“How are you?” he asked again and then stared at me. I glance at my mother, and she’s waiting for me to give her father a response.
“I’m doing good.” I almost stuttered for the first word, but I managed. “How about you?” I added when my grandfather’s eyes were asking for more. His wrinkled lips suddenly formed a smile, and it gave me chills.
I shuddered quickly when he was about to reach for my cheeks.
“I see. I’m also great.” my grandfather said as he withdrew his hands from touching me. The smile disappeared from his face, but I quickly averted my gaze and looked at my mother. “If you don’t want to talk to me, I won’t force you,” he said as he tilted for me to pass.
“I’ll just go to my room, mother.” after my mother nodded, I immediately took my steps out from their s

I gave him a stingy smile. It’s been two weeks since we last saw each other, and we are currently in the hideout right now.“Anyways, where is your twin?” I asked when Chris was not around.

Alchy didn’t answer and gazed at Zygo.“Strengthen? I disagreed about this friendship in the first place, tycoon. I don’t have time to put another name on my friend lists.” Zygo turned his face on me as his brows knitted.“You are too harsh, Gan—Shantal.” he almost slips on, mentioning my name. “Is that what you truly desire?
