Chapter 560: *Whatever you want to say, don’t say it*
Nolan, who had just arrived, then said to him, "You should be the one taking care of our father; isn’t he in this state because of you?"
Nolan then froze because he was more sensitive than the others regarding energy reserves, and so he asked Phil, dumbfounded, "How come Dad gained so many levels in such a short time?"
Kelan answered him, "Phil took him to loot some purple dungeons, and the reason Dad is in this state is that he just learned to use a weapon imbued with black particles."
Nolan was speechless; he couldn’t even remember the last time his father had entered a dungeon.
Dilan then opened his eyes, feeling much better now that his headache had largely subsided. He then looked at Kelan and Caleb and asked them, surprised, "Did you need something, or did you just come to visit me?"
Kelan then said honestly, "It was just to see how you were doing and if things at the palace were going well, but that can wait. Let’s eat together tomorrow at noon, and tonight just rest, okay?"
Dilan nodded, and then he stood up hastily when he realized that Phil had settled him on his lap for the time it took for him to come to his senses... Damn, that was really embarrassing. Alone he wouldn’t have minded, but right in front of his sons...
Kelan smiled at them and said to his father, "Don’t forget, we’re having lunch together tomorrow, and I can stay with you to help out in the afternoon because the Warrior Spirits don’t need me anymore right now."
Dilan nodded and said, "Okay, so see you tomorrow, son."
When Kelan and Caleb had left, Dilan then said to Nolan, "Thank Ashton for me, and I may still need more remedies in the future, so if you could bring me some more when you have time..."
Nolan then smiled and said to his father, "Sure, Dad, don’t worry. I’ll ask Ashton for some, and we’ll come and eat with you tomorrow at noon too..."
Dilan, who knew his son perfectly well, felt that he was about to say something stupid, so he told him, "Nolan, whatever you want to say, don’t say it and just go back to Ashton. I’m fine now."
But when did Nolan ever listen to him...
Nolan suddenly conjured up another bag from his magic bag that smelled like medical herbs, and he threw it in the direction of Phil, who had been standing behind his dad while he was talking to them.
Phil caught it without difficulty, and then Dilan had a bad feeling just before Nolan said, confirming that his instincts were right, "Phil, use this to relieve Dad when you’re done having fun..."
Dilan said, "Nolan..."
But Nolan continued while taking a few steps back, "I swear it’s super effective. Everyone uses it; otherwise, Ashton would never be able to keep up with his morning lessons..."
Dilan shook his head helplessly and said, stepping forward with a threatening look, "Nolan... That’s enough now."
But then Nolan said what triggered his father’s fury, "Phil, you should really take it easy. Dad is a bit rusty, and I’m pretty sure that it will be his first time with a man..."
Dilan, "NOLAN!!!!"
But Phil held him back by the waist with a smile on his lips, motioning for Nolan to leave now.
Nolan just said, before disappearing, "See you tomorrow, Daddy. Love you!"
When Nolan was gone, Dilan massaged his temples and leaned on Phil, who immediately asked him, "Are you okay?"
Dilan then gave a frustrated grunt and said, "That little brat... I told him to shut up!"
Phil chuckled and said to him while putting his chin on his shoulder, "Well, all your sons are refreshing... and they love you very much. Kelan even wanted to kill me earlier when he saw you in this state; fortunately, Caleb was there to calm him down."
Dilan still said, feeling a little embarrassed, "I’m sorry for what Nolan said..."
Phil then kissed his cheek, finding Dilan really cute like this, and asked him, "Is it true?"
Dilan looked at him and asked, "Which part? That I’m a bit rusty, or that it will be my first time with a man?"
Phil then smiled and asked him, "Tell me both... That way I could adjust, okay?"
Dilan sighed as he placed his hands on Phil’s, which were now on his stomach, and admitted, "I never had any other relationship other than the one I had with the mother of my sons, and I never regretted it. I was too busy, and no one had ever aroused my interest... So, that answers your questions, and Nolan is absolutely right; I’m totally rusty, and you’re the first man who has ever attracted me... What about you?"
Phil really appreciated his honesty, so he said to him, "Don’t forget that I’m 2,000 years old, so I’ve had women and men, mostly Drakonits, Demons, or Titans, but never anything serious... My stories never lasted more than a few months because my Drakonit didn’t want them."
Dilan had frowned because if he decided to go all out with Phil, it wasn’t for their relationship to last only "a few months." He might as well stay single if that was it!
But curiosity got the better of him, and he asked, "Do you need your Drakonit’s approval to be with someone? The Shapeshifters I know don’t need to be with their soulmate to live with someone."
But Phil then told him, "I’m not a Shapeshifter, Dilan... I am first and foremost a Drakonit, and it is my Drakonit side that will always be stronger than my human side."
Dilan, who had almost come to accept the fact that he could have a relationship with a man, felt like he was taking a cold shower, and when he tried to free himself from Phil’s arms that were holding him tightly against him, Phil tightened his embrace and said to him right against his ear, "Dilan, you’re smarter than that. Think about my behavior with you and ask me the only question you really want to know."
