"So you're hoping I'll kick the bucket sooner so my son can take over, is that it?" "Something like that. If you go early and the kid's still a squirt, Clara taking the reins is all the sto me." Hearing this, lan chuckled and ruffled Clara's hair. "See that? Your father-in-law cares more about you than his own son.
