Get Spoiled after Travelling into A Novel

Chapter 260 Farewell Philip was unconcerned with what others thought; his only priority was locating his old leather shoes, which he needed help remembering where he had put them.

Once he found the shoes and flung them towards Thomas, he relaxed on the couch with a satisfied exhale.

"Get these cleaned and bring them back toby tomorrow. I plan to wear them," he declared confidently. Though used to taking orders as Commander Scathings, Thomas couldn't help but be surprised by the appearance and smell of the shoes before him.

"You!" Philip held his smile, a touch of self-satisfaction in his look. "Sfolks think getting older gives them a pass to be bullheaded, right?" Thomas initially leaned towards a more measured reaction, but Philip's jab got under his skin. "Knock off that rubbish! I'm a man of my word. Not everyone's as stubborn as you. Get those shoes cleaned!" Feeling a sense of relief flood him, Philip found even the premium coffee he sipped tasted sweeter.

Oh, the sweet taste of relief.

With Thomas on board, Frank and Doug, under a bit of stress, cautiously agreed.

They reassured themselves by thinking that if they didn't manage to clean the shoes this month, Philip might overlook it, or the boots would somehow be pristine by the tthey got around to them.

Once they had said goodbye to the Burnetts after their meal, the older men got ready to leave, clearly tired Before they went, Philip couldn't resist reminding Thomas to pick up his shoes for a polish. He joked that if Thomas forgot, a drum band would personally bring them over the next day This comment really annoyed Thomas.

Chapter 260 Farewell As they got to the door, Thomas called to Milly, who was not too far away, "Hey, kid, cover here. I've got something to ask you." Milly looked surprised.

Thomas wanted to talk to her? Before she could say anything, Philip said, “Hold on, are you trying to scare her just because you can't deal with a challenge? You're not young anymore. Don't you feel even a bit embarrassed?" Thomas's face turned stern. "I need a word with her." Philip jumped in, "Well then, talk here. Why do you need privacy?" Thomas remained silent.

How che wasn't this protective before? I remembered how passionately the man had returned from his treatment abroad, determined to get rid of the girl chasing the Burnetts' fortune because of her unclear background! And now, he seemed to be defending her? If only the timing were different, he could have shown his true self, proving how easily he could switch personas. He's got more masks than a Broadway actor.

Even though Milly didn't know Commander Scathings well, she could tell their upcoming talk was crucial. She stepped up, catching Philip's hesitant look, and said, "Grandpa, I need to have a quick word with Old Mr. Scathings. I'll be back soon." Philip's eyes went wide, "Just call him Thomas! You don't need to treat him like your grandpa!" Milly was speechless.

Wasn't he the one who toldnot to call him Grandpa before? Besides, isn't it rude to call an elder by his name? Thomas was visibly upset, pointing at Philip. "You're being disrespectful to your elders!" Chapter 260 Farewell Philip said, "Well, you're not acting like one!" "Then you have no shame!" Everyone remained silent.

It only took a few minutes before their argument picked up again.

Seeing things were about to escalate, Jordan quickly intervened to break up argument between the two seniors, "Con, Grandpa, Old Mr. Scathings, we've got an audience here. Let's not set a bad example." the He didn't want to jump into the fray, but the way things were heating up, they might go at it till dawn if he didn't step in.

Milly was busy getting ready for school. Her days were jam-packed. She had to pack up her apartment and couldn't afford to spend ton this . Milly was on a tight schedule.

"Old Mr. Scathings, why don't you and Milly have a side chat? I'll talk with Grandpa." Thomas huffed, straightened his slightly ruffled collar from his spat with Philip, and looked at Milly beside him. His face softened a bit, showing a touch of warmth.

"Kid, cwith me." Milly obediently followed him.

Thomas took a moment, overseeing her. His look was soft and non-threatening, making Milly feel at ease.

He smiled and asked, "Kid, how old are you now?" Milly answered, "Eighteen."/ "Eighteen, you're an adult now." They stood in a dim corner of the yard, the streetlights not fully reaching Thomas's face, hiding his emotions. But his eves seemed wistful, solid vet gentle.
