Everyone fell silent as they looked at the pain on Philix’s 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, “I don’t think feelings are that complicated. If you cherish

the present moment, you won’t be left with so many regrets!”

Stellar chuckled. “It seems like you’re still a kid.”

“What’s wrong with being a kid? Do kids not have feelings?” 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.

“I 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.”

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 Nash’s and Philix’s cigarette butts.

“The rain stopped. Let’s go!”

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, “Grandpa, shouldn’t you be happy that the North Warden is coming to our house? Why do you

look so glum?”

Santiago shook his head and said, “It’s not your place to ask!”

Caleb gulped and dared not say a word more.

Soon after, Santiago’s 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.

Caleb’s face was flushed with excitement. He lowered his head with

his child in his arms. “Caleb Snyder, at your service!”

Santiago lowered his head too. “Santiago Snyder, head of the Snyder family, at your service!”

Philix shook Santiago’s hand. “Mr. Snyder Senior, there’s no need to

be so formal!”

Caleb sighed. “North Warden, you’re too kind!”

Felicity echoed, “You’re right! Philix is so kind!”

After that, she glanced at the empty entrance and frowned. “Grandpa,

I know Philix doesn’t mind, but isn’t this a bit too casual?”

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 family’s 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, “I came to Sagen on such short notice, so there’s no need to make a big fuss. Just treat me like any other

guest!”

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 Caleb’s arms and smiled. “Is this Roland’s grandson?”

Caleb looked at Philix in shock. “North Warden, do you know my

father?”

He was wondering whether Philix was actually related to the Snyder

family.

Philix did not answer his question directly but smiled. “Your father should be around the same age as me, yet he’s already a grandfather.

I’m jealous!”

Behind him, Nash’s face turned red.
