Anne glanced at the young man shyly, deeming him to be quite handsome indeed. Blushing, she told Louis, “Grandpa, I’m still too young for this.”

Although Louis was well-known within Bayside City, not a lot of people had had the good fortune to meet him as he lived abroad and rarely came to Bayside City. Therefore, a lot of people never met his granddaughter, so people began inquiring about her. “Is she your granddaughter? She sure looks outstanding!”

Upon receiving the compliment, Louis announced proudly while stroking his beard, “Yeah, her name is Anne Osborne! She took on my surname as my daughter only gave birth to her! She is marvelous with the harp!”

The crowd began giving praise. “She looks like someone with a bright future ahead of her! She might even get to uphold your legacy, Master Osborne!”

Meanwhile, Anne was a little light-headed from all the praise, but she still put on a humble front. “Oh no, you all flatter me. I’m still young, so there’s still a long way to go compared to my grandfather.” At that moment, her honorable status as Louis’ granddaughter made her shine. Taking in the admiration of the crowd, she was feeling elated.

However, the glory didn’t last for too long, as it was soon disrupted by a teensy voice. “Mr. Louis, I’m here!”

Overjoyed upon hearing Carmen’s voice, Louis hastily took a few steps forward, whereas the crowd parted to let him through. Michael had Carmen in his arms, who was wearing a pink dress and pink bow, looking all delicate and outrageously adorable.

“Hiya! You’re finally here! I’ve been waiting so long for you!” Louis carried Carmen in his arms after carefully taking her from Michael. Laying eyes on her cute appearance lifted his spirits, and both Sophia and Michael’s presence further enraptured him. As soon as he began talking to Michael and Sophia, the people who were flattering Anne just moments ago turned to focus on Carmen.
