Chapter 2784
Philip took a deep breath and stepped into the courtyard. As soon as he entered the yard, he felt that it was
unusually peaceful. Many things were planted in the yard. There were also two raccoons and a labrador. Several
bird cages also hung around the yard with the birds twittering away noisily.
The place was full of vitality…
In the middle of the yard was a pond with beautiful pink lotus flowers in full bloom. It was surrounded by a small
vegetable garden with many vegetables. It was pleasant rural scenery.

year-old date tree in the yard with lush branches and leaves with many green dates hanging from them. It was not
the season for the dates to ripen. There was a bamboo reclining chair beneath the tree where an old man in a
white martial art uniform was lying. He was leisurely fanning himself while humming a tune.
Philip stood at the door, and the old man suddenly stopped his movements as if he sensed something. He got up
and looked at the door. He looked at Philip with the kindest smile and said, “Little Phil, is that you?”
Philip couldn’t stop his eyes from tearing up. He walked up, knelt in front of the old man, and said, “Grandpa…”
Philip could still remember the time when he was held in his grandfather’s arms when he was a child. At that time,
his mother was still around, and his grandfather treated him the best. He gave Philip all the most delicious food and
the best toys.
The old man stretched out his wrinkled old hands, his eyes filled with tears of excitement. He stroked Philip’s head
and said, “Hey, stand up. My Little Phil is back to see me. My Little Phil…”
The old man kept repeating the phrase with wet eyes. He looked at Philip’s face carefully and said, “You look just
like Charlotte. The two of you are carved out of the same mold.”
The old man stretched out his hand and motioned Philip to sit on a stone seat on the side. He said, “Sit down. I have
something good for you. I’ll get it for you. “
After saying that, the old man staggered up and walked into the inner yard. He took out a wooden box with gold
trimmings and placed it on the stone table. Then, he gasped for breath before sitting down again.

Hearing that, Philip reached out and opened the wooden box. When he saw the contents inside, he could not stop
his tears from flowing.
“They’re all your favorite foods. I kept them for you,” The old man said happily and reached out for a candy.
He peeled off the candy wrapper, handed it to Philip, and said, “Eat one.”
Philip gladly accepted it and tasted the sweetness in his mouth. He also unwrapped a candy and handed it to the old
man while saying, “Grandpa, have one too…”
The old man laughed happily and nodded. He ate the candy and said with satisfaction, “My Little Phil treats me the
best.”
The grandfather and grandson sat under the old date tree and chatted.
