"Hi, Grandpa! I am so happy to meet my beautiful sister's daddy! Yay!" he said clapping his hands, making Derrick smile widely. Magnar was a little disheartened at his future-father-in-law's distant behavior but seeing Charlie he knew he did the right thing by bringing him here.
Mary, the family's housemaid, stood slightly behind the others. She gave a warm nod and said, "Good afternoon, Mr.Derrick. I am Mary, the housemaid. I hope you're feeling well. We brought some gifts and treats for you."
"Thank you," Derrick said, appreciative of the thoughtful gesture. "That's very kind of you."
Ella and the others settled into chairs around Derrick's bed, and Ella began to engage Derrick in conversation. "So, in-law, how are you doing today? How are things going for you here?"
Derrick's head was filled with many questions. Like her daughter wasn't married to her son yet! But he kept it down.
