A Love For Keeps

Peril

(FENG LIXONG)

I smile while watching my grandson looking well as he stared at the menu to look for something to eat.

Today, ZhuTuan and MiLen are bound to come back from their trip to Japan and they will join us for lunch in just a few minutes. Yu and I decided to come early in the hotel where his parents were checked in and in this restaurant inside the hotel.

"I am glad that we will all eat together as a family again, Grampy." Yu said with a sparkle in his eyes with delicate black line and his eyelashes I suspect were dab with make up as well.

My beautiful grandson. I didn't see it before. I was too blind to see. But now I think I owe Wang Guan for something.

Those photos that Guan gave to me, the pictures that were secretly taken that my enemy is using to blackmail me, showed me how beautiful my grandson is.

In any form.

In a suit, a shirt, a dress...in tight leggings. Even when he is kissing the grandson of my enemy, my Yu looks beautiful while doing it.

And now, Yu is smiling at me. Without any resentment in his eyes or fear, even though it was just two weeks ago since I hurt him. My own hand, striking my grandson.

"Did you miss having meals with our family?" I asked Yu.

My grandson nodded, "I miss you, Grampy."

My chest constrict at that. "And I miss you the most, Yu ah."

"I know," Yu winked at me, teasing in his eyes and tone before he took a sip of his juice.

I laughed. "How have you been?"

"Oh, I am about halfway done on my new project. That's in writing. I am trying to learn a new language..."

"Really?" That is fascinating.

"Yes, one of my protagonist was a soldier in a war in the Middle East, so I thought a little Arabic or Farsi will be needed to add. You know, details..."
Yu explained with an excited tone.

"Details are important in any story," I agreed.

"I know. I am being careful with details, Grampy." Yu assured me.

"I know you will..." I said in full trust with him before looking at the door of the restaurant.

"They will be here soon," Yu said when he noticed what I did. "Mama and Baba will surely join us,"

"I don't worry about that. I know they will join us," I said.

"Are you well, Grampy?" Yu asked in concern. "Living alone must be a new experience for you..."

"It is," I nodded. "And I find that I hate it, Yu ah. I hate living alone and not having you and your Baba with me in that house..."

"I will help to convince them to come home," Yu said.

"How about you? Have you been well?" I asked.

"I had colds a few days ago. I am recovering now," Yu said.

"Good," I frowned in concern but nodded. Yu looks hale and happy.

We called a waiting staff to order some food. We will just add things on when his parents came.

But soon, Yu started yawning.

"Are you sleepy, Yu ah?" I asked in concern.
