LOVED SIXTY NINE

The cake was cut and now they were sitting at tables to eat, Ophelia and Cade were invited by his grandfather to sit at the same table as he was sitting because they were family just as Frances claimed, Frances had earlier planned to remove them from their table but Charles had insisted that Frances knew it was pointless to argue with him about it.

"Why haven't you come with your wife to visit me one of these days?" Charles asked as they ate.

"We have both been so busy that we have not been able to squeeze out time"

"You scoundrels" Charles backed at them. "You should do better" he added.

"We are sorry about that and we shall soon come to say Hello, very soon," Cade said. He knew that his grandfather was still very traditional in his thinking and there was no separating them, there was nothing he could do about it too.

"You had better" Charles added.

"Oh Charles, you are busy going on and on about Cade when it is Cael's birthday today" Abigail said.

"Do you have to bring that up now?"
