    Chapter 105 A Secret Kept


    South shook his leg smugly. He could feel his father’s delight going off the charts. “Are we going to visit


    Great-grandpa then?” Ss nodded. “Yes.” They exited the KFC restaurant and went into the car. Ss


    kept looking at his son through the rear-view mirror, and the more he looked, the cuter South became.


    No wonder 1 like him so much. There were already clues that told him this though. When South went to


    Nn Residencest time, he called Merlin ‘Great-grandpa,’ and the first time Ss went to his house,


    South gave him an apple. Both of them eschewed spicy hot pot, and when Gianna said South’s father


    had passed, the boy spewed his water out. Ss never expected the woman he wanted to find was


    right around the corner, and she had his kid. South’s right. I let too many clues pass by me too easily.


    South grinned, and he thought Ss would have a hard time sleeping tonight. Once they came to Nn


    Residence, they went straight to Merlin’s bedroom.


    Merlin was shocked, for he didn’t expect South toe again today, so he called out happily, “Come


    here, South.”


    South went over, smiling. “Great-grandpa.” Merlin’s beard was twitching with delight. “Howe you’re


    together with Ss?” South looked at Ss. “Uncle Ss came to pick me up.” Merlin looked at Ss


    too, and he noticed Ss looked unusually happy today. Ss was usually inscrutable, but he was all


    smiles today. “Something good happened?” Ss wanted to tell him, but because he promised South to


    keep this a secret, he bit his tongue. “Nothing. South told me a good joke.” Merlin looked at South.


    “Oh? And what might it be?” A joke? Yeah right. Just great, Daddy. Luckily, he had a treasure trove of


    jokes, so he pulled one out. “There’s this one time someone asked the Inte which summer camp


    she should send her child to. Everyone gave her good ideas, but she refused them. Well, that’s


    confusing, but then she added that she’s an anti-vaxxer, so her son wasn’t vinated. Then get this:


    someone gave the perfect answer. You know what he said?” South paused for dramatic effect, and


    Ss and Merlin shook their heads. “He said, ‘Yeah, there’s a perfect summer camp for your kid. It’s


    called the cemetery.” Both of them guffawed at the punchline. “Oh my god, he killed her!” Merlin’s beard


    was almost dancing with delight, and South grinned. “One . more game, South. I’m going to win this


    time.” “Sure.” South nodded. They set the chess board, and Ss stayed with them, though he didn’t


    feel bored. Instead, he felt content, like he was reliving his childhood. When he yed chess with


    Merlin, Merlin would always hold back, though sometimes he would let loose so Ss would want to get


    even. Now, Merlin was doing the same thing to South. The scene almost made him tear up. Grandpa,


    he’s my son and your great-grandson. Ss and South stayed at the residence until one before they


    left. Merlin stopped Ss and whispered, “Did you read the file I sent you, Rocky?” “I did.” Ss was


    surprised. “Read it closely.” Merlin frowned.


    That caught Ss by surprise, so he grunted, though he was perplexed. On the way home, he still


    thought about that cryptic message his grandfather left him. “What’s your n?” South quipped. Ss


    was surprised, and his mindgged for a bit. “What?”
