Chapter 106: Back Home
Seeing Rory’s hesitation, Liam answered her phone. He didn’t say much and she didn’t hear what Derick was saying at the other end. Rory observed Liam’s face to guess what the phone call was about.
Seeing Liam’s face turning pale, she clutched his shirt as she knew they are facing more struggles.
"Uncle is arriving today," Liam said ending the call.
"That’s it?" Rory asked.
"Yes," he hissed. "Did you not hear, Rory? Eldest Uncle is here! Even Derick is panicking. He didn’t expect his father to attend the wedding." He shook her shoulders.
Seeing her unimpressed face, he let out a sigh. "Oh, right! You’re Rory. Why am I even talking to you?" he mumbled and stood up.
Rory chuckled. Next to Grandpa Roberts, everyone is scared of Uncle Leroy. She didn’t know what is so scary about him though.
He has a gentle voice and a smiling countenance. He calls her angel because she "sings like one". He loves to keep the family in the living room. Either they will be watching movies, or they will be playing board games. His wife Penelope is a darling. She loves laughing at her husband’s jokes and they are very adorable together.
Aunt Penny would play the piano and Uncle Leroy would ask her to sing. She loved it when they visited. She would feel like a superstar when Uncle Leroy is around.
"Strap the baby in. We are leaving," Liam grumbled seeing the excitement on her face.
"Okay," Rory controlled her smile and she gently placed Ellie in the carrycot.
How adorable!
