Chapter 360: Traces of His Childhood
<.Havenshire, Felicia’s townhouse.>
"Haa... We shouldn’t keep you here longer, Rudy. Aren’t you tired? You should go upstairs and rest. You’ll be busy again tomorrow."
The elderly Mr. Walters’ voice echoed in the lounge, his warm eyes staring at Ruediger who sat across from him. Mrs. Walters and Felicia hummed in agreement.
After dinner, they moved to the lounge to continue chatting. But not even half an hour in, the Walters family’s patriarch told the young man to rest.
"The maid has cleaned up your room," said the kindhearted Mrs. Walters, smiling at Ruediger, "Don’t be awkward. Isn’t this your home too?"
Mr. and Mrs. Walters, Felicia’s elderly parents, lived on the outskirts of the city, but they came today because of Ruediger’s visit. The pair treated the boy their daughter raised like their own grandson, a bonus grandchild aside from Madeline.
He even called them ’Grandfather’ and ’Grandmother’.
Ruediger chuckled softly, appreciating Mr. Walters’ thoughtful gesture. He was indeed exhausted and longed for some rest, but persisted.
The elderly went out of their way to come here because of him, he felt bad if he called it a night early. Now that they urged him to rest, he wouldn’t refuse.
"Then, I’ll go to my room first, Grandmother and Grandfather," Ruediger bowed slightly to the Walters pair, his bangs falling over his forehead, "I’ll see you again at breakfast. Good night. You too, Aunt."
"Yeah, let’s have breakfast together tomorrow."
