After spending a week in the hospital, Mike's injuries got better. As the doctor had checked that his body was fit enough to leave, Edith dealt with the discharge procedure and decided to send her grandfather back to Z Town.

On the weekend, Mike followed his granddaughter and was surprised to see that the little princess was waiting for him downstairs. His lips turned into a smile and Mike picked up his pace to go over. 

"Great-grandpa!" Hazel called with her soft, adorable voice. As they were at a public place, Hazel did not dare to run around from her uncle and had stayed close to him. 

"Isn't this is my little princess? Why are you here?" 

Every time he saw Hazel, Mike felt a little happier. Perhaps because of his old age, Mike found that he enjoyed being in the company of small children like Hazel. Moreover, the little girl was very obedient, adorable, and did not mind spending her time with an old man like him.

"Great-grandpa, I come to accompany you back to Z Town."

Mike lifted his head and noticed that Neil was standing beside his niece. 

It was at this time that Mike realized that Neil had volunteered to drive him back to Z Town. At the thought that he was going to spend a few hours with his granddaughter's boyfriend, Mike felt a little uncomfortable.

However, with his condition, his granddaughter will not allow him to go back on his own. Because he did not want to make his granddaughter worry too much, Mike could only swallow and chose not to say a thing.

He followed Edith to the vehicle and hopped into the back seat.

Fortunately, with the little girl accompanying him in the car, Mike did not think that the atmosphere was too strange. Hazel's chattering voice liven up the mood and the one and a half hour journey did not feel too long to him.

After pestering the great-grandfather beside her, Hazel finally fell asleep with her head leaning on Mike's arm.

Seeing Hazel's sleeping face, Mike's felt his heart grew soft and he was reminded of his granddaughter when she was very young. Before Edith lost her mother, didn't she always acted spoiled around him?

Once they reached Z Town, Neil drove to Mike's house and helped to carry their stuff inside. Because he had told James that he was going to return to Z Town, his friend had helped to find someone to clean up his house before they returned.

As soon as they arrived, Edith helped her grandfather into the room and went into the kitchen to cook something.

Neil watched as Hazel took out a book to read and walked into the kitchen to see his girlfriend. He leaned his body on the kitchen counter and watched as Edith prepared a pot of porridge.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Edith lowered her gaze. "Don't make trouble. My grandfather is sleeping next door."

Neil let out a chuckle. "I just came here to accompany you. What trouble can I make?"

Edith lifted her head to look at him, narrowed her eyes, and thought that she shouldn't really trust his words. 

Just as she had thought, the man sneakily leaned forward and pecked at her lips. As if it was not enough, Neil took advantage of her dazed expression and leaned in for another kiss.

When she finally came to her senses, Edith took a step back, scanned at her surroundings, and heaved a breath of relief.

She was worried that her grandfather was going to come out of the room and saw them kissing. It would be embarrassing and Edith would not know how to look at her grandfather's face.

Fortunately, there was no one around.

She shot a dagger look at Neil and spoke, "And you said you were not going to stir some trouble."

Neil let out a laugh upon seeing her expression. Knowing that she would be mad if he continued to tease her, Neil could only suppress his desire to kiss her again.

They have sat together in the car for more than an hour and he was not allowed to touch her hand even if he wanted to. Even though her grandfather had given them his green light, Edith was too shy to act intimately with her boyfriend with her grandfather's presence.

"Are you going to stay here for a meal before you head back to your parents'?" Edith asked. 

Neil nodded. "I'll accompany you to eat before we left."

Anyway, he had long noticed that Edith had added his and Hazel's portion when she started to cook. Knowing her intention, it doesn't feel right to leave right away. Moreover, he just wanted to accompany his girlfriend for a little while longer.

"What are you doing this evening?" Neil asked after a brief silence between them.

"Of course, I'm going to stay home and accompany my grandfather," Edith replied. "Why?"

Neil stared at her face for a while and spoke, "Can you come out?"

"Where do you want to take me to?"

"To meet my parents." The corner of his lips turned up when he saw the surprise on her face. "We have already told your grandfather about us. I wanted to bring you to my parents and tell them about us."

Her heart began to raced and she was panicked. Although Edith knew that she would meet Neil's parents sooner or later and be introduced as his girlfriend, she still thought that it was too sudden. 

They mainly return to Z Town to send her grandfather back and she was not expecting that she was going to meet Neil's parents as his girlfriend this quick. Edith had always thought that Neil would wait for a while longer.

"You don't want to come and meet them?"

Edith met his gaze and under his warm gaze, her heart was suddenly calmed. "It's not that. You didn't tell me this plan earlier and now I'm worried."

A deep laugh escaped him. "What are you worried about?"

"I'm a little unprepared. God. I don't even have anything proper to wear to meet your parents. If you mentioned this to me earlier, I would have brought nicer clothes." 

"Just dress up like you usually do. There won't be anyone else other than my parents at home. My parents had met you before and they wouldn't mind your dressing. Anyway, they have met you before." Seeing that she was quiet, Neil lowered his body to meet her gaze. "So, should I pick you up and have dinner with my parents tonight?" 

Edith bit her lips as she contemplated.. After a while, she lifted her head and nodded.
