"Right away."

The steward took the coat but suddenly spoke up before leaving. "Governor!"

"Hmm?"

Channing paused, looking up at the old steward, his gaze softening. "Is there something else?"

"Nothing."

The old steward hurriedly waved his hand, smiling warmly. "Congratulations on becoming a father."

Channing froze for a few seconds before a faint smile graced his cold features. "Thank you."

The steward was the first person to genuinely congratulate him.

"Go on inside. The old man is waiting for you."

"Yeah."

Only then did Channing turn and walk inside, the words "Congratulations on becoming a father" echoing in his mind.

It really was a title that felt both foreign and intimately familiar.

The moment Channing stepped inside, he was hit by the pungent smell of greasy food.

The old man hurriedly scrambled out from under the desk, pretending to be angry. "You brat, look at what you've done."

"You have a great-grandson now. I'd say I've done a pretty good thing." Channing poured a glass of water and walked over, handing it to his grandfather.

"Great-grandson?"

The old man froze for a moment, astonishment filling his eyes. "How many months? You know the gender?"

"Over five months." Channing sat down next to him, the corners of his lips curling up slightly. "We checked. It's a boy."

"Is he healthy?" the old man asked eagerly.

"Very healthy." Channing smiled. "He's already kicking and saying hello from inside."
