Kapitel 139: Ever green

Abi led Alex towards the table for five. Her dad and grandparents were all looking at them, although, their eyes were mainly on the man next to her. 

"Oh my, you're really here," Abi's grandma exclaimed as she slowly stood up and held the man's hand. 

Alex didn't really know how to react. It was like he had stepped into a whole other world, one that he knew nothing about. Why was this old woman acting all warm like this to a stranger like him?

"Okay, take your seats now, both of you," she told them before she also took her seat again. 

Abi sat on her grandfather's right and made Alex sit next to her. Her grandfather was the one sitting at the head of the table so Abi and her grandma seat across each other while Alex sat across her dad.
