Winnie inadvertent question unexpectedly got two answers, which surprised Winnie.
Then Rufus stood up unhurriedly, with a slight friendly smile on his face, he said calmly.
"Yes, we met last time I came to pick up the kids."
Rufus had to correct it because he saw the panic on Isobel's face.
"Yes, I'd forgotten."
Isobel answered in embarrassment and panic. She was a compose person, but Rufus’ sudden appearance made her unprepared.
"I will give you a formal introduction. Aunt, this is grandpa of Luke and Megan."
Winnie continued and her doubts was gone because of Rufus's explanation.
Isobel was very unnatural but had to introduce herself, for fear that Winnie and Vanessa saw something wrong.
"Hello, I'm Isobel."
"Hello, I am Rufus."
Rufus' self-introduction was also very brief. He thought they were familiar, but he had to make introduction, as to hide the fact from the children.
"Have a seat, I go cook."
Isobel found an excuse to leave. At this time Winnie said to her.
"Aunt, Rufus is having dinner at our house. Cook more food."
"Ok......ok."
Isobel was to break down, but she could not refuse and could not drive him away. It seemed that she had to face Rufus during the whole mean. How should she swallow the food?
"Rufus, have some tea."
Vanessa brought the tea over and put it in front of Rufus.
"Vanessa, stay and chat with Rufus, I go to the kitchen to help aunt cook."
With that, Winnie went to the kitchen to help.
There were only two children and two adults left in the living room.
"Vanessa, are you happy to celebrate the New Year with your relatives in A City?"
Rufus deliberately found a topic to chat with Vanessa.
