drian grunted in acknowledgment. Philip wasn’t happy with that and growled, “What’s with that attitude?”
> appease him, Adrian hurriedly switched tacks. He smiled and said, “I’ll commit everything you said to Bart, Grandpa. I know what I should do.”
nly then did Philip smile again, satisfied with his response. Even if Adrian couldn’t do it, Philip would atch him and make sure he could!
e turned to Farrah with a loving smile. The more he saw of her, the more he liked her. “If Adrian ever istreats you, tell me, okay? I’ll teach him a lesson!”
arrah didn’t think it was appropriate to say anything, so she pursed her lips. Philip continued, “He’s ways been intelligent, and I’m sure he’ll work hard at his job. He might not be the best at it now, but he’ll efinitely become more of a family man in the future. He’ll also learn to love you.”
Te nodded. “I know, Grandpa. I trust him.”

hilip, on the other hand, couldn’t contain his happiness. “Ah, we human beings really need drive and pirit to live well. Without them, you’re just like a candle flickering in the wind.”
e released Adrian’s and Farrah’s hands and looked at them, sounding pleased as he continued, “I’m enuinely happy to see you two together–I’m sure this will keep me going for another 20 years!
I’m lucky, I might even see your children get married! So, you two have to hurry up and give me some eat–grandchildren. That’s my biggest wish now!”
eep inside, Adrian was thoroughly against the idea. However, he didn’t let it show as he brushed Philip
Meanwhile, Farrah was cautiously toeing the line. She needed to keep Philip happy while not etting Adrian–she still needed him to help save Jodle.
ih, right Farrah, have you moved in with Adrian yet?” Philip asked. This was a serious issue for him.
drian hurriedly said, “Yeah, she has.”
hilip beamed. “That’s great.”
ow that Philip was in better spirits, the doctor said he could be discharged the next day. Adrian wanted stay to accompany him, but he chased the former out, saying, “How can you spend your wedding night the hospital? Don’t you know who you should be spending time with now?”
fter leading Farrah out of the hospital, Adrian stopped on the steps before the entrance and said, “Your other will be brought to your rented apartment, so you can wait there for her. Remember to move in ith me as soon as possible. I’m worried Grandpa will do a surprise check.”

It was good at least she wouldn’t have to muster the courage to tell him about her family. Still, she felt like she’d been stripped bare before him.
Also, he was so mysterious and hard to read. All she knew about him was his name and that he had a grandfather he cared deeply about. He was not as simple as Philip had made him out to be–a man with a house, a car, and a steady job.

When Farrah arrived home in the cab, she saw Jodle standing outside the apartment building. She had a suitcase with her, and her hair was messy. The wound on her forehead stood out like a sore thumb, and she looked disheveled.
“Mom!” Farrah ran to her. They threw their arms around each other. “Are you okay?”
She brought Jodie to her rented apartment, where she quickly got the first–aid kit to tend to Jodie’s wound. Her tone carried a sense of maturity that didn’t match her age. “You’re staying here from now on, Mom.
“Steven doesn’t know where this is, so you can focus on getting Mason through his senior year. This is an important year for him.”
“What about you? Where will you stay if Mason and I move in here?” Jodie looked at her worriedly. “Your father has already taken 200 thousand dollars from that man; I doubt this matter is over.”
Farrah disagreed. She had a feeling everything had already been taken care of. She pulled out her marriage certificate and showed it to Jodie. “I have a place to stay, I overheard Steven when he made that call last night, so I got married,”
