MEETING THE MASTERMIND

Laleen stared at the scene before her with a puzzling look but this was the perfect chance for her to confirm what she'd been pondering about this whole time.

Just one look. One look at this man who seemed to be Shane's grandfather and she'll see what would happen.

She knew it was risky but she was willing to take that risk.

As the thought settled in her mind, she folded her fists in determination as she stared at the older-looking man who had his chin raised as he stared at the problem child known as Noah.

"Why do you have to be so difficult, boy?" The man continued with a threatening tone. Noting Noah's unfazed smile, he only chuckled before taking various steps into the house, all effortlessly, leaving Laleen to wonder why he needed the walking stick he carried in the first place.

"Pick up the stick, brat" he ordered when he came to stand in front of Noah not intimidated by his imposing height in the slightest.
