“Emily has a life that Pam and I know nothing about. We barely met our grandchildren all because we kicked her out for being a lesbian and because she had been involved in a secret relationship. I know now that it’s not her fault we haven’t seen her or our grandchildren but ours.” Wayne explained to Byron, Peter, and Tom.
At that moment, Byron’s grandchildren came running to him and asking him if they could get ice cream. “Grandpa? Can we get ice cream if we call Mom and ask her for permission?” Ezra Junior asked Byron.
“We can if you call and ask your parents for permission.” Byron told his grandchildren.
“OK, Grandpa!” they said.
“Mom and Dad left me my cell and that if we needed anything, we needed to call Dad’s phone from mine and ask them. Hopefully, they answer.” Ezra Junior said.
Ezra Junior called his father’s cell and waited for his father to answer while Byron took the rest of his grandchildren and sat by his friends who were still watching their grandchildren. “Hello?” Ezra asked when the phone finally rang.
“Dad! Is Mom there with you?” Ezra Junior asked.
“No. She’s not here with me.” Ezra answered back.
“Grandpa told us that we needed to call you and Mom for permission if we wanted to get ice cream. May we please go get ice cream?” Ezra Junior asked.
“Yes, you may. Call your mother and tell her that I gave you permission. We’ll be back Monday. I love you.” Ezra told his oldest son.
“Okay. I love you too.” Ezra Junior told Ezra.
“Did you call Dad?” Ashley asked her older brother.
“Yeah, I did. Dad said yes and to call Mom and tell her that he gave her permission.” Ezra Junior said.
Byron, Tom, Peter, and Wayne decided to bond with their grandchildren while Ella, Ashley, Veronica, and Pam were talking about how happy they were that their eldest daughters were back not knowing that their younger children were overhearing. “Byron and I missed Aria so much that we decided to have more children because we missed her so much.” Ella said.
“Tom and I missed Hanna so much that our love for Hanna brought us back together leading Tom to give in to his mother and leave Isabel plus we had more children because we missed her so much.” Ashley said.
Aria was busy working on her next best seller and had almost the entire manuscript completed yet she was trying to figure out whether to have a series with that novel. “Should I have a series?” Aria asked Ezra.
“Whatever you want to do. You know that I’ll support you no matter what.” Ezra told Aria.
“I think I will do a series. I need to let Susan know that I’ve decided to have this novel be the first in a series.”
Aria decided that she wanted to dedicate the novel to Ezra and their children because they were the most important things in her life. She told her children that she loved them but she had no idea about Ezra’s past in which she was about to discover that her husband had a secret child from when he was a teenager. “Hello, Ezra.” Aria heard a woman say.
