    “Adrien, you know him, right?” Kisa asked.


    Thomas’ eyes sparkled with recognition. “Uncle Adrien, of course I know him. The Tanner family and


    ours go way back. My dad would take me and Peter to visit him all the time.”


    “Really? Well, he is my godfather.”


    Thomas was taken aback. “What a coincidence! But you know what, Uncle Adrien never agrees to be a


    godfather. When my dad asked him to be ours, he refused. He must be pretty special to you.”


    “Maybe he just loves daughters,” Kisa said nonchntly. “So, what do you say we pay the Tanner


    family a visit today?”


    “The Tanner family?” Thomas hesitated. “Uncle Adrien isn’t in Oceanville right now, and the only person


    at home is Mrs. Tanner Sr. She’s 80 years old and doesn’t even recognize her own shadow. It might be


    a waste of time.”


    “Come on, let’s just go and visit her. I came all this way, and I want to see my godfather’s home.”


    Thomas shrugged. “Alright then.”


    The Tanner residence was just a short half-hour drive away from the Webb family home. As soon as


    they pulled up, the butler, Harry Bet, came out to greet them.


    “Ah, Thomas. Mr. Tanner is not at home.”


    “This is Uncle Adrien’s goddaughter. I brought her to see Mrs. Tanner Sr.,” Thomas exined to the


    butler, who eyed Kisa suspiciously. “Harry, don’t worry. This is Mrs. Kooper from Calthon. She’s visiting


    and wanted to see Mrs. Tanner Sr. too.”


    Harry’s face rxed into a grin. “Oh, pleasee in. She’s out back, soaking up the sun.”


    Thomas handed over the gifts he brought and led Kisa to the backyard. Clearly, Thomas was a regr


    here and knew the Tanner family like the back of his hand.


    As Kisa looked back, she noticed that the butler was making a phone call, probably to tell Adrien about


    her surprise visit. To avoid any suspicion, she would have to call him herselfter and exin


    everything.


    Mrs. Tanner Sr. was indeed in the backyard,zily sunbathing while cradling a cat. Kisa looked around


    at the vast mansion, which seemed eerily quiet. She turned to Thomas and whispered. Doesn’t anyone


    else from the Tanner familye to visit Mrs. Tanner Sr.?”


    “Besides Uncle Adrien and Granny, there’s no one else. Since I can remember, Uncle Adrien’s always


    been a lone wolf with no children.”


    Kisa frowned. It did not make sense to her that someone as charming and wealthy as Adrien would still


    be single, unless he was pining for a woman he could not have. That was why Adrien’s interest in


    Carolyn seemed so strange to her.


    The two approached the elderlydy, who beamed at them with a face full of wrinkles. Kisa felt a pang


    of sadness as she watched her.


    “Oh, Adrien, Molly. You guys are back,” Mrs. Tanner Sr. eximed.


    Kisa looked at Thomas in confusion, and he leaned in and whispered, “Mrs. Tanner Sr. thinks I’m Uncle


    Adrien, and you’re his ex-girlfriend, Molly.”


    Kisa nodded in understanding.


    Mrs. Tanner Sr. suddenly reached out with her frail hand and grabbed Kisa. “Molly, you need to hurry


    up and marry Adrien and give me a chubby little grandson to y with. I’m so bored.”


    Kisa yed along. “It’sing. It’sing.”

    “And Adrien, what is the hold up? Molly isn’t about to ditch you just because you’re not making money.


    She’s sticking with you even though she’s fighting with her family. You better treat her right, you hear


    me?”


    “Yes, yes, I will,” Thomas chimed in, also going along with Mrs. Tanner Sr.’s delusion.


    But Mrs. Tanner Sr. suddenly burst into tears. “Why didn’t you two end up together? You have such a


    good rtionship. Why didn’t it work out?”


    Kisa felt perplexed. ‘Is Mrs. Tanner Sr. suffering from dementia, or is her memory just mixed up?’


    Suddenly, Thomas’s phone rang.
