The First Heir

After saying that, the old man raised his hand, exposing his forearm. He could hardly control the violent trembling, even if he was a holy-tier powerhouse.

“I fought him once over this matter. I wanted to teach this rascal a lesson, but I didn’t expect to be so useless now that I’m old.”

Philip could tell that the other party was helpless.

“The food is ready, Mr. Clarke…” The old lady cleared the table and diffused the awkward atmosphere.

Gladys was the first to run over and sit down at the dining table. The food was mostly home-cooked dishes but tasted delicious.

The old lady said to the old man, “If you’d told me earlier that there’d be a guest, I’d have gone shopping.”

“I get it,” the old man said impatiently as he ate.

“See, he’s so impatient after just a few words.”

Pursing her lips, the old lady served Philip some food and said, “Have some more. If it’s not enough, I’ll keep cooking.”

Philip nodded. Putting aside their identities and his son’s problem, Philip looked forward to such a retirement life.

After lunch, Philip and the old man sat at the dining table again. The old man turned on the monitor with the news playing on a loop.
