The old man called his secretary, Jane to make necessary preparations.
He will not let the chance to slip away and not have a grandchild.
'Ha! I know that that was all a façade. Don't try to fool this old man. I'm sure you will come to love each other on what I will do. I'm sure of it.' he a.s.sured in his mind.

Well, truth to be told, he wanted to see his great grandchildren before he will join Alma at the afterlife.
