Alex smiled as he closed the door behind her. He took out his phone and was about to call Andrew when he saw his grandfather's call. " Hello sir""Hey son, I have good news for you." He said with a hint of happiness in his voice. " Good news?" Alex muttered taking a seat on the couch before him. " What is it about Grampa?" He asked picking his teeth. " What do you think about being engaged to Henrietta?" " Engaged? We haven't even gotten to that level yet.
