Chapter 2863
Cynthia dried her tears and said, "Why are you here?"
Philip put his hands in his trouser pockets, looked at the moon in the night sky that rarely made an appearance, and said, "I was afraid you'd do something stupid." Hearing this, Cynthia laughed through her tears and said, "I'm not that fragile. I just..."

Cynthia did not complete her sentence.
Philip suddenly said, "Cynthia, you should understand that I can't make any promises to you. Feelings are like that. I admit that I don't hate you and even like you a bit." Hearing this, Cynthia became a little excited.
"But I can't think about this right now. Maybe I'll change my mind in three to five years. After all, as a man, loving someone is not the same as liking someone. Wynn is the love of my life. I won't hurt her or make her sad. If you're willing, wait for me for three years. After three years, I'll give you a reply and a status."
After Philip finished speaking, he looked at Cynthia seriously.
Philip did not know if he was doing the right thing. He just did not want to let someone down and did not want any regrets. However, emotions were hard to deduce and control. He did not want to let Wynn down, so he needed three years. He was not only being responsible for himself but also for Wynn and Cynthia.
Cynthia squatted on the ground and looked up at Philip with tears in her eyes. Then, she suddenly got up, hugged Philip, and said, "I'm willing to wait. I'll prove myself in three years."
Philip reached out and patted Cynthia gently.
After Cynthia and Philip separated, she walked away cheerfully.
Hogan had been watching the scene at the swimming pool downstairs. He said with a sigh, "Ah... It's time for the baby bird to leave the nest."
Philip was about to go back to his room when Hogan approached him from behind. They looked at each other.
"Hogan, what's up?" Philip asked.
Hogan said seriously, "Philip, do you really want to make such a promise?"
Philip was silent before he said, "What are you trying to say?"
Hogan said, "Philip, I don't care what you do outside, but Cynthia is my daughter. I treat her as my own. I don't want her to suffer any harm, not even from you! If I ever find out that Cynthia has suffered because of you, I won't let you off!"
This was a father's declaration.
Philip said seriously, "Okay."
Hogan took a breath and wanted to say something else, but in the end, he kept his mouth shut and left.

The next day.
Early in the morning, Philip and the others gathered at the airport. Cynthia and Hogan sent them off.
It was a private plane headed directly to Mystic City. Before they boarded the plane, Cynthia hugged Philip tightly and said, "Be careful. I'll wait for you to come back..."
Philip said, "Okay... Stay here and take care of my grandfather for me. Don't worry about the Larson family. They won't dare to do anything to you."
Cynthia nodded and said, "Okay."
They waved and left.
The plane took off. Philip looked at the people on the ground getting smaller and smaller, took a deep breath, and said, "Mystic City, here I come..."
As Philip's private plane took off, several guards of the Larson family rushed into the airport, found Hogan, and said coldly, "Fourth Master, the patriarch asks you to return quickly!" Hogan frowned, looked at Cynthia, and asked, "What happened?"
"The grandmaster is in critical condition," the guard said.
