That’s nonsense, pure nonsense! How dare you speak such nonsense, not knowing the rules!”

Milly was taken aback.

She had no clue she would end up at the temple today, let alone needing to pray to Buddha and seek guidance. If she had known, she definitely wouldn’t have come.

Andrew was furious when he saw Philip lecturing his well–behaved granddaughter–in–law right in front of him. He stormed over with his cane and launched a barrage of accusations.

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.
