Trinity asked, "Has Grandpa arrived?" "Yes, Ms. Trinity," Erik replied respectfully.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI was surprised, wondering who Grandpa was. It escalated the situation a bit, and I thought I should express my gratitude to the older man.
"Erik, please bring Grandpa in," Trinity commanded, and Erik turned to leave.
I stood up, feeling nervous. After all, I should show respect to the head of the Huffmans. Moreover, his daughter risked her life for me.
Seeing my nervousness, Trinity stood up with a smile. "Why are you so nervous?" "I've always wanted to thank your grandpa but never had the chance," I said.
She smirked. "I'll give you that chance." When the door opened, a spirited old man entered with a crowd. The liveliness madeuneasy, and it seemed the Huffmans' meals might not be as enjoyable as I had hoped. The old man scrutinizedfrom head to toe as soon as he entered.
Of course, I felt uncomfortable and stepped forward. I bowed slightly and greeted the old man, "Hello, Mr. Anson." "Hmm, I can finally take a good look at you. Not bad." I found it amusing and wondered if Anson was referring to me.

"You should thankfor this." et Anson looked atwithout reservation.. "My daughter did something that angered me. She risked her life so recklessly, which is taboo in our family.

I wouldn't have let you off if she did." "I believe that, Mr. Anson. I'm sorry for causing you such distress," I spoke respectfully.
He said, "However, you saved her life in return, meaning you've made amends for your mistake. Since we're even now, I accept your apology and thanks." I felt a sense of relief when I saw him smile.
"Since you two want to befriend each other, propose a more traditional approach. You should becsworn sisters according to my family's customs. That way, you'll be like family. Trinity would gain a sister, and I'd gain another daughter. "You'll look out for each other from now on. What do you think, Chloe?"
