“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 nonchalantly. “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 Bennett, 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 explained 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 relaxed into a grin. “Oh, please come 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 regular
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 herself later and explain
everything.
Mrs. Tanner Sr. was indeed in the backyard, lazily 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 family come 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 elderly lady, 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. exclaimed.
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 play with. I’m so bored.”
Kisa played along. “It’s coming. It’s coming.”
“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 relationship. 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.
