“Are you sure you don’t want to spend some time with your girlfriends?” Benjamin asked.
“Grandma chased me out of the house and told me to be useful,” Ethan replied bitterly. “She said that they’re going to have some girl talk, so I’m not allowed to listen.”
Benjamin chuckled because he found this quite amusing.
He understood that his wife, Agnes, wanted to know more about her future in-laws.
She must also want to know how Ethan spent his year at Brynhildr Academy. The old lady knew that the girls would hold back and only tell her wonderful things about Ethan if he were around.
Although she liked hearing those stories, she also wanted to hear about his hardships in the academy.
Ethan would always put on a brave face and tell her that everything was fine. But she knew that under that facade, her grandson must have suffered as well.
She wanted to hear these stories, especially the one about how he managed to awaken his magic.
