Chapter 779: Fighting Over Him?

Day Eighty-One…

~~*****~~

"Hanabi, could you please excuse my grandson? I'll just talk to him alone." Arthur asked Hanabi's permission to talk to Alexander privately. 

"Oh, It's okay, Sir. I don't mind," Hanabi responded politely.

"Thanks, dear. Please make yourself comfortable and enjoy the banquet." After saying those words to Hanabi, Arthur gave his grandson a meaningful look, gesturing for him to follow him.

Alexander could only sigh deeply before rising from his seat, trailing his grandpa as he guided him to the veranda. Hanabi just enjoyed the food while waiting for Alexander's return.

Alexander felt the pressure when his grandpa gave him a scrutinizing look.

"Grandpa, don't give me such a look. Spill it out now. What do you wanna talk to me about?"

"Ahem," Old Man Arthur cleared his throat first. "You know the main reason why I organized this gathering, don't you?"
