CHAPTER 406

The Moran Residence.

Timothy was overjoyed, and his eyes welled up with tears as he saw Susan bring Adie and Abby home.

"Kids, this is the grandpa I mentioned. He's the Moran family member who likes your mother the most and who your father fears the most." Susan gladly introduced Timothy to the children. After interacting with them for a few days, she had come to understand their thought process – anyone friendly to Joanna and hostile to Ace was an ally.

She had become their ally by criticizing Ace on occasion, and she hoped that by introducing Timothy in such a way, the children would warm to him.

To Susan's delight, her plan worked. Adie, who was usually cautious, approached Timothy on his own.

He raised his head and looked at Timothy's wrinkled face, then gently hooked his finger around the old man's wrinkled finger and murmured, "Great-grandpa, I can tell you're a good person. Thank you for looking after my mother."
