NovelEnglishListening to Healey, Matt couldn't help but tease him, "Oh man, you're tellingyou're still up on all this hip stuff at your age?"
Healey replied, "My boy just got hitched last month. He and his missus went all the way to Ireland to tie the knot. | mean what's
wrong with a good old-fashioned wedding back home? These kids nowadays make everything so complicated. The paperwork
alone took an age. It's not like they couldn't get married right here."
"Well, they couldn't get married back home," Matt said, leaving Healey momentarily speechless.
After a few seconds, Healey gave Matt a solemn clap on the shoulder. "Look, buddy, you've got plenty of kids. Odds are one of
them will make you a grandpa. Speaking of which, check out my grandson. Isn't he just the cutest? And, you know, my second son
just had a little granddaughter. You should see her picture. She's absolutely adorable..."
The more Matt heard, the hotter under the collar he got. He glanced at Healey with annoyance and kicked his fishing rod in
frustration. "Big deal, you've got grandkids? You don't have a daughter! | do have a daughter, and what's more, I've got a grandkid
from her, too! Lettell you, my granddaughter is so cute, a chubby little thing, and sharp as a tack! I..."
Before Matt could finish his sentence, his phone rang. It was a video call from Roman, and Matt immediately lit up his face. "Look
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtat that, my dear grandson Roman's calling me. Does your grandson video-call you? | didn't think so. Hmph."
After a brief boast, Matt turned his attention to the video call.
Roman was sprawled out on the bed, looking pitiful. "Grandpa, I'm having a rough time."
"Poor thing? Who's messing with my favorite grandson?" Matt asked with concern.
"Who else but Elio," Roman pouted, hugging his phone close. "Elio's being a pest and got to go on a TV show with mom. He gets to
spend all this twith her. Uncle Nathan gets to hang around her, too. But | only get to see mom during her breaks, and she's
always so busy..."
At the sight of Roman's woebegone expression, Matt melted his heart. "Roman, my boy, one of these days your mom will take you
on a family show, and then you can be with her every day."
A family show?
Roman twinkled his eyes and smacked a big kiss on the screen. "You're the best, Grandpa! | love you!"
"l..." Matt was beaming with joy, but before he could finish his thought, Roman had already ended the call.
Matt curled his mustache and grumbled as he tossed his phone aside. "Ungrateful little tyke, just like his mother."
Meanwhile, Astrid and her knitting circle of adventurers were still braving their journey.
Because of Nathan's arrival, Ewas getting less alone twith Astrid, and he wasn't happy about it.
It was around this tthat the online community noticed something even more intriguing.
Comments started popping up. [Guys, have you noticed the way Karin looks at Nathan? It seems a bit off.]
[I saw that. | think Clyde's got a thing for Karin, too.]
[But it's all one-way street!]
[Can you all wake up, please? This is a wilderness survival show, not a dating reality show. What's with all the love matters?]
[Don't you think Mr. Lampard is the real victim here, LOL. He acts all tough with everyone, but he seems pretty civil with Nathan.]
