Hostility

The deep baritone voice frightened her so much that she almost wanted to hideaway. Turning around, Edith saw her grandfather's silhouette a few steps away from them. 

Their gaze met and Mike Qian walked over to his granddaughter with a stern look on his face.

At this moment, Edith thought that she was going to faint from too much excitement. The look on her grandfather's face was so scary.

She was aware that her grandfather was not at home when she saw that the door was locked. For the first time, Edith was not mad that her grandfather was not at home to greet her.

After all, this time, she had gone back to Z Town with Neil and Hazel. Knowing her grandfather's suspicious nature that won't lose to the ancient time's emperor, Edith was naturally scared that her grandfather might figure out something. Her grandfather knew her so well that it was hard for her to lie to him.
