Chapter 44 Never Changed

• “Oliver, please keep Nicole company for a bit. I need to call Grandpa. He’s not home yet, and it’s getting late. I swear, if he's been tempted by some young woman, I’ll kick him out of the house. I'll take all his money!” Marsha grumbled, annoyed that her husband hadn't returned yet. He’d said he wouldn’t be long, but it was already five in the afternoon and he still wasn't back.
• Oliver sighed softly, listening to his grandmother's rant. “Grandma, Grandpa only loves you. He’d never do that to you, Grandma. Don’t be ridiculous.”
• “Yes, yes. Well, you keep Nicole company. I won’t rest until I’ve spoken to your grandpa,” Marsha said quietly, though still sounding annoyed.
