Waldo didn’t bother beating about the bush, let alone answered his grandson’s greeting.
“What’s this I’m hearing about you being so close to a female employee lately? Matthew, have you forgotten that you have a wife?”
Without thinking for a second, Matthew knew the exact person that told his grandfather about this.
His face turned cold.
“I see that Charlene has come to tell you silly lies about me. There’s nothing between me and the employee in question. She’s just the PR officer I hired recently.”
Waldo refused to take his word for it. He snarled, “If she’s just an employee, why did you take her into your home? What was her business there? Matthew, do you think you can fool me because I am now very old?”
Matthew remained silent.
His grandfather was a stubborn man. Whenever he believed something, no one could tell him otherwise, so Matthew decided to save his breath.
Waldo added, “I just got off the phone with Stella’s grandfather and he said that his granddaughter doesn’t want a divorce. That means you are the one pushing for it. What the hell is wrong with you? Are you doing drugs now? How can you have a good wife but still frolic with a mere PR officer?”
Matthew snorted and his face darkened.

The atmosphere was getting heated as Waldo continued to roar while Matthew kept silent.
Lucia tried to step in as a mediator.
She held her husband’s wrinkly hand and squeezed it.
“I have already spoken to Matthew about his marriage and he promised he would handle it. He has never let you down, has he? So, trust him this time.”
Waldo was breathing hard as he finally kept quiet.
Lucia continued to persuade him in a soft voice, “We haven’t had dinner together for a long time. Matthew seldom visits us. Now that he’s here, let’s set this matter aside and eat together.”
Waldo’s expression softened when he locked eyes with Lucia. He muttered, “Okay, let’s do that.”
Lucia winked at Matthew.
The three of them slowly walked to the dining room.
Once Matthew was done eating, he got up before the table was cleared and left in a hurry, under the guise that something urgent just came up at work.
