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.

"Sure, let's bring Chloe's uncle along. He's awesome..."

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

"Exactly, having someone older with us makes us feel more at ease. Uncle, we want some drinks and maybe some Japanese food for lunch."

The students, thrilled by Grant's offer, immediately surrounded him, showering him with praise and eager requests. They guided him toward the basketball court near the mall, clearly planning to take full advantage of his generosity. Chloe trailed behind, feeling exasperated.
