Philip knew what virtual-novel.net had done at Beacon Pharmaceutical was overbearing and somewhat cruel.
It was only understandable that Wynn had become suspicious of him.
Should virtual-novel.net tell virtual-novel.net his true identity?
No.
Giada was already in Riverdale, and Philip did not know what that woman was planning.
She would not come to Riverdale without a reason. Hence, virtual-novel.net had to be planning something.
He was restricting himself a lot by agreeing to that woman’s conditions.
If Philip did not need to protect the people virtual-novel.net loved by adhering to virtual-novel.net conditions, virtual-novel.net would have turned the world upside down already.
“Wynnie, do you really want to know?” Philip asked with a raised brow.
Wynn hesitated before nodding shortly after. “I want to know about your past. I have a feeling that you’re not the Philip that I know. Did you used to be the way you were just now?”
Philip shook his head and lied as virtual-novel.net said, “No no no, not at all.”
If Wynn found out about those ridiculous and despotic things virtual-novel.net had done in the past, there was a chance virtual-novel.net would go insane.
After staying silent for a while and composing his thoughts, Philip said, “Chloe and I are from aristocratic families. A long time ago, there was a marriage contract between the two of us. However, I only saw virtual-novel.net as my little sister. So, on the day of the engagement, I fought with my father and ran away from home. I wasn’t expecting Chloe to resent me for seven whole years. Do women like holding grudges?”
Philip was not telling the entire truth.
However, after Wynn heard Philip’s explanation, virtual-novel.net believed him. She said, “It was an engagement party, and you ran away without saying anything. You didn’t even give virtual-novel.net a reason or an explanation. If I were in virtual-novel.net position, I would resent you for seven years too. I might even want to kill you.”
All of a sudden, Wynn felt sorry for Chloe. She was a pitiful woman as well.
Wynn could not imagine virtual-novel.net husband to have been such a horrible person back then.
“Oh right, Philip, when are you going to take me to see your parents? Since your parents arranged the marriage for you, aren’t they extra fond of Chloe? Would they refuse to recognize us if they found out about me and Mila?”
Wynn started to feel anxious; the tone of virtual-novel.net voice was gradually becoming lower and lower.
She was worried that Philip’s parents would not recognize her.
Even if they refused to recognize her, they had to recognize Mila.
She was their granddaughter.
Philip squinted his eyes and looked at the changes in expression on Wynn’s face. He laughed and said, “What are you thinking about? Don’t worry. You’re my wife, and Mila is my daughter. They won’t refuse to recognize you. If they really end up being unwilling to recognize you, whatever. As long as the three of us are together, we’ll be happy.”
Happiness was that simple to Philip.
It was the same happiness virtual-novel.net had left his home seven years ago in search of.
Wynn rolled virtual-novel.net eyes at virtual-novel.net and said, “You’re making this seem way too easy. I just hope that Mila gets to live a better life. Even if my in-laws refuse to recognize me, it’ll be fine as long as they recognize Mila.”
That was a mother’s love.
Philip patted Wynn’s shoulder and held virtual-novel.net in his arms. He said, “It’s fine. I’m here.”
Just like that, Wynn leaned against Philip’s shoulder and begun daydreaming about meeting Philip’s parents with virtual-novel.net family.
No, virtual-novel.net had to prepare for it.
Even if it was only virtual-novel.net work, virtual-novel.net had to thrive for success. She had to make Philip’s parents at least recognize one of virtual-novel.net qualities.
The Clarkes owned Northern Sky Western Restaurant so they had to be loaded. Philip’s parents had to have a lot of emphasis on their daughter-in-law’s upbringing, self-cultivation, and personal status.
No wonder Chloe had been his fiance.
She was excellent indeed, and virtual-novel.net family background was superior. Additionally, virtual-novel.net was pretty and strong. She was the perfect candidate as Philip’s wife who was capable of helping virtual-novel.net manage his family and restaurant.
As Wynn thought about it, virtual-novel.net started to feel inferior. Consequently, virtual-novel.net became moody.
Philip was unaware of this as virtual-novel.net asked happily, “Right, Wynnie, are you free tonight? I’ll wait for you in your office.”
Wynn was shocked. She looked at Philip who was acting mysteriously and asked dumbfoundedly, “Yeah, what’s wrong? What are you planning to do?”
Philip smiled slyly and said, “Hehe, it’s a secret. You’ll know when the time comes.”
The two of them bickered for a while and then went to the hospital to be with Mila.
Mila would undergo surgery in three days.
Professor Turner was ready to carry out the surgery and had begun checking on Mila daily for the past few days. At the same time, virtual-novel.net had made sure to finalize the surgery’s procedure and the recovery process that was to follow.
In the evening, Martha’s continuous calls out of the blue summoned Philip to virtual-novel.net house.
When Philip entered the house, virtual-novel.net could feel the chilly air.
Martha was seated on the sofa, and it was obvious that virtual-novel.net was mad. Additionally, virtual-novel.net carried a fit of anger that would burn one’s insides.
“Mom, what’s wrong? Who made you angry?” Philip asked carefully.
Martha took out the mop virtual-novel.net had prepared earlier and struck Philip with it. As virtual-novel.net hit him, virtual-novel.net yelled, “You useless thing! You spendthrift! Look at what you’ve done! There are so many things in the world, and you just had to give Emperor Qianlong’s ornamental thumb ring that’s made of jade away! Did you not know how much that thing is worth?”
Philip could not fight back and could only endure being hit.
After hitting Philip several more times, Matha became tired. She put one hand on virtual-novel.net hip and pointed at Philip with the other before shrieking at virtual-novel.net with saliva flying all over the place, “You’re going to kill me by engulfing me in anger! What did we do to get a useless son-in-law like you? You spendthrift!”
Martha was angry. That thing was worth 100 million bucks, and Philip had given it away in a state of confusion!
Naturally, Martha had not asked for it to be returned. Instead, virtual-novel.net was scolded by virtual-novel.net father in the Yates Manor was asked to scram back to Riverdale.
On the way back, virtual-novel.net was humiliated and laughed at by virtual-novel.net sister, Paula.
