Everyone fell silent as they looked at the pain on Philixâs face.
Who would have thought that the tough man in charge of the North
Army would have a soft side too?
The girl at the convenience store rested her face in both her hands.
and said, âI donât think feelings are that complicated. If you cherish
the present moment, you wonât be left with so many regrets!â
Stellar chuckled. âIt seems like youâre still a kid.â
âWhatâs wrong with being a kid? Do kids not have feelings?â the girl
retorted in disapproval.
Stellar was surprised. He did not expect an underaged brat to refute
him. He disregarded her words, thinking that it was just a childish
statement.
âI think that the little girl is right. Cherishing the present is how we
avoid regrets. If Wolf had cherished those final moments, he could
have at least seen the birth of his own child.â
Felicity had not gotten over the story, and her eyes were still
Stellar remained silent. There was a complicated look in his ey
he was contemplating what Felicity meant.
It also seemed like he was reminiscing about his long-buried
emotions.
Half an hour later, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up.

The ground was covered with Nashâs and Philixâs cigarette butts.
âThe rain stopped. Letâs go!â
Philix stamped out the cigarette butt he just threw on the ground and
brushed off the ash that fell on his windbreaker as he stood up.
At the entrance of Snyder Estate, only Santiago and Caleb, who was holding his child, were standing outside.
Santiago looked a little dazed, seemingly in deep thought..
Caleb noticed that his grandfather was not looking as excited as he should be, so he could not help but ask, âGrandpa, shouldnât you be happy that the North Warden is coming to our house? Why do you
look so glum?â
Santiago shook his head and said, âItâs not your place to ask!â
Caleb gulped and dared not say a word more.
Soon after, Santiagoâs seven-seater bulletproof car stopped at the
entrance.
Felicity and Stellar got out of the car first. Stellar helped Phili
the door as always.
Philix got out, and when he looked at the man standing at the d his gaze darkened.
Santiago and Caleb stepped forward.
Calebâs face was flushed with excitement. He lowered his head with
Chapter
his child in his arms. âCaleb Snyder, at your service!â
Santiago lowered his head too. âSantiago Snyder, head of the Snyder family, at your service!â
Philix shook Santiagoâs hand. âMr. Snyder Senior, thereâs no need to
be so formal!â
Caleb sighed. âNorth Warden, youâre too kind!â
Felicity echoed, âYouâre right! Philix is so kind!â
After that, she glanced at the empty entrance and frowned. âGrandpa,
I know Philix doesnât mind, but isnât this a bit too casual?â
When the North Warden came to Sagen last time, the elite families. were so eager to welcome him that they seemed ready to dig up their
ancestors from the ground.
The scene was nothing short of sensational, causing a stir
throughout the city.
Now that it was the Snyder familyâs turn to welcome him, only
Santiago and Caleb came out to greet him.
If word got out, people might even think that the Snyder famil
loathed the North Warden!
Santiago looked apologetic. As soon as he was about to say
something, Philix said, âI came to Sagen on such short notice, so thereâs no need to make a big fuss. Just treat me like any other
guest!â
Caleb carefully looked at Philix and was amazed at how down-to-
earth he was.
He could not help but feel ashamed about how much of an asshole
he was in the past.
Philix glanced at the child in Calebâs arms and smiled. âIs this Rolandâs grandson?â
Caleb looked at Philix in shock. âNorth Warden, do you know my
father?â
He was wondering whether Philix was actually related to the Snyder
family.
Philix did not answer his question directly but smiled. âYour father should be around the same age as me, yet heâs already a grandfather.
Iâm jealous!â
Behind him, Nashâs face turned red.
