chapter 10 Grandparents visit

The three kids where more than excited today after coming from school and what's more it was Friday meaning tomorrow it's weekend to spend more time with their daddy, hence they both agreed thinking of calling they father to pick them up for some fun and sleep over.

A knock interrupted their excited chatter and voice outside called to identify the guests who where at the door.

" Lauren, Laura are you there"

" Grandma!!"

The three kids run towards the door, opening the door for the middle aged couple.

As the grandparents walked into the house, they were greeted by the cheerful sounds of their grandchildren playing together.

The grandparents exchanged warm smiles as they walked inside exchanging greetings among each other.

But as they sat down to join in on the fun, the conversation took an unexpected turn.

"Guess what, Grandma? Guess what, Grandpa?" Andrew exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with excitement, only with his close family members could he show his immature side.

"What is it, dear?" his grandmother asked, her curiosity piqued.

"Our dad came back!" Laura chimed in, her face lighting up with a smile.

The grandparents exchanged a stunned glances.

They had not heard anything about this when talking to their daughter just a moment ago on the phone.

The two grand parents expressions didn't change much since they were talking to their little grandchildrens.

They had always and every day made a mental note about this man who had since he had left their daughter heartbroken and devastated.

The children continued to chatter excitedly, sharing stories of their time with their father. They told their grandparents about the fun they had, the places they went, and the things they did together.

But as the grandparents listened, their expressions grew increasingly somber. The grandfather's face turned red with suppressed anger, his eyes blazing with a fierce inner fury.

' How dare that brat come back into their grandchildren's lives after all these years and after what he did to daughter,no way!!' the grandfathers hand was trembling with rage but didn't want his grandchildren to notice hence excused himself.

' this brat dares to show his face, did he have any idea the pain and suffering he had caused their daughter?' the grandmother thought but choose to remain with her grandchildren to learn more about the man.

Outside the balcony....

The grandfather's anger simmered just below the surface, waiting to be unleashed. He couldn't wait to teach the nameless brat a lesson, to make him understand the gravity of his actions.

The grandfather's face was still red with anger as he quickly dialed a number on his phone. "Sophia, it's Dad. We need to talk to you about something urgent," he said, his voice firm but controlled.

However, Sophia was busy in a meeting and couldn't take the call. The grandfather's face fell, and he quickly hung up the phone.

"Try calling Emma," the grandmother suggested, her voice calm and soothing as she joined her old man on the balcony though she's made she understands the gravity of Andres importance into the childrens live but that doesn't mean she will forgive him easily.

The grandfather quickly dialed Mia number, and she answered on the first ring.

"Mia we need to talk to you about something," the grandfather said, his voice still firm but slightly softer in order for the grandchildren not to notice anything amise.

Emma's voice was cautious as she asked, "What's wrong,dad?"

Joe the father took a deep breath before launching into the question that had been burning in his mind and couldn't wait any longer " Mia what's going on with this man? The children just told us that he's back, and we have no idea what his intentions are."

Mia's pause was palpable, and the father's anger began to simmer again. What was the man doing back in their lives, and what did he want with their grandchildren? Did he want to cause more harm towards his daughter.

The grandfather's eyes narrowed as he listened intently to Mia's explanation. "So, let me get this straight," he said, his voice measured. "The scoundrel wants what exactly?"

Madam Sarah nudged her husband shoulder not to speak inappropriate Incase the grandchildren hear him.

Mia replied replied. "I'm not sure what he wants to do now, but he seems not to have the intention of claiming the children."

The grandfather's expression turned skeptical. " I don't believe he came with no purpose"

"Well, dad, am not really sure as well maybe sister knows something " Mia explained. "Dad all I can say is,he was really nice to the kids am sure he couldn't want to separate them from their mother, maybe doesn't have any ulterior motives."

The grandfather's eyes narrowed further. "Since you so him,what does he do?" he asked, his voice firm.

Mia thought for a moment before responding. " Will find out, dad, I gotta go my friends are waiting for me will talk about this later home bye."

Mia hung up her phone and went to join Andre, Emily and her best friend Melissa.

"Who was that" Melissa questioned.

Mia looked guilty at Andre and answered Melissa dismissively.

" None important,none important"

...

The grandfather's expression turned thoughtful. He wasn't sure what to make of this sudden reappearance of the so called father of his grandchildren. On one hand, it seemed like he was genuinely interested in getting to know his children. On the other hand, the grandfather couldn't shake off the feeling that this man was up to something.
