“I'm finished playing,” Lionel muttered, his mood thoroughly dampened by Kristian’s persistent evasiveness.
“Continue with your games if you wish. When Freya eventually chooses someone else, you'll have nothing but
regret.”
Kristian remained silent, instead preparing a cup of coffee and offering it to his grandfather.
His tranquil demeanor only intensified Lionel’s conflicting emotions of affection and irritation. No matter how
harshly he reprimanded him, Kristian never displayed anger and invariably found ways to appease him.
“What thoughts truly occupy that mind of yours?” Lionel finally inquired, surrendering to his conflicted feelings.
Kristian kept his inner reflections carefully concealed. “Nothing in particular.”
Lionel nearly choked on his coffee.
He examined Kristian’s composed expression for an extended moment before completely abandoning his efforts.
“Leave my presence. | can’t bear to look at you any longer.”
Kristian accepted the dismissal without protest and departed as instructed.
Liam remained elsewhere, so Kristian decided to verify the banquet arrangements at the hotel.
Although his father had likely managed everything competently, confirming the details would prevent any
unexpected complications.

At the hotel, Isaac was preparing to depart just as Kristian arrived. Upon seeing him, Isaac greeted him with a
knowing smirk. “Has your grandpa banished you from his sight?” Kristian found himself speechless.
Isaac placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. “Eventually, you'll grow accustomed to it.”
“You faced similar disfavor in your younger days,” Kristian retorted.
Whenever they encountered one another, their exchanges bristled with playful barbs, and Kristian invariably
emerged defeated. This occasion proved no different.

“I may have faced disapproval, but at least | provided him with a grandson,” Isaac remarked smoothly, his tone
carrying the craftiness of a seasoned fox. “What contribution have you made?”
Kristian countered, “Without my assistance, winning Mom's affection would have taken you considerably longer.”
“I appreciate your help, Kristian,” Isaac responded with an untroubled smile.
Kristian found himself unable to formulate a response.
The exchange felt as futile as attempting to punch a pillow.
“During your childhood, you exhibited such endearing qualities and possessed a natural talent for persuasion,”
Isaac observed, appraising him thoughtfully. “If regaining Freya's affection is your goal, perhaps revisiting those
childhood tactics might prove effective.”
“Childish,” Kristian responded tersely.
The memories evoked embarrassment.
