Lance almost choked when Elder Parker referred to him as Lily's husband. He indeed planned to be her husband in the future but Elder Parker saying that out loud made him startled.
While Lily blushed in embarrassment. "Grandfather, he's not my husband."
"He will be since he knows a secret of mine that no one knows. And if he doesn't plan on marrying you then I'll have to shoot in the head to keep him permanently shut." Elder Parker said sternly, making Lance's Adam's apple go up and down.
"Grandfather!" Lily's eyes widened in terror.
"Sshh…" Elder Parker waved his hand. "That's enough. The trip back here is long and tiring. I need to have some rest." With that, Elder Parker rose from his seat.
"Young man!" Elder Parker called out to Lance.
"Yes, Elder Parker?" Lance immediately stood up. It seems that the two already had an internal understanding that Lance will be Elder Parker's right-hand man temporarily while he is at Lotus City.
