“Perhaps you should stay and be my granddaughter-in-law. My sons are supposed to get married soon, but Emmeline seems to be…” Abel suddenly turned around. Oscar nearly bumped into him. “Are you trying to give me a heart attack?” Oscar uttered.
“I lost my appetite so I’ll be leaving now,” Abel said. “I dare you!” Oscar yelled. “I apologize, grandad,” Abel said as he walked past Oscar. “Mr. Abel, don’t leave!” Evelyn held onto his arm. Abel pushed her away.

“Abel! You’re a man yet you’re acting like a child! Get back here! You can leave after lunch!” Oscar
shouted. “Abel, cut it out with that. How can you disobey Grandad” Adrien said. “That’s right, Mr. Abel.
