When Andrew did not say anything, Elsa frowned and pursed her lips. "So you are gonna give me the silent treatment now? Will you ever grow up Andrew?"

Whenever Andrew didn't want to continue discussing a topic, he would become extremely silent. It was his way saying that he was done talking and wasn't interested to continue.

"I know you don't wanna talk about it but it's important, okay?" she added. "It's high time you start thinking about it."

When Rachael approached them, she could easily sense the tension between Elsa and Andrew.

"What's wrong? Is everything okay?" She inquired as she looked at both of them simultaneously.

"Dada and Mama…fight—" Edward pouted his lips and extended his arms towards Rachael.

Taking the little one in her arm, Rachel frowned. "You both are fighting?"

When Edward buried his face on her neck, she gently patted his back to comfort him.

Before they could explain themselves, Rachael remarked, "Even if you both wanna fight, at least don't do it in front of the kid."

"We weren't fighting," Andrew answered.

"Yeah, we were just discussing something important." Elsa patted Edward's back and sighed, "Honey, we weren't fighting."

"Rach, I'll freshen up first." Without waiting for her reply, Andrew left.

Rachael wanted to follow him but she decided against it. He was clearly not in his best mood, she thought it would be best to leave him alone for some time.

"Oh I see a new face." Elsa looked at Joshua and smiled. "Is he a friend or family?"

"He is Joshua, our first cousin," George answered.

"Joshua—" Elsa slowly approached him. "That's a very familiar name—" She paused for a while and pretended to observe his face. "And a very familiar face as well."

Joshua awkwardly cleared his throat and was about to say something when Elsa threw an unexpected question at him.

"By any chance, have we met before?"

Taken aback by her sudden question, he nervously fumbled. Of course they had met before. In fact, they had crossed paths several times.

Since Igor had a one sided deep feeling for Elsa, he used to often send Joshua to either keep an eye on her or to deliver the gifts and flowers he bought for her.

A couple of years back, Igor had shamelessly kidnapped Elsa to take her for a forced date. Joshua was the one who was actively involved in the whole kidnapping process.

"N-No, I don't think so," Joshua nervously chuckled.

"Oh is it?" Pausing for a while, she remarked, "Now that I think about it, you do look very similar to a very good friend of mine. His name is Snoopy."

Joshua: " "

"Snoopy? Is that a real name?" When Elsa nodded, George chuckled, "Why would someone name their child Snoopy?"

Joshua: " "

"It's a cool name." Joshua felt obligated to defend his infamous second name.

"You think it's cool?" George shrugged. "Well, I feel it gives a very cartoony vibe."

"Anyway, it was nice meeting you Joshua," Elsa smiled at him before taking Edward from Rachael's arm.

"Are you leaving?"

"Yes—" She glanced at her wrist watch. "Justin will be home soon and I am not done packing."

"Do you want me to drop you?" George inquired.

"No, that's okay, I'll take a cab."

"Why would you take a cab? Let George drop you." When Elsa hesitated, Rsacgael insisted, "Don't think so much, my brother definitely drives better than a cab driver."

Left with no other choice, Elsa agreed.

After Elsa left, Joshua finally breathed a sigh of relief. When he left Igor's side, he had thought it was the most difficult thing he would ever have to do but who would have thought meeting the Volkov's one after another unarmed, would turn out to be not only difficult but also stressful.

He had already met Andrew and Elsa, that was two down three. But he was yet to face the worst one, Owen Volkov. The mere thought of crossing paths with him, gave him chills.

Unlike Andrew and Elsa who were a little considerate and sensible of the surrounding, Owen was completely different. Joshua was sure that he would definitely overreact and try to snap his throat as soon as they see each other.

"Joshua, I wanna talk to you about something." Pausing for a while, Rachael added, "But not now. I'll talk to you after I come back."

"What is it?"

"I'll tell you later." Without waiting for his reply, she walked away.

[Hans Corporation]

"So you finally got the time to see your old man?" the old man frowned as he looked at his grandson.

"I was busy settling everything down," Justin answered as he approached him. He then gave him a hug. "It's good to see you again, grandpa."

Grandpa Han's expression softened when Justin hugged him. His heart ached but he finally felt at peace.

Theodre Hans was the chairman and CEO of Hans Corporation. He was Justin's maternal grandfather. After losing his son and daughter at a very young age, he lost his wife as well who couldn't take the trauma of losing both her kids. Since then, he had been all by himself.

Since there was no direct heir who could take over the company after Theodre, all the members of the Hans family started coming forward to replace him. But Theodre was adamant not to let go of something he had worked so hard on. He had no intention of handing over the company to his greedy relatives who only cared about the money.

Initially, he wanted to hand over the company to Abraham, Justin's elder brother. But because of his sudden demise, Justin was the sole heir of all properties under the Hans family including the company.

Theodre could rely and trust no one but Justin.

He had been trying to convince Justin to take over the company for almost three years but the latter kept turning him down. Only he knew how happy and satisfied he felt when Justin called and told him he was settling down in the city and was ready to take over the company.
