“I would like to make a toast…to my grandson and his lovely wife,” the older man began, and everyone present cheered quickly while the couple hugged as they looked at Chris.
“I wanted to thank them for all the work they’ve done on my house… because I’m going to enjoy it for the rest of my life.”
Because the couple’s friends were under the impression that Chris was moving out, Chris’s toast surprised them.
Meanwhile, Peter and Hannah were stunned, confusion registering on their faces. “Did you know they came here under the impression that I was going to die soon?
They remodeled the entire house, gave away some of my things, and started working on it thinking it was already their own.
And when I returned from the hospital, which they didn’t expect, they were going to just up and leave me here with a half-remodeled, empty house.” he told all the guests, who started to notice how awkward the night was turning out to be.
“Grandpa, why don’t we speak privately for a second?” Peter suggested, but Chris shook his head.
“No need. I heard you two speaking that day.
So you two came here, telling your mother you were going to take care of me but decided to take this house as your own instead.
Well, that’s NEVER going to happen, Peter. I already revised my will.
This house is going to charity when I’m gone,” he revealed, shocking everyone.
Hannah was red-faced and wanted to make a scene but didn’t want more embarrassment.
Chris called everyone’s attention once again. “Now…,” he cleared his throat and raised his voice.
“EVERYONE GET OUT OF MY HOUSE RIGHT NOW BEFORE I CALL THE POLICE!” Peter and Hannah’s friends didn’t have to be told twice.
They scrambled to get away, and Peter kept yelling at Chris because he still wanted to get a word. But the older man didn’t want to hear any explanations.
“GET OUT!” he demanded and Peter and his wife left.
The following day, Chris told Angelina precisely what her son had done and what they were planning together.
He didn’t tell her sooner because he knew it would break his daughter’s heart. But she had to know now that everything was out ther Angelina was ashamed of her kid but didn’t like how Chris deceived them either.
She couldn’t do anything about it though. “You’re right, Dad.
It’s your house.
But are you comfortable severing your relationship with Peter just like that?” “Honey, he severed it the day he decided to kill me prematurely and claim my house.
Watch out because who knows what they might do with you,” he warned his daughter, and their conversation ended.
Chris lived for 11 more years. And as he intended, his lawyer sold his house and donated the proceeds, along with the rest of Chris’s estate, to a charity for senior citizens.
