"Yes. If there's no other way, I'll just have to give up the surprise for Wanda. It'll leave me with some regrets, though."
Carlisle took a sip from his glass, his eyes filled with melancholy. Tyler leaned against the couch and pinched the bridge of his nose. Shortly after, he sighed.
"I can't think of any perfect solution either. Let me give Grandpa a call."
With that, he went to the balcony with his phone to make the call.
Renaissance Apartment in the East District housed a group of retired elderly officials. All its residents had once held high and powerful positions during their careers. The security there was strict, with guards stationed every few steps outside the apartment.
It was 10:00 pm. While most of the residences had their lights off, one room on the eighth floor of the central building was brightly lit. The room was clean and simple, with portraits of great leaders hanging on the walls.
"Checkmate
"Checkmate again."
"Oh, I lost again..."
An elderly man and a young man played chess in the living room. Theodore, with a head of gray hair and a face full of wrinkles, was dressed decently and neatly. He wore a pair of reading glasses.
"You intentionally let me win again, didn't you?" Theodore asked, smiling faintly.
"I lost, and that's all that matters," Xavier, in his 20s, replied, his face devoid of expression.
He wore a slightly loose camouflage uniform.
"How's Zay doing there?" Theodore asked, taking a sip from his teacup.
Xavier calmly nodded.
"Pretty good. He even has a chubby son, your great-grandson."novelbin
Theodore's hand trembled as he locked his sharp eyes on Xavier and asked in disbelief, "What did you just say?
Xavier rolled his eyes.
"Do you have to get all worked up?"
Theodore laughed heartily.
"Wonderful! Simply wonderful! Is that brat's wife from your side, too?"
Xavier nodded in response.
"His wife is really something. I can't disclose too much, but if everything goes well, you should be able to reunite with his family in a couple of years."
Xavier's words thrilled Theodore so much that he almost couldn't hold his teacup.
His eyes welled with tears as he said, "Finally, after nine years..."
Xavier then casually asked, "Any news about the matter I asked you to look into?"
"Everything's been verified,' Theodore said as he set down the teacup with his trembling hands and got up to retrieve several documents from a drawer in the cabinet behind him.
"Coincidentally, your brother saved my entire family." Theodore remarked as he handed the documents to Xavier.
