Chapter 28 Pleasant Family
Reunion “Speak for yourself. Gianna did not ask me to reimburse her;” Kate pointed out. “I
f you‘re not going to pay up, then be a bit more self–aware and get out of the car now.”
“Who do you think I came here for? If it wasn‘t just to pick you up. When we came earlier,
we thought we were going to be late so Gianna sped all the way here. My heart was literall
y up in my throat the whole time. She got here in less than 40 minutes when it‘s supposed
to take an hour. My soul felt like it almost left my body. You should be more considerate a
nd also pay for my portion.”
Gianna looked at her through the rear–view mirror. “You should just tell him if you
want him to pay for you. Don‘t beat around the bush and talk about my driving instead of
your own cowardice. You‘re the first one to criticize my driving skills.”
He chimed in, “Exactly; and you still want me to pay on your behalf? Do you think you‘re v
ery pretty?”
Kate immediately lunged forward from the back and gripped his neck with both hands.

Her grip was making it hard for him to talk. “I think you‘re… the most… beautiful.”
After that, she let him go. “At least you‘re not tactless.”
Massaging his neck, he said, “You‘re so ruthless. I almost died here because of you.”
She snorted, “Whose fault is that?”
Gianna shook her head quietly.
It‘s a love–hate relationship!
“Gianna, come with me to see my great–
grandpa later! You can check on him too. He‘s always in my thoughts. I can finally present
myself in front of him now,” Landon announced happily.
“Sure,” Gianna agreed.
They dropped Kate off first, then went to pick up the child and headed to the Nolan Reside
nce.
Gianna was not expecting Silas to be there too and explained bashfully, “Landon was worri
ed. He insisted that I should come along and have a look.”
Silas gave a slight nod. “Yes, thank you.”
“Uncle Silas!” South tilted his head as he greeted him. There was an unrestrained delight
on his face.
Silas walked over and caressed his small head then asked warmly, “Has your leg injury rec
overed?” South nodded. “It doesn‘t hurt anymore.” “Uncle!” Landon called.
Silas nodded at him. “Did you just come back?‘
“Yeah, I came here as soon as I got off the plane.”
“Go on and see Great–grandpa. He‘s always talking about you!”
Landon let out a murmur then looked back at Gianna. “Let‘s go, Gianna.”
Thus, they went into Old Man Nolan‘s room.
