Phillip chuckled. “Of course she has something to do with you. She’ll be your wife in the future.”
Richard was slightly stunned as he frowned a little. “Grandpa, you should
know how I feel about this. I have no intention of marrying.”
Phillip also didn’t look too happy. They obviously had this conversation before.
“Why? Do you want the Lloyd Family to stop just like that in your generation? How am I supposed to answer to our ancestors? What about your father?” Phillip harrumphed. “No matter what, you have to produce a descendant for the Lloyd Family.”
Richard lowered his gaze a little. “Grandpa, I don’t want to walk in my dad’s footsteps, and neither would I want a woman to live the same life my mom did. It’s not fair for her.”
“You definitely won’t end up like your dad. Your dad sacrificed himself for the country, and after your mom remarried, I heard she spent her life in happiness.”
With that, Phillip looked at the girl in the photo again. “This girl is very satisfied with you, and she doesn’t mind your current work either. You should see her when you’re free, then get the wedding going.
Richard raised his head sharply and said, “Are you joking, Grandpa?”
“Do I look like someone who’d joke with you? If you’re so busy that you don’t have time to get married, you can get engaged and give me a great-grandson first.” Philip couldn’t wait to see his great-grandson.
However, reluctance could be seen on Richard’s face. “I still have some important work to do, and I don’t have the time to get engaged.”
“No matter how busy you are, you can still make time at night. It’s a done deal. We’ll have dinner with her family tomorrow night, and your marriage will be decided then.” Philip had been in power for a long time, so he always had the final word and didn’t allow anyone to refute him. This applied to his own grandson’s marriage as well.
“I’m sorry, Grandpa. I can’t do that. I
should leave now.” As Richard spoke, he strode to the door, but he looked like he was running away.
When Philip saw that, he sighed and pressed on his chest all of a sudden.
Seeing the scene unfolding from the side, the maid screamed at once, “Old Master Lloyd! Come back, Young Master Lloyd!”
Richard, who had just reached the side of his car, heard the maid’s voice. He quickly threw his bag down and ran back to the hall, only to see Philip’s pale face while the old man pressed his chest, unable to breathe. The maid quickly gave Philip the oxygen mask.
After breathing in some oxygen, only then did Philip regain his senses and his face looked better. Then, he sat himself up and took a deep breath before looking at his grandson. “My body is not as good as it used to be.”
Needless to say, Richard was feeling guilty as well since he was the one who made him sick with anger. As such, he sat down and looked at the girl’s photo on the table before saying, “Okay. I’ll get engaged to her. However, I really have an urgent matter at hand, so we can only get engaged for now.”
