"Didn't we just go there yesterday?" Lana blinked her big eyes, wondering if they could go again today.

Smiling, Jared picked Lana up. "We're going to another great grandpa's house.”

"Another one?" Nolan furrowed his eyebrows, thinking, 'Are there many great-grandpas?'

"It's my grandpa," Jared explained.

Nolan and Lana exchanged glances. 'Daddy's grandpa?'

Lana was surprised. "Daddy has a grandpa too?"

Jared, finding the situation humorous, said, "Of course, I have a grandpa. It's just that your mommy couldn't

remember, so she didn't tell you guys."

Understanding dawned on Nolan and Lana as they nodded.1 No wonder we never heard about it!'

After a while, the car drove into the Johnston family manor. After Jared and Nicole got out of the car, they took

Nolan and Lana into the mansion. Maximillian was clearly waiting for them. As soon as they entered, he kept his

eyes on Nolan and Lana, smiling broadly.

"There you are!" Maximillian waved at Nolan and Lana, his smile so broad that the wrinkles on his face squeezed

together. "Come, give me a hug!"

"Great grandpa!" Nolan and Lana called out as they approached Maximillian, preparing themselves for a hug.

Maximillian's face crinkled with joy as he looked at the children, feeling a rush of affection. Pulling out the gifts he

had gotten for them, he said, "Here, these are for you."

"Thank you, Great grandpa!" Nolan and Lana said, as Maximillian handed them a pair of small but intricate

keepsake boxes that sparkled under the light.

"I heard from Benjamin that he gave you special charm bracelets, so I couldn't give you the same. That's why I

prepared these," Maximillian said, quite pleased with himself. His gifts were no worse than Benjamin's.

Nicole raised an eyebrow at Jared, as if asking, "Has grandpa always been this competitive?"

"Probably because he's gotten older," Jared whispered.

Years ago, Maximillian was not like this. These days, since he stopped managing the Johnston family affairs and the

company, he showed a lighter side of his personality.

"That's quite nice," Nicole said with a smile.

"Everyone, sit down," Maximillian invited everyone to take a seat. After sitting down, he looked at Nolan and Lana,

his eyes full of sympathy. "You certainly managed to keep it a secret, huh?"

"Grandpa, we were concerned revealing the children's identities might endanger them, so we chose to keep it a

secret," Nicole said. Jared had agreed mainly for her sake, and she did not want Maximillian to feel hurt or betrayed

by their decision.

"Are the Johnston kids in danger here in San Joto?" Maximillian's face turned serious as he looked at Jared." Can you

explain what exactly happened?" He realized they were not just hiding the kids but also many other things he was

not aware of.

Nicole was surprised. Even though Maximillian had long since stopped managing the company and the Johnston

family affairs, he instantly understood that something had happened.

"Grandpa, let's focus on positive topics while the kids are here. I'll fill you in on everything else later.” Jared

reassured Maximillian, not wanting to worry him further.
