Henry wavered as it was hard for him to resist the temptation of spending more time with the kids. Just then, Fifi flew toward him and squawked, “Stay! Stay!”
“See, now even Fifi wants you to stay!” Ellie beckoned to Fifi. “Fifi, come here. Call Great-grandpa!”
Fifi repeated after Ellie, “Great-grandpa! Great-grandpa!”
“Haha!” Henry gave a hearty laugh. “Fine, I’ll stay for dinner.”
Having forgotten that she was holding Fifi in her arms, Ellie raised her hands in the air and cheered, “Hooray!”
As a result, Fifi fell into Henry’s arms. Its head was spinning as it rolled its eyes, squawking, “I’m drunk! I’m drunk!”
“Hahaha…”
All of them burst into gales of laughter, amused by Fifi’s cute reaction.
As for Zachary, the man was smiling like a Cheshire cat. He knew his grandpa couldn’t say no to the kids.
Soon after, Ben hurried to the kitchen to have Mrs. Rawlston prepare some of Henry’s favorite dishes.
Mrs. Rawlston whispered at him, “I’ve already had them on the menu. Mr. Zachary told me Mr. Nacht would stay for dinner.”
Ben gave his forehead a slap. “Ah, I should be more mindful next time.”
In the meantime, Zachary was talking to the kids, “You guys can play with great-grandpa first. Dinner will be ready in half an hour.”
The kids answered, “Okay, daddy!”
Robbie was thoughtful enough to say, “Daddy, you and mommy can get changed and get some rest before we have dinner.”
“That’s right! Mommy looks tired.” Ellie blew her mother a kiss. “Mommy, go get some rest.”
Jamie tilted his head and reminded, “Mommy, remember to eat the hot cross bunnies before they get cold.”
“I will.” Charlotte grabbed two hot cross bunnies before she went upstairs with Zachary.
Henry cast a glance at the two ascending the stairs. Then, he started playing with the kids in the living room. “Jamie, come, show me your martial arts moves. I’ve never seen them before.”
“Alright!”
Jamie held the hot cross bunnies with his teeth and then did a few flips. After that, he demonstrated some strikes and punches.
His moves were inch-perfect and swift, just like his father when he was young.
Feeling glad, Henry complimented, “Jamie, you’re really good at it.”
“Great-grandpa…” Jamie’s hot cross bunnies dropped the moment he opened his mouth. In the blink of an eye, Fifi took a plunge in the air and snatched the bun. Jamie immediately went after him, yelling, “Fifi! Give me back my hot cross bunny!”
Having learned from Jamie’s mistake, the clever Fifi knew it shouldn’t open its mouth. It flew around in the living room in circles before flying out of the window.
“You naughty Fifi!” Jamie ran out the door, hopping up and down to catch the parrot.
“Stop chasing Fifi!” Robbie called out from behind, “Jamie, come back!”
“Boys are indeed childish.” Ellie held her head high, pouting.
Hearing her remark, Henry, Spencer and the others burst into laughter.
Standing behind Henry, Spencer spoke up, “Oh, how wonderful it is to have the whole family gather around, spending some lovely family moments together!”
Henry’s laughter died away after hearing Spencer’s words. For a moment, he seemed to be deep in his thought. After some time, he returned to his senses and then beckoned Robbie over. “Robbie, show me your software.”
Robbie brought his tablet and clicked into the software he designed. “Great-grandpa, this software is specifically for kids under the age of six. Once the parents save their kids’ fingerprints, they can easily track their location. If a kid gets lost, or if there are any emergencies, the system will immediately issue an alert and send the kid’s location to the parents’ device.”
