Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1886

Matthew blinked. "That saying… how come I've never heard it before?"

Adam snorted. "Of course, you haven't. You've probably never been spoiled by an older woman in your life! As they said, the older the woman, the more charming and wonderful she is!

"Joseph's just a hot-blooded young punk, and Scarlett's the type who's clever, powerful, and knows exactly how to reel someone in. Taking control of him wouldn't even be a challenge."

Then, almost involuntarily, Matthew muttered, "Don't tell me… back in your day, you had a taste of older women too?"

Every member of the Yeagers stood there with their mouths hanging open, completely shocked by Matthew's question.

Even Matthew realized he had screwed up the moment the words left his mouth.

Adam was over 100 years old. Was he really the person to joke with like that?

To his surprise, Adam simply stroked his beard and smirked. "Take a guess."

That wink and cheeky grin made Matthew seriously wonder if he was hitting his second puberty.

The entire Yeager family felt collectively uncomfortable. It seemed that while Adam was old, his heart was still young, and he had been quite the player in his youth.

Matthew and the other high-ranking members became serious, exchanging glances but saying nothing as they waited for Joseph to arrive.

"I'm back!" Joseph strode into the living room, looking refreshed and beaming with smiles.

Matthew kept his expression neutral and smiled. "Joseph, where did you go? I was worried you'd be in a bad mood after failing the selection. I didn't expect you to bounce back this quickly."
