The First Heir

Philip knew they would not believe him, so he purposely said that.

Sometimes, people would not want to believe the truth.

Martha did not say anything. It was unclear what she was thinking about. Then, she said in a commanding tone, “You don’t need to go to Wynn’s grandfather’s birthday that’s happening in two days. Just stay home.”

Martha’s father would be celebrating his 70th birthday the day after tomorrow. She did not want to bring this cowardly man over.

If not, she would be shamed endlessly by her family members from her maternal home.

Plus, the old master had always been unhappy about Wynn’s marriage. Would she be congratulating her father or infuriating him by bringing Philip back?

Philip expected this, so he did not say anything. He took out a box from his pocket and said, “Mom, this is the gift I prepared for the old master.”

Martha looked at the embroidered box on the table and murmured, “What’s this? The box looks so bad. Are you giving him something that’s only worth a few dozen bucks?”

Martha did not even want to open the box to take a look. She did not want to dirty her eyes.

What good thing could Philip afford to give the old master?

Would it not be a joke for her to bring this box to the old master?
