Serendipity – A Chance Encounter - Chapter 367

The couple quickly changed their clothes and opened the door to let Seo Joon in.

“What’s up?” Samantha gestured for her brother to come inside.

“Well… gramps’s downstairs.” Seo Joon walked over to the crib and picked up his nephew. He was so much fond of little Ashton that he constantly plays with him.

“Oh, he’s here now?” Samantha smiled at the same time that Daniel’s expression turned perplexed and said: “What?! But my grandfather’s coming over today?”

Seo Joon chuckled upon hearing Daniel before he turned to Samantha, “Yeah… that’s the other thing that I wanted to say, Grandfather Cho is also in the living room.”

Samantha’s eyes widened in surprise. She turned to Daniel and questioned, “What’s your grandfather doing here today? I thought he was coming tomorrow?”

Daniel shook his head in denial, “No… I told you he was coming today, so I thought your grandfather was arriving tomorrow.”

“Oh god,” Samantha put a hand on her mouth as she walked over to the bed and sat on it. “The two of them are here together at the same time. What are we going to do? That’s going to be very awkward.”

Placing his hands on his waist, Daniel watched Samantha think about it before he answered, “I’m sure it’s going to be fine. We’ll just have to make sure that none of them feels left out.”

Chuckling, Seo Joon exclaimed, “Good luck with that!” He glanced at the couple and whispered to his little nephew, “Looks like you’re going to have a lot of fun today, buddy. Make sure to make a lot of trouble okay? Make Uncle Joon proud.”

“Joon!” Samantha snarked, annoyed that her brother was having fun at the situation.

They tried to avoid having the two grandfathers to be in the same room as much as possible because the two of them did not know how to handle these old men. And now, they were in the situation where the grandfathers were going to meet little Ashton. So who was going to hold the baby first? Who were they going to say hi first?

“Whatever. Let’s just get it over with.” Samantha got up from the bed and looked at Daniel and her brother, giving them both an icy cold glare. “You two better not leave me in there.” She pointed her finger to them. “Or else–”

Daniel and Seo Joon gulped when they saw Samantha’s serious-looking face that meant business. They better not screw it up.

Coming down the stairs, the three of them saw the two old men sitting opposite each other on the sofa. They were looking at different sides of the house without talking to each other. Grandfather Cho held a cane and played with it while Grandfather Kim was randomly looking at the walls of the house.

Seo Joon couldn’t help but giggle looking at the two cute grandpas. “Aw!” he exclaimed when Samantha slapped his head lightly and gave him a glare. “Hey– I’m older than you. Give me some face.”

“Then stop being a child,” Samantha said through gritted teeth.

Daniel could only shake his head seeing the siblings act like this. He walked past them carrying little Ash in his arms and headed towards the men in the living room. “It’s nice of you both to come and visit Ash,” he said without a hint of hesitation.

Hearing Daniel’s greeting, the two grandfathers looked up and saw him approach them. They both stood up at the same time and smiled as they stared at the little potato in Daniel’s arms.

“Oh– he looks just like you when you were a baby, Dan,” Grandpa Cho commented and a genuine smile formed on his face.

“Yeah, mom and dad said so as well,” Daniel replied.

“Hello, gramps. I’m glad you could make it!” Samantha skipped towards Grandpa Kim and gave him a huge hug.

“Mmmm, your little boy looks very cute just like you,” Grandfather Kim said, watching Ashton cling to Daniel as though he didn’t want to part with his father.

Daniel greeted Samantha’s grandfather while she did the same to Daniel’s. Grandfather Cho didn’t show much affection just like he usually does as he only nodded and gave a brief smile to Samantha while Grandfather Kim gave Daniel a pat on the shoulder.

So far, their first phase has been quite okay as the two old men just tried to ignore each other and only spoke to Samantha and Daniel.

“Is he okay? Why is he clinging to Daniel like that?” Grandpa Kim asked when he noticed that little Ash’s arms were constantly circled around Daniel’s neck.

“Ah– I think he’s just shy… It’s the first time he’s meeting two new people after all. He’ll be okay once he gets used to you,” Samantha replied.

Hearing that, Grandfather Cho wanted to try and be close with his great-grandchild so he walked up and poked the little one playfully. “Hello…” he greeted.

However, Ashton only glanced at Grandfather Cho very briefly before he turned his head to the other side and embraced his father tighter. Seeing the little bun’s reaction made Grandpa Cho feel embarrassed he had to clear his throat and cough lightly.

“Heh–” Seo Joon wanted to stifle a laugh but Samantha’s glare was faster that it made him swallow his laughter instead and maintained a poker face.

Uh-oh, seems like this will be a long day for all of them.
