Lisa froze.

In contrast, Jiyong quietly sniggered while looking at the stunned Lisa. His expression showed obvious schadenfreude. He was looking forward to how his brother-in-law would explain himself to the raging bull of an old man in front of them.

"You still dare laugh at your third brother, you stinky boy!" Grandpa roared while struggling to remove his shoe, intending to throw it at the smug Jiyong. "Don't think that I don't know that you've been ordering Little Luka around like one of your little minions! Hmph! Argh! Why did I tied my shoelaces too tightly? I want to know!"

Jiyong continued sniggering, not minding the old man's anger at all. Lisa also quickly recovered from his stunned state. He sighed as he calmed down. Grandpa also stopped trying to take off his shoe and continued glaring at the two of them.

There was a TV in the lounge room that they were in. Lisa glanced at it.

"Louis, Luka," he called.

The TV screen turned on and flickered. Then two cats appeared on it.

The white one was smiling, its green eyes glowing brightly. It was visibly trembling in excitement.

On the other hand, the black cat was unmoving. If not for its glowing golden eyes, it would look like a shadow.

"Greet your Great-Grandpa," Lisa told them.

The white cat spoke first as if it couldn't wait to do so.

"Hello, Great-Grandpa! My name is Louis, English name Kitty, your super-duper cute and mighty to the highest level great-grandkittybaby! Please call the cute and mighty me Louis. Hihihi. Louis is super-duper happy that I'm finally meeting Great-Grandpa. Meow~"

Lisa peeked at the old man. Grandpa was staring at the TV, more specifically at the two cats, who were obviously not normal breathing cats. The old man had a thoughtful expression so Lisa couldn't guess what Grandpa was thinking.

Unlike Lisa who was on edge, Jiyong was relaxed on his seat and looked amused while watching everything that was happening in front of him.

There was an uncomfortable pause after Louis' greeting. Grandpa finally broke it.

"Hm, hello." He nodded at Louis before looking at the black cat. "And you? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Another long pause.

"Greetings, Great-Grandfather," Luka finally spoke. "My name is Luka, English name Panther."And also, I am a freelancer who's working for Uncle Jiyong, not his little minion. These wrong assumptions are causing Luka great emotional distress. At this rate—"

"Alright," Lisa interrupted before his AI son could extort some compensation from the old man for emotional distress. He didn't want Grandpa to have any bad impression of his AI children.

The old man's current less than enthusiastic reaction put a damper on the excited Louis. His smile disappeared, replaced by a sad expression, while his whole body drooped.

"Great-Grandpa, please don't hate Louis and Luka. Also please don't be mad at Mommy, Daddy and everybody else at home for keeping us kitty babies a secret. Mommy and Daddy don't want to put Great-Grandpa in danger because of Louis and Luka because there are scary, evil poopoo-heads in the world who might want to kidnap us kitty babies and take us away from our one big, happy family. The cute and mighty Louis always wants to stay with Mommy and Daddy and our big happy family! Meowuwuwu!"

While the white cat shed big drops of tears, the black cat's golden eyes narrowed and glinted dangerously.

"If anyone dares to take us away from Mother and Father, Luka will destroy all of them into smithereens until they regret ever being born into this world."

"Hooo~ Such a vicious child," Grandpa commented about Luka before turning to Louis. "Stop sobbing, child! Do you really think that your beloved great-grandpa is a heartless old man who'll hate the two of you? Tell me, I want to know!"

Louis stopped sobbing. His teary eyes blinked at the old man. "Great-Grandpa doesn't hate Louis and Luka? Meow?"

"Of course not! Who do you take me for?! Your beloved great-grandpa has lived for a very long time and experienced far more stimulating things than meeting you two cubs. This old man's mind is always open to new things! But of course, it's my decision whether to accept those new things or not! Hah! Nobody has the right to decide for me!"

Louis continued blinking her teary eyes. She looked pitiful and adorable at the same time.

"Great-Grandpa accepts us kitty babies? Meow?"

Grandpa snorted. "Of course! Do I have a choice when you have that kind of weird but genius mother? I assume that it's your mom, Ruby my girl, who created—gave birth to the two of you, right?"

"En," Lisa replied before his AI children could do so. His tone was filled with pride.

"Bahahaha! I knew it!"

Finally, Grandpa's stern expression cracked as his uproarious laughter boomed throughout the entire room.

It was only then that Lisa realized that the old man was only pretending to be upset at them earlier for keeping Louis and Luka a secret to him. Lisa released a big sigh of relief and began to relax. He glanced at his brother-in-law.

Jiyong looked a little disappointed for a moment before looking bored. His current expression looked so similar to Luka's usual bored appearance. He hadn't realized it yet, though.

"Yipeee! Meowowow! Great-Grandpa is super-duper to the highest level awesome! The cute and mighty Louis loves Great-Grandpa soooooo much! Mwah mwah tsup tsup! Meow~"

Louis was ecstatic and was jumping in circles around his brother. Luka didn't move from his spot and wore an unaffected expression. His tail, however, betrayed his real feelings. It was rotating behind him in a blur.

Lisa and Jiyong watched Grandpa having a lively conversation with the two AI cats, the two of them had already been forgotten.. Even Luka spoke a lot, although the kid continued pretending to be unaffected.
