7 Ch.7| Take Him. (2/2)

He looked at David's text as he got dressed. So a rich neighborhood, aye? David was a rich man. He went down the stairs fully clothed and got out the door. Although Philip was only sixteen, he had both a full license and an expensive car.

Arius hopped into the car and found his keys in the glove box, odd placement, but oh well! He started the car and left. How was he supposed to get there? Well, he had lived for so long so he could probably figure it out.

It took two hours for him to finally get to David's house. Two hours! He really needed to hire a driver. He got out and knocked on David's door, David's wife answered.

”You must be Philip! I'm Win.” Win smiled.

”Nice to meet you Win. Now where's my kid?” He said eagerly.

”Follow me...” She felt awkward with his response. He seemed a little too excited. She walked inside with him closely following behind.

The scene he walked in on was rather... weird. A kid around the age of 5 sat across from a man in his early thirties. They seemed to be having a staring contest.

”Uh, Dave?” Arius questioned him but got no response.

”David!” Win yelled to get her husband's attention. To which he looked up, albeit a bit too quickly. Arius was a tad proud of his daughter-in-law's ability to control her husband.

”Oh, Phil is here.” David said plainly, making Arius feel worthless.

”This is the kid?” Arius went straight to taking about the kid.

”Take him.” David desperately begged.

”Wh-”

”Please just take him.” He begged again.

”Okay...” Arius was stunned. He was brought out of shock when he noticed the kid sulking.

”This is your new guardian.” David looked towards the kid seriously as he pointed to Arius. In response, the kid nodded sadly. David seemed regretful for a moment when he looked at the young boy, but then came back from his thoughts.

”Hey buddy.” Arius squatted down.
