The man was flabbergasted for a long while without knowing what to say. If what his grandson says truly comes to pass, he’d be the happiest. For what Maverick did to his family last year, the old man is still recovering from it.

Different horror scenes from the movies she watched came rushing into her mind, causing her to sweat. “Hey, chill. It hasn’t gotten to that. If need be, I’ll file a restraining order, or better still, have Code 5 take care of him.” Jeslyn knew this was no laughing matter.
