The unexpected visitor

Jasper's curiosity grew. He thanked the boy and went out, his gaze scanning the surroundings. As he neared the car, the man turned around and grinned at him. Caught off guard, Jasper halted his steps.

"Christopher!" Jasper never thought of seeing him here. His mind had envisioned a different reunion. He had thought it might be Samuel or Michael who had come to meet him. But it was Christopher, who looked as sharp as ever in his black suit.

Christopher, with a perpetual grin, closed the distance. "Abi wanted to visit Italy. So, we are here," he explained, extending a friendly hand towards Jasper, who reciprocated with a smile and a handshake.

Expressing delight, Christopher remarked, "It's really nice to see you happy."

"Thank you. How is Abi and the little one?" 

"They are doing well."

"Where are they? Why didn't you bring them here?"
