The two continued to discuss in Neil's study for more than two hours. Knowing that Edith might be worried or suspecting something, the two decided to stop their discussion.
Neil poured a glass of water and handed it over to Mike. He watched as Mike emptied the glass and asked, "Grandpa, are you not planning to tell Edith about her mother?"
"No," Mike said quickly. He placed the glass on the table with a thud and turned to Neil with a serious look on his face. "Edith shouldn't know about this matter."
"Grandpa…" Neil had wanted to coax Mike into coming clean to Edith. As the daughter, Edith deserved to know what had happened to her mother, doesn't she?
However, once he saw Mike's expression, Neil stopped himself.
