Chapter 35 Uncle's Might

"Hey, 'Uncle,' we young folks play basketball to stay fit. Isn't it kinda weird for you to join us?" Chloe shot Grant a playful wink, clearly signaling she didn't want him tagging along. Grant just shrugged nonchalantly. "No worries. I'll just watch quietly."

Chloe pouted at his response, and Philip, along with a few classmates, exchanged knowing glances.

Grant then proposed, "How about this? If I come to watch, I'll foot the bill for everything today. Food, drinks, it's all on me."

Their eyes lit up; the prospect of a free meal and drinks was too good to pass up.

"Yeah, let's take him. He's so handsome and tall, looks like he has great stamina."
