Chapter 1405 - 1399: I Agree With That

"Getting a license? What license?" Joseph Lancaster’s eyes tightened, completely ignoring how his son’s words severely impacted his father’s self-esteem."It’s nothing." Evander Lancaster shook his head. If he guessed correctly, it was all an act by that woman. Of course, everything would be clear once he went to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Seeing his son seemed to be hiding something, Joseph Lancaster appeared displeased, "Evander, what did you mean by your words just now?"

"No meaning, just speaking casually." Judging from Joseph Lancaster’s reaction, Evander Lancaster was even more certain of his thoughts.

"You brat, stop fooling around with me and give me back the household register!"

Joseph Lancaster reached out while speaking, but just before his fingertips touched the household register, Evander Lancaster quickly snatched it away.

Because the jacket zipper wasn’t zipped up, putting away the household register was convenient. He grabbed the jacket lapel with one hand, and leisurely put the household register into the inner pocket with the other hand, a slight arc at the corner of his lips, raising an eyebrow, "What, you still want to fight?"

Joseph Lancaster...

Realizing the brat was teasing him, he burst into laughter, "You little rascal, don’t know whose genes you inherited, acting all unserious in front of your elders."

After putting the household register away, Evander Lancaster said leisurely, "Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes to phoenixes; a rat’s child knows how to dig holes."

Joseph Lancaster was stunned for a moment, then picked up his coffee, nodding in a serious manner, "Hmm, I agree with that."

After saying that, he leisurely sipped his coffee. Seeing Joseph Lancaster’s smug expression, Evander Lancaster snorted lightly, "Childish!"

"Ah, childish or naive, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, I, Joseph Lancaster, have both a son and a daughter, and my life has no regrets." Joseph Lancaster said while putting down the coffee cup, sighing with a look of undisguisable smugness.

Evander Lancaster couldn’t stand his father’s obvious complacency. Mimicking him, he picked up his coffee cup, brought it to his lips, and took a gentle sip. Looking at the raised eyebrow of the man across from him, "What? Uncle’s settled down? How come I didn’t know? And where’s your son, your daughter? Do I, Evander Lancaster, have an unknown sister you’ve hidden away?"

"You brat! Dare to mock me again and see if I don’t give you a hard time!" Joseph Lancaster threatened through gritted teeth, but there was no real force behind his tone, eyes smiling and corners of the lips slightly curved, clearly in a good mood.

"Ah, there’s no sister possible. I’ll have to find a way to have daughters myself." Evander Lancaster sighed dismissively, mimicking Joseph Lancaster’s smug demeanor.

Joseph Lancaster laughed, his eyes sparkling, "You little rascal, really laughing at me."

Evander Lancaster slightly lifted his phoenix eyes, glancing at him without speaking, but there was a tacit understanding only shared between father and son.

"Alright, I’m heading back first. Got a flight abroad tomorrow." Joseph Lancaster stood up, brushed off non-existent dust from his suit.

"Flying abroad? On a business trip?" Evander Lancaster instinctively asked. With Joseph Lancaster’s current position, ordinary work didn’t require him to negotiate personally, unless it was particularly tricky. Could it be that something unexpected happened with the family company?

Joseph Lancaster looked up, sneered as he retorted, "Who said you can’t go abroad without work?"

"Then what are you going abroad for?" Evander Lancaster spoke without thinking, Joseph Lancaster raised an eyebrow.

"Accompanying someone to relax!"

Evander Lancaster...

From Joseph Lancaster’s smug demeanor, it was clear who "someone" was. At his age, still saying "someone," isn’t he embarrassed!

Automatically filtering out the disdainful look in his son’s eyes, Joseph Lancaster cleared his throat.

"I’m leaving."

"Mm, take care." Understanding Joseph Lancaster’s hint, Evander Lancaster purposely played dumb, leaning back in his chair, idly playing with the coffee cup, his expression seemingly indifferent.

"You brat! Don’t you know how to see someone off?" Joseph Lancaster raised an eyebrow. Evander Lancaster slightly lifted his phoenix eyes, half-smiling, "Uncle, take care."

Joseph Lancaster...

Snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and left, feeling peeved by his son.

When he got back, he’d have to do a paternity test to see if this brat was really his!
