?Chapter 1605:


    So, she stepped in quickly to keep things from going downhill. “What Cedric means is—you’re wee to visit, but there are three conditions. If you’re okay with them, you cane in.”<fna2d9> ??? ????? ???????s ??? ?????s??? ?? f?ndnovel</fna2d9>


    Hamilton narrowed his eyes at her. “Three conditions? I’ming to visit my grandson, and you’re giving me terms? How is that fair?”


    But before he could finishining, Cedric was already turning around to shut the door.


    That was when it hit Hamilton—the call hadn’t dropped. Cedric had just hung up on him, in and simple.


    “Alright, fine!” Hamilton blurted, trying to soundposed but clearly flustered. “What are the conditions?”


    Cedric’s stare was ice cold. “First, don’t bring anything into my house unless I say so.”


    Hamilton scowled. “And the second?”


    “Second, don’t take anything out of here. Not even a scrap of trash. Unless I allow it.”


    Hamilton’s scowl deepened. “Seriously? What do you think I’m going to steal from you? This is absurd! What’s thest condition?”


    Cedric’s gaze was cold and unflinching. “Third, don’t act like we’re one big happy family. No calling anyone your son or grandson unless we say it’s okay.”


    That one nearly sent Hamilton over the edge. His face twitched with fury, his fists clenched tightly at his sides. But when his eyes met Cedric’s, something in that steady re made him swallow his anger.


    “Fine!” he snapped, his voice rough with frustration. “Your wife’s pregnant, I get it. I’ll y nice.”


    Behind that forced agreement, Hamilton’s mind was already churning—once the baby arrived, he’d make sure Cedric knew who really held the reins.


    ???€$? ?н?t??я? 1π ?alиoνε??.???


    Cedric didn’t waste another breath on him; he turned and walked straight back to the kitchen.


    Hamilton scoffed. “So this is how I get treated? Ie here with nothing but good intentions, and you people treat me like a criminal.”


    Grumbling under his breath, he made his way outside to inspect the nts.


    But before he could wander too far, Dani called out to him.


    Hamilton was visibly annoyed. “What now? Are you both taking turns ordering me around today? What do you want?”


    Dani decided it was time to keep him busy. She handed him a garbage bag.


    “There’s something off about these things. Take a look.”


    Hamilton peeked inside the bag. It was full of so-called gifts from his siblings.


    A cold snort escaped him as he muttered, “What’s the matter? They’re just…” But then he spotted something—an almost invisible wire sticking out from a doll.


    He crouched down, picked it up, and gave the wire a tug.


    Then, with a cold chuckle, he leaned closer to the doll and spoke into its hidden receiver. “Hey, Jules, are you home? Sit tight. I’ll be sending your precious little doll back to you real soon.”
