Ethan Grant was on a video call with his grandfather when he received the message.
"Ethan, you and Shirley are living so comfortably on Pyralia. Pity these old bones of mine, with no one to come visit!"
Ethan Grant didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I'll have Ian Hollis come pick you up!"
"No need!"
His grandfather chuckled, sitting upright in his chair. "Uncle Wyatt and I will just make our way over slowly. We can enjoy the scenery along the way."
Ethan Grant nodded. "Mm-hmm." The cold aura around him seemed to melt away, replaced by the warmth of sunlight.
After settling on the route and discussing a few things about the birthday, the two of them ended the call.
Ethan Grant tapped the hang-up button. He suddenly sighed, propping his head up with an elbow, his brows knitting together in consternation.
He had to explain to his grandfather that Shirley Thorne's pregnancy was fake.
The question was, how?
