Although the elders were regretful that Little Jun needed to leave, they understood Iris' predicament. They also adored Ice Cream and Popcorn, especially after Jin Liwei brought them to the house for the first time and announced them as his children.
"I'm sorry. I'll bring Little Jun again next time," Iris told the elders.
"Xiulan my dear, don't apologize. Go now. I hope dear Ice Cream is alright," Grandma Li said.
"Son, drive safely. You have a child with you," Huang Yuyan reminded Jin Chonglin.
"Don't worry, Mom. I will."
"Here, Little Junjun. This is from Great-Grandpa Lu. And this and this and thisโฆoh, and this tooโฆ" Grandpa Lu gave a lot of treats, toys, picture books, clothes, shoes and a lot of other presents to the child.
Little Jun clapped his hands and gave the old man a hug and a wet kiss on the cheek, delighting Grandpa Lu to no end. He almost didn't want to let go of the child when Iris tried to take him.
