"Daddy, can we have dinner with auntie?" Xavier asked, his clear, bright eyes blinking as he shyly twisted his little fingers.
Who would have the heart to refuse such a hopeful yet fearful expression?
"Then you should ask the auntie and grandpa and grandma if that's okay," Kevin Cliff said with the good manners of a well-educated child.
The fair and delicate Xavier looked at his fingers, then turned to Charlotte Green, "Auntie…" then he looked at Mr. and Mrs. Turner and called out, "Grandpa, grandma... can I have dinner with you?"
This address of "Grandpa and grandma" completely melted the old couple's hearts, almost making them forget that he was Kevin Cliff's son, and they nearly agreed on the spot until they snapped out of it at the last moment, throwing the difficult question to Charlotte Green.
As long as Charlotte Green agreed, they had no reason to disagree since their disapproval of Kevin Cliff was because of her.
