Chapter 246: 246. Markus leaving tomorrow

"Do you plan to keep standing there or join us for dinner?" Grandpa said, though his tone was reprimanding, anyone could tell how much he doted on Markus.

Markus instantly cheered up, even though he tried to show a poker face as if he couldn't care less whether his grandparents asked for him or not.

He walked in slow steps towards grandpa, before instantly hooking his arm with grandpa's like a small kid.

"Look at you. Being so pathetically clingy! Go away." Grandpa said, trying to free himself from Markus's grip and shoo him away, but ultimately stopped, liking it a little.

The dinner went on with usual rambling, the Evans mansion being so lively after many days.

"Where is mother?" Kizy asked, remembering that Mary should be off work by now.

"She is working overtime for their recent project. She won't be joining us today." Grandma replied.

"Mother is truly dedicated to her work. I admire her a lot!" Kizy said in a sincere tone.
