Noah respected his father-in-law's decision and made it a point to speak to Ian later. Elation and joy were evident on his face and Oliver stifled a smile. He could more or less guess what was running in the young man's mind. Finding the sudden urge to pull his son-in-law's leg, he commented, "I too have been through what you are thinking."
His sudden words were like a grenade being thrown at Noah and he widened his eyes, stupefied. "What?"
"I know that feeling of having the woman you like alone with you, without anybody disturbing you. I have passed your age and I know what you are thinking right now." Oliver replied with a smile and this time, Noah did not have any come back at him. If it was Ian or Joshua who were pulling his legs he could have slapped their faces with a cold reply. But it was Oliver. So, all he could do was stay mum, while his ears reddened in embarrassment.
