Chapter 598
Upstairs, as soon as Philip closed the door and turned to look at Jake, his expression became extremely serious.
He walked to the main seat and sat down. He said seriously, Although the Lockwood family is a big family, yet when ites to matters of the marriage of our children, as elders, we have always respected our children''s thoughts.
"You and Olivia show up at our door only after you two have a child now. Although it was a little inappropriate, I''m not a pedantic person. Just don''t disappoint me in the future.” Jake''s eyes lit up. He originally thought that Philip would make things difficult for him in the study. He never expected it to be so easy!
He was secretly happy and his tone became lighter. "Dad, don''t worry. I, Jake Quilion, am not an unreliable man. I''d sooner betray the world than let Olivia suffer any grievances." Philip nodded. "Yes, I hope you''ll keep your word. Since this is your first time here and this is the first time we meet, I have something for you."
Jake thought to himself. There''s a wee gift?"
He blinked, hardly able to believe that what was happening was real.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
"Isn''t he a little too easy to talk to?" He thought.
Then, he saw Philip turn around and take out a neatly folded nket from the cab behind the desk.
Jake could not help but blink in confusion.
He wondered if his future father-inw was actually going to give him a nket.
"Could this be a Lockwood family tradition?'' He wondered
Philip held the nket and his expression looked extremely serious, but he was actually already overjoyed in his heart. He then stuffed the nket into Jake''s arms.
He said in all seriousness, ''This is our family''s treasure. I''ve always used it in the past. Now, I''ll pass it to you. Remember, cherish it well. It will serve you for the rest of your life." Although Jake was extremely puzzled, he did not show it on his face. He took the nket in his arms and said, Dad, don''t worry. I will definitely cherish it."
Philip nodded. The corners of his lips could not help but curl up, but he quickly held it back.
Then, with his head held high, he opened the door and went downstairs with great dignity.
Jake held the nket and followed.
Downstairs, Isabe and the others looked over in surprise when they saw theming out so quickly. Then, they saw Philip''s smug smile. There was also Jake, who knew nothing but was smiling brightly nheless, and... the very familiar nket in his arms.
Not only did Isabe and Draxton look at each other in surprise, even Olivia straightened her back and asked in confusion, "Dad, why did you give your nket to Jake?"
Jake stopped in his tracks, wondering if that wasn''t actually a family traditiion.
He went downstairs quietly.
"Yes, I gave it to him," Philip said.
Then, he went out proudly.
Olivia looked at her father''s back and blinked again and again with a strange expression.
Isabe hooked Draxton''s finger with one finger and asked, ''What do you think dad means by doing that? Why did he give his nket to Jake the first time they meet?" "He couldn''t be expressing that they''re close now, right?" She thought.
She did not think that Philip was actually being kind.
Draxton pondered for a moment, then smiled helplessly and said, "What else could it be? Dad might think that his status would change from now on."
"Huh?" Isabe was stunned, and the corner of her mouth twitched.
"What kind of ideal is this?" She wondered.
Jake was puzzled, so he asked, "Why did dad give me his nket as a greeting gift?"
He looked at everyone in confusion.
Before Isabe and the others could speak, Betty and Ricky were whispering loudly, Ricky, why do you think grandpa gave his nket to Uncle Jake?
"Grandpa gave it to Uncle Jake, so the next time grandma chases grandpa out of the bedroom and tells him to sleep in the study, what will he use to sleep on the floor?" Betty felt that she was a good kid who cared about her grandfather.
Ricky looked at his sister dotingly andforted her. Maybe grandfather is nning to let Uncle Jake sleep in the study in the future."
