Looking at the cute little girl with food smeared on her face looking seven parts similar to his daughter and calling grandpa, the old chairman Ardon Bladestorm who experienced countless waves in his life couldn't stop him from getting stunned for a while.
Zera continues to wave her hand as time passes from seconds to minutes and as her hand starts to ache a little but the old man is stunned silly, She couldn't help but say, "Ahem... Uhm… Grandpa, I am your runaway daughter's daughter! Can you say something, I can't hold my hand any longer."
Hearing what the little girl said with a tone of grievance, the old man finally returned to normal and sat pulling a chair right beside Zera. Leaning forward towards her face and poking a few times, feeling the soft and chubby cheeks he couldn't help but squeeze them a little.
"Hey, grandpa! I am real and can you stop squeezing my cheeks. I can't eat my lobster if you keep on doing that." Said Zera, patting away the greedy paws on her cheek with the lobster claw.
Hiding the rising excitement about getting a granddaughter, Ardon asked" What's your name dear, and how old are you?" while rubbing Zera's head and taking over the remaining lobster, and helping her out with the shells.
"My name is Zera Lynx and I am now 4 years old." Said Zera, blinking her eyes, appearing as cute as possible.
"Zera Lynx, good name. Girl what about your dad, why are you sitting alone and he isn't with you while your mom went to us?" Asked Ardon, already forming a dislike for this son-in-law who hasn't met yet.
Realizing that her grandpa misunderstood and had a hard time, later on, Zera was excited thinking about it and didn't explain the misunderstanding but said," Oh, Dad? I was hungry when we landed here, so I came here alone first, so I don't know where he is. Shall I call him?" Zera took out her mom's mobile, ready to make a call.
'What the ...letting a little girl roam around a city alone. What kind of father is he and looks like Sylvia is also getting irresponsible now. Hmh, I will raise my granddaughter from now on, since they like each other being together and leaving a baby alone.'
Looking at her newly recognized grandpa who nearly has imaginary smoke rising over his head in Zera's eyes, she silently let the eat the peeled lobster giving him space.
Just then the door opened and a middle-aged lady come in followed by Silvia while talking to each other and she got her eyes on Zera who is getting fed by her husband she froze for a moment and then turned to her daughter, then back again to Zera and went on for a few time before taking a seat on the other side by Zera.
Realizing an additional line of sight on her, Zera turned around to face the middle-aged lady and said," Hey grandma" waving her hands.
Time goes by as mom quickly explains to her parents about our life but keeps dad's identity a secret saying he will also come to meet in a few minutes.
As we are talking about my daily life, the door opened again and an energetic Xander Lynx walked in just to see the chairman of SKS Healthcare having brunch with his family.
"Sorry, looks like I went to the wrong room." Xander apologized and was about to leave just to hear a shout from behind.
"Grandpa!!! You came to the correct room, no need to leave and I am your granddaughter." Shouted Zera, as she recognized from the photos she had seen in dad's album that he was about to leave.
"What did you just call me?" Asked Xander suspiciously as he entered the room and eyeing Zera while Zale entered from behind following Mrs.Lynx.
"Grandpa and hello there grandma." Greeted Zera when she saw another middle aged lady enter the room.
"What the h*ll is going on. Someone asked for funding for the mercenary corps. But now I have a granddaughter all of a sudden. You better have an explanation for this after we go back home Zale, otherwise I am going to cancel your mercenary groups funding from now on!" Xander scolds Zale as he misunderstood while Zale is stunned how things turned into his fault.
Recognizing the newly entered family Ardon also realized who made his baby daughter elope from marriage and his face turned black.
"What a good son you got there, you old thief Lynx. You taught your son to kidnap my baby daughter and you still have to act in front of me. I thought you were only a thief in the Game we play daily but it looks like you are one in real life too." Ardon started to say fiercely at Xander.
"Who is a thief in real life? Says the old guy pretending to be a little white face in the game to pass missions." Shouted back Xander pointed his finger at grandpa with his face turning dark at the mention of the game.
"It's you, you…."
Zale along with his mom quietly came and sat down ignoring the two old men who were arguing with each other as if they lost their wife and families got murdered by the other.
Looking at the calm appearance of everyone at the table,Zera couldn't help but get confused and started looking at the quarrelling old men and the quiet grandmas' who were chatting with each other.
Looking at her granddaughter's confused appearance looking cute, Kater pinched her cheeks and explained," Don't worry about them, they always get along like that."
Watching the old men not stopping even after they have finished their food Zera asked," Shouldn't we make them stop now and dad you also need to show that."
Getting the hint from his daughter, Zale shouted" Dad, father-in-law, you might want to look at this. This is very important for all of us."
"What?"
"What are you …."
Watching how their son and son in law effortlessly broke the wooden handle of the chair and then squeezed it with one hand turning it into small splinters and blowing them off from the palm both of their mouths opened wide as if the chin was about to fall off.
