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 to me by 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. “Some folks think getting older gives them a pass to be bullheaded, right?”

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.

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?”
