Chapter 6: Revelation
After a while, they finished eating. In the kitchen, Anita stood by the sink, washing dishes while Richard and Jack sat out on the balcony.
Richard took a drag from his cigarette, exhaled, and leaned back.
Jack grinned. "Dude, I had no idea our families were this close. We're basically relatives!"
Richard scoffed. "Yeah, well, I didn't know either."
Jack chuckled. "Now it's even better that Grandpa knows Auntie. Lemme text him real quick."
He pulled out his phone, his fingers tapping excitedly across the screen. Moments later, his phone rang. Jack's eyes widened as he accepted the call.
"Oh! Grandpa?"
From the other side, a deep voice responded, "Jackie, is it true? Anita is there?"
Jack grinned. "Yeah! Hold on, I'll give the phone to her."
He rushed inside. "Auntie, Auntie! Grandpa's on the phone!"
Anita quickly wiped her hands on a towel and took the call. Jack returned to the balcony, shaking his head in disbelief.
