Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife novel Chapter 763

Chapter 763: Chapter 764

"Hey, kiddo, take a peek at who’s coming our way," President Barton, with a grin stretching from ear to ear, strolled over with Phillip in tow.

Rosemary, catching sight of the duo, was somewhat taken aback, "Grandpa Phillip? You two know each other?"

"Hahaha, talk about serendipity!" Phillip approached Rosemary, his smile beaming, "Back in the day, I was tight with Tanner. You know, one thing led to another, and I got to know all his pals."

It all clicked for Rosemary then.

"Tanner used to brag about having this grandkid who was a real firecracker, even more so than my own. Said you were so out of this world, and I thought he was just blowing smoke."

Phillip had never met Rosemary, only hearing about her through Regan’s tall tales, so he never took it seriously.

"Turns out, his grandkid is you! And here I was thinking there was no meat on that bone of a story. Tanner, you sure do talk a big game." Phillip couldn’t stop smiling, "Rose’s not just your granddaughter;

she’s gonna be my granddaughter-in-law, and that’s a done deal."

"Whoa there, hold your horses! That’s the real pie in the sky. Whether she becomes your granddaughter-in-law is still up in the air. Look at you, all puffed up with pride," Regan roared with laughter.

Phillip, bearing a gift, chimed in, "Mr. Albright, no need for a long speech. Today’s your birthday, so here’s to eternal bliss and a life as long as the heavens. Let’s both make it to a hundred, watch Rose walk down the aisle, tie the knot, have kids. And if she has a little Rose, we’ll all be there to help raise her."

"That’s what I’m talking about." Eugene laughed heartily, his only wish in life being to see his dear Rosemary wed, "But is your grandson reliable? My precious Rosemary can’t be mistreated by anyone."

"If my grandson dares to treat her poorly, we’ll each break one of his legs."

Rosemary’s ears perked up: That harsh??

"Haha, that’s the spirit!" Eugene grabbed a glass of wine to toast Phillip.

Phillip glanced at Rosemary reflexively and started to wave off the offer, "The doc told me not to drink; I’m not fully recovered yet."

"Well, Rose told me the same, but this is only 0.5% elderflower wine." Eugene finished, looking at Rosemary, "Your Grandpa Phillip came all this way and even brought me a gift. Don’t you think it’s only polite to let him have a glass?"

Phillip also looked for Rosemary’s approval, "They’re toasting to me; would it be rude not to drink?"

"Go ahead."

Hearing Rosemary’s consent, the two old men were over the moon. They clinked glasses and downed their drinks in haste, as if afraid Rosemary would change her mind.

"Wine approved by the doc is just exquisite."

"You bet it is. It’s got a taste of happiness, hahaha."

Other guests, seeing Phillip enjoy his drink, eagerly approached Rosemary, keen to get their moment.

"Mr. McMillian, I’m thrilled to see you tonight. Allow me to offer a toast." Mabel stepped forward,draining her glass with poise and asked, "Might I have the honor of challenging you to a quick game of

chess? Just a minute of your time."

A minute was such a fleeting window that if Phillip refused, he’d seem ungracious.

"Mr. McMillian, are you fond of chess? I’ve liked it since childhood, not quite as skilled as Jamie Noelle though." Lindsay glanced at Rosemary as she spoke, "But my mentors always said I had a unique style.

If you ever get bored and need some company, I’d be delighted to join you."

Phillip was taken aback, his gaze fixed on Rosemary for a moment, "Jamie Noelle??"

He then turned to the other gentlemen, "Rose’s Jamie Noelle?"
