10 Ben vs Grandpa Mark

When the car stopped in front of the bakery, Ben got out of the car and looked at his grandfather with a ' Don't disturb me..' look before entering the shop.

Mark Harris smiled wryly and followed him into the shop. He sat on a table diagonal to the table where Ben sat. Ben glared at his shameless grandfather for a while before turning away.

Ben looked around and his sight stopped on Bella's busy figure. On seeing the familiar figure, Ben's face immediately lit up and he smiled while waving his hand at her " Sis Bella..."

Old Mark's eyes almost popped out on seeing this scene. His grandson was not even willing to speak with him, but he was smiling and waving happily at this girl. He immediately felt sad and bitter in his heart.

Mark Harris followed his grandson's sight and saw a girl waving back at the little boy " Ben boy.. Just a minute dear.."

Today, Bella was dressed in a black jean with a three-fourth sleeved yellow top. The dress was simple, but it looked good on that girl. The outfit coupled with that simple bun hairstyle made her look warm and cute. One look at that girl and Mark Harris's heart was immediately put at ease. The initial bitterness in his heart was extinguished immediately.

His first impression on her was good..

After a minute, Isabella strode happily towards Ben. " Hey champ, what do you want to order today?"

Ben put a finger on his lips and thought for a while before replying "Apple pie.."

Isabella smiled at him " Wait for a while.. Then I will look at your drawings.."

Ben nodded happily and Isabella went to the table where Mark Harris was seated. Mark Harris sub-consciously adjusted his dress and tie..

" Good day Sir, May I know your order?" Isabella smiled sweetly.Isabella was surprised on seeing the man's dress. Though the colors are weird, it seemed as if he liked parrots.. Isabella secretly thought that this man had a lot of courage to wear such bold colours. So, she liked his confidence and he looked a lot better in her eyes compared to all the fake ones out there..

So, she complimented him generously " By the way old sir, the clothes look good on you.."

Mark Harris looked at her and saw her genuine eyes without any ridicule.. So, his curved up and his impression on the girl improved a lot. So, he happily smiled and ordered " Thanks for your praise young lady.. I would like an apple pie.."

Isabella blanked out on seeing his smile " Old Sir, you look good when you smile.." Isabella sub-consciously spoke while looking at the old man in front of her. Mark Harris laughed in spite of himself. ' How many days it has been since he laughed like this..' he sighed in his heart and looked at the young girl before him. She looked good and he froze for a moment after looking at her grey eyes. ' Why did they look so familiar?' he thought to himself.

But, his thoughts are interrupted by Isabella's voice " Old sir, I will be right back with your order.. ". Isabella smiled and walked towards the kitchen.

Mark Harris tilted his head and his smile froze when he saw his grandson glaring at him as if he is a monster who kidnaps young ladies. Old Mark cried silent tears in his heart.

After a few minutes , Isabella returned with two apple pies in her hands. She placed one before Ben and ruffled his hair. Ben smiled happily and started eating.

Then she went towards the old man and placed another pie before him. " Enjoy your meal sir.." Isabella smiled politely.

After Isabella went into the kitchen, Ben smirked at his grandfather with a look of triumph as if saying ' Sis Isabella likes me more than you..'

Mark Harris face-palmed as he clearly understood his grandson's smirk. But, he was secretly happy because at least he received a smirk from his grandson..
