The First Heir by Master Yu Who Smokes

Chapter 225

Philip knew what he had done at Beacon Pharmaceutical was overbearing and somewhat cruel. It was only understandable that

Wynn had become suspicious of him. Should he tell her 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, she 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 he

loved by adhering to her conditions, he 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 he said,

“No no no, not at all.” If Wynn found out about those ridiculous and despotic things he had done in the past, there was a chance

she 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 her 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, she believed him. She said, “It was an engagement party, and you ran away without saying anything. You didn’t

even give her a reason or an explanation. If I were in her 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 her 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

her 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 he had left his home seven years ago

in search of. Wynn rolled her eyes at him 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 her 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 her family.

No, she had to prepare for it. Even if it was only her work, she had to thrive for success. She had to

make Philip’s parents at least recognize one of her 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 her family background was superior.

Additionally, she was pretty and strong. She was the perfect candidate as Philip’s wife who was

capable of helping him manage his family and restaurant. As Wynn thought about it, she started to feel

inferior.

Consequently, she became moody. Philip was unaware of this as he 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, he 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 her house. When Philip entered the

house, he could feel the chilly air. Martha was seated on the sofa, and it was obvious that she was

mad. Additionally, she 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 she had prepared earlier and struck

Philip with it. As she hit him, she 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 her hip and pointed at Philip with the other before shrieking at him 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, she was scolded by her father in the Yates Manor was asked to scram back to

Riverdale. On the way back, she was humiliated and laughed at by her sister, Paula.
