Philip raised an eyebrow. They often bantered, but losing face over a recent draw had only fueled his anger. He shot back without missing a beat. “Your Milly? When did my granddaughter become yours? Why are you always trying to claim everything as your own?”

Milly couldn’t handle these two old men anymore.

Shouldn’t they become more mature with age? Why are they acting like children, comparing everything and arguing about everything? Isn’t that exhausting?

She had a headache.
