A few days later, it was time for school. Dallas and Chezy will take the children to the Alston extended family to greet their grandparents. Even Grandpa Alston has been a little unwell lately. Maybe it's the age factor too.
Even so, Grandpa Alston was still happy to talk to his three great-grandchildren. Especially with Egan who is interested in martial arts.
"Do you want to be a soldier?" tanyakanya.
"Can you defeat the criminals?" Egan seemed interested.
"Not only defeat the criminals and capture them, but also defend our country, be the hero of everyone," explained Grandpa Alston slightly coughing and drinking a cup of bland tea.
Perhaps because he had lived as a warrior in the past, his physique was slightly better than most other old men. But age could not lie, he could no longer stand for long and could only spend time relaxing. Occasionally will take a walk in the yard to move the muscles of his body that began to loosen.
Not knowing when death would pick him up, at least Grandpa Alston was happy to see his great-grandson growing up year after year.
"Can I be like Grandpa in the future?"
"of course. You have to try hard to train and study hard. Remember, make an honest soldier and obey the rules. Being a soldier, our main task is to defend the country ..." Grandpa Alston didn't say much because he was worried that his great-grandson would think too much.
But Egan nodded that he understood.
Shortly Dallas arrived and his guess turned out to be correct. Someone taught him and it wasn't Chezy but his own grandfather.
"Grandfather, he's a kid, don't teach him martial arts. Look at your old bones aren't you worried about your bones breaking all?" Dallas had an unhappy tone.
Grandpa Alston was angry. "Abroad! Even though I'm old, I know what I'm doing. I didn't teach him myself. I asked Miley to teach him personally" he said.
"Miley ...," murmured Dallas even let out a chill on her body. "It looks like he's been unemployed lately" he said.
"..." - ".Grandpa Alston's a little freaked out. Oh, this is not true.
Dallas will definitely ask Miley to design the latest military secret firearms again later. Then don't let him teach his great-grandson martial arts.
"Don't worry about your great-grandson. I will teach him right. Doesn't he want to go into the army? So just look at his abilities" Dallas said, staring at Egan.
"..." - ".Egan felt he would not be lucky if trained by his father.
"It's lunch time" Mrs Alston said as she carried Diana. "Egan, come with Grandma" he asked.
Egan immediately ran away and followed Madame Alston into the dining room. Dallas sighed and looked at his grandfather who was getting older by the day.
"How's Grandpa's body doing these days? Why not come to the hospital for a checkup? Or invite Arran," he asked more concerns.
Grandpa Alston coughed a few times and shook his head. "It's okay. I'm old, maybe sooner or later I'll die too. Why are you so worried? I may soon catch up with your grandmother in nature" he replied.
If in the past Grandpa Alston could walk and lead the team to capture his great enemy—Rogers, then this time he could only watch television or hear the radio. His vision was a little blurred when reading the newspaper so often use glasses.
Dallas seemed unhappy with his words. "Don't say that.”
“Alright, Alright. You can go for lunch. The waiter will bring me food later, no need to wait for me,” Grandpa Alston said indifferently.
Dallas immediately left the living room with a slightly hesitant step. Upon seeing his grandson leave, Grandpa Alston let out a sigh and took a framed photo that was on the ornamental table beside him. He saw himself with Grandpa Edelmar when he was young. His heart became softer.
“Why did you leave first and not wait for me? Basic stubborn old man,” murmured a little nostalgic.
True, Grandpa Edelmar died two years ago because of the pain he suffered. At the time, the entire Edelmar family was in mourning and the royal family made an online announcement over the departure of the much-devoted country hero.
And Grandpa Alston felt lost after that. No one else would call him all the time to ask him about Chezy and his great-granddaughter. The Alston family was worried that Grandpa Alston would be sad all the time and start allowing Chezy to visit him every week or on holidays.
After Grandpa Edelmar died, Grandpa Alston also had hopes to go catch up with him in the near future ….
In the dining room.
Lunch was served pretty fancy today and everything looks really good. Mr. Alston avoids foods that are too greasy. Chezy and Dallas had no problems with food, except not to use garlic in cooking.
Efrain, Egan and Edrick ate voraciously but all of them also had a thick attitude of nobility.
“Mother heard you two are going to Country F. Is there an important event there?” mrs Alston asked Dallas and Chezy.
