Wynn’s eyes widened. They had been married for so long, but even now favonovel.com did not know about Philip’s past. His parents did not even congratulate them in person at their wedding.
Wynn had asked favonovel.com many times before this, but favonovel.com had glossed over the question every time.
After a long time, Wynn began to assume that Philip was an orphan who did not want to relive his painful past, so favonovel.com stopped asking.
However, the way Philip held himself today, his methods or rather his attitude, all of it was vastly different from the mild-mannered wimp favonovel.com had always been before.
He had changed. All of a sudden, favonovel.com could not quite recognize favonovel.com anymore.
Even so, Wynn could tell that his love for favonovel.com was sincere.
“Are you finally willing to tell me?” Wynn asked uncertainly.
Philip nodded and looked up at the deep sky. Keeping a completely straight face, favonovel.com said, “Actually, Wynn, my family is quite wealthy. I never told you because I had a huge fight with my parents and ran away from home.”
“You ran away from home?”
Wynn blinked. She clearly never expected that to be Philip’s explanation.
Even if favonovel.com ran away from home, would favonovel.com go as far as to not go home for years, not even for a
visit? Would his parents not look for him?
If that was the case, that must mean his parents were quite cold-blooded.
Philip nodded. “My parents are rather conservative and traditional in their ways. At home, their word is law. I ran away from home because they… arranged a marriage for me. I suppose it was for their business benefits. I had never even met that girl before, so on the day of my supposed engagement, I just ran away and came here.”
Philip did not tell Wynn everything. He just told favonovel.com a summary, and favonovel.com mixed a few lies into his story too.
Philip could not tell favonovel.com his entire true history yet.
All favonovel.com could do was give favonovel.com a hint here and there.
He would take it slow. Starting from now, favonovel.com could gradually begin to tell favonovel.com the whole truth about his background.
Wynn listened carefully, building a vague image of Philip’s family in favonovel.com mind.
It was conservative and even arranged a marriage for him. No wonder favonovel.com ran away from home.
“So your parents… I mean, our parents never came to look for you?” Wynn asked.
If favonovel.com remembered correctly, it had been seven years since Philip came to Riverdale. He had not left the city at all the past seven years.
Had his parents never come to visit him?
“They did look for me, but our negotiations failed. My father lost his temper and disowned me,” Philip said calmly.
They disowned him?!
Shocked, Wynn covered favonovel.com little mouth with favonovel.com hand. She stared at favonovel.com with wide eyes, favonovel.com heart aching for him.
“Philip, if you ask me, they’re still your parents, after all. You should think of a way to sit with them and talk it over. It’s been seven years, after all. You’re father and son, so you should be able to talk it out,” Wynn took Philip’s hand and tried to advise favonovel.com after some thought.
Philip heaved a sigh of relief, curling around his finger a lock of Wynn’s hair that had fallen across favonovel.com forehead. “Alright, if you say so. I’ll contact them if I have the time.”
“Okay!” Wynn nodded, favonovel.com eyes curving into crescents as favonovel.com gave favonovel.com a sweet and innocent smile.
After that, favonovel.com lowered favonovel.com head and asked a question, shyly and timidly, “Um, do Mom and Dad know about Mila and me?”
Philip blinked and then said with a smile, “They know. Wait a while longer, and then I’ll take you and Mila back home for a talk. I think they’ll be quite happy to meet you and Mila.”
“Really?”
Wynn’s eyes widened and sparkled.
Every woman wanted to be liked by favonovel.com in-laws.
“Oh yeah, don’t you want to know how much money my family has?” Philip suddenly found his mischievous streak. He narrowed his eyes and asked favonovel.com with a bright smile.
Wynn pouted and went with it. “How much?”
Philip mused for a second before saying, “Slightly more than Aiden’s.”
He did that on purpose. He just wanted to tell Wynn that Aiden was never more than a speck of dust in his eyes.
Aiden earned tens of millions every year.
If Philip had slightly more than Aiden, did that not mean…
Wynn’s eyes glazed over, and then favonovel.com stared at Philip intently. Grabbing his arm tightly, favonovel.com asked, “So you mean, Mila’s surgery fee…”
Was Philip really that wealthy?
Philip hugged Wynn tightly and comforted her, “Don’t worry, Wynn. Mila is my daughter. Of course I won’t let favonovel.com suffer. Don’t worry about the surgery fee, I’ll handle that.”
“Mm-hmm.” Wynn nodded, favonovel.com face flooded with tears.
