Chapter 48

"How do you speak?" Granny  smiled and gave Grandpa reproachful look "Don't take it to heart, Trista. Since the leg accident, he has become quite inhumane. He jilts his face at me on occasion!"

"Bring me my chessboard,"    Grandpa didn't want to talk to us, and the situation became tense.

Donald sought to explain things further "I went after Trista, Grandpa. She was adamant till the very end. My relationship with her isn't exactly what you'd expect."

"I've seen so many playing hard to get."

"Why are you so hostile to Trista for no apparent reason? Look, she even brought us some food!"

"So what?" you might ask.

The cell phone suddenly rings. "I'll go out and answer the phone," Donald says as he notices the call.

"OK."

Grandpa was engrossed in a game of chess. "Come and chop the fruit," he said after a while.

"All well, I'll go."

"Trista, take a seat and let the servants handle it."

"It'll be OK. Allow me to take care of it."
