
"I have a eting tomorrow afternoon, but it will be over quickly. How about I go to the Thompson Family with you then?" Justin nodded towards Charlotte.
"In that case, I’ll take the kids back first tomorrow. You can co directly."
Actually, Charlotte returning early would allow her to make so preparations, perhaps finding out what Mr. Thompson wanted with Justin.
Justin naturally had no objections to Charlotte’s suggestion and agreed with a nod.
"Alright, I’ll co find you tomorrow."
...
The next day, after Charlotte was ready, she took the kids back to the Thompson Family.
The children, who hadn’t seen Mr. Thompson for a long ti, were very happy and even prepared so gifts for him.
When Charlotte and the kids arrived at the Thompson’s, Mr. Thompson was already standing far outside the villa, clearly welcoming the children’s arrival.
"Great-Grandpa!"
Hank Thompson hurriedly jumped out of the car and ran towards the old gentleman. His lively and cheerful nature made him Mr. Thompson’s favorite.
But this ti, Mr. Thompson didn’t reach out to greet Hank as usual. Instead, he stood with his cane, even coughing with a sowhat serious expression.
His actions not only frightened Hank but also left the other children stunned in place.
"So you all still rember this Great-Grandpa," Mr. Thompson said seriously.
Although Mr. Thompson’s tone carried a hint of reproach, there wasn’t any sign of anger on his face. Clearly, he was intentionally teasing the kids.
Always perceptive, Jack Thompson quickly stepped forward to hold Mr. Thompson’s hand.
"Great-Grandpa, we missed you so much while you were in Ashton. Now that you’re back, we couldn’t wait to see you."
