She had already given her money several times before.
âIâve been throwing chump change at you before, but today your bank cardâs got no limit. Just buy whatever you fancy, donât sweat it.â
âMum, why are you copying me?â David, who was munching on snacks, quickly looked up. âAre you trying to outshine me? Do you know how hard it was for me to win Bellaâs heart?â
âSo, only you can shower Bella with gifts, and I canât?â Louisa insisted she accept. âJust take it. I didnât bring it out earlier because Serena was there, and I didnât want her to think I was playing favorites.â
Upon hearing this, Serena upstairs clenched her fists in frustration. How could this be fair? Wasnât this blatant favoritism?
âJust take it. No more refusals. Louisa wouldnât let her return the card. Holding her hand, she said, âYour dad told me you aced the test, so we have to celebrate. Your grandparents arenât well yet, and your other grandparents and uncles are abroad. We donât want to invite those distant relatives, so weâre thinking of having dinner at Romeoâs place and introducing you to your uncle.â
âMy uncle?â
Turned out she had an uncle?
âYour dad has a brother and a sister.â Louisa said with a smile, âBut your aunt lives abroad, sheâs busy and seldom comes back. After your grandparents, recover, Iâll invite your auntâs family so our big family can reunite. For now, weâll meet your uncleâs family.â
âOkay.â
Seeing her agreement, Louisa arranged, âThen Iâll book it for the day after tomorrow, at the Dawn Restaurant. Iâll let Romeo know to reserve the largest private room for us.â
âOkay.â Arabella chatted with her for a while before heading upstairs to take a bath.
Serena was filled with jealousy. Her grades were not bad either, but her mother didnât host a banquet for her.
The next day.
Arabella walked out of Reflections Villaâs gate and handed the prepared gift to Romeo.
âThis is for you.â
Romeo was surprised, he had a gift? This was the first time he received a gift from her.
He couldnât help the joy and excitement, opening the bag to find a variety of items.
âI made the clothes myself.â
She would make clothes in her spare time. After completing a few sets, she thought it was too little and prepared other things.
âAnd this, youâre under a lot of stress. These are tablets, you can drop one in water and drink it when you have time.â Arabella took out a small bottle.
She made the medicine herself, which could alleviate stress and be beneficial to physical and mental health.
He had other gifts to receive.
Romeo, holding the gift in one hand and hugging her joyfully with the other, whispered in her ear, âYouâre the best gift heaven has ever given me.â Arabella could tell he was happy. She didnât expect him to be so thrilled over some random things she prepared.
Her mum was right that Romeo had given her so many gifts, and it was only right for her to return the favor.
