Spoiled by Mr. Russell
Chapter 531 As Benedict spoke, he realized Lily was only teasing him. He glared at her gloomily, removed his backpack, and handed it to Lily, âThis is for you!â
Lily was startled, âWhat is it?â âItâs what you want!â Benedict said.
Lily took the backpack with one hand and immediately noticed how heavy it was. The backpack almost fell from her hand as she did not hold it properly. She hurriedly picked it up with the other hand, weighed it, and looked at him again, âCan I open it?â
âI told you itâs for you. Itâs up to you whether or not you want to open it.â Benedict looked awkward.
Lily smiled, slightly unzipped the backpack, looked inside, and found a large piece of wood packed in a bag. No wonder it was so heavy. There was also a faint, elegant, and memorable scent. It was what Lily had been looking for all this time, and she was surprised, âDidnât you say you didnât have anymore?â
âItâs true.â Benedict let go of his hands and put them in his trouser pockets. He raised his chin and did not look at the backpack. He seemed worried he would change his mind and take it back. âThis is all thatâs left.â
The backpack was heavy, but Lily held it in her arms joyfully. âYouâre willing to give this to me? Donât you want to keep it for yourself to carve something?â âAh, itâs pointless.â Benedictâs eyes drooped, looking defeated. âWhy is it pointless? Youâve preserved this quite well. Are you sure you donât want it?â
Lily tried to probe.
Benedict was a little impatient. âHey, why all the questions? Just take it if you want it. If you donât want it, Iâll take it back,â he said as he reached out to grab the backpack.
Lily hurriedly turned to her side. âOf course I want it! When did I say I donât want it? If youâre giving me this, Iâll take it.â
Hearing her words, Benedictâs hand stopped midâair for two seconds, and then he retracted. He felt a little disappointed.
âHey, come on. Youâre the eldest son of the Tanner family. You have everything. Why do you want to fight with me over this?â Although Benedict said the wood was rare, Lily thought it should not be difficult for him to get more.
âThereâs no more.â Benedict shook his head and sighed faintly. âThere wonât be anymore. I will never touch wood carving again,â Benedict said as he stared ahead blankly in a daze. Lily glanced at his hands and noticed visible calluses on his palms. People who often held chisels and dealt with wood carving would not only have calluses on their hands but also wounds.
She could tell Benedict was still passionate about this line of work. When she bumped into him at the woodcarving shop on the roadside that day, she could tell Benedict did it because he liked it. Now, he said that he would never touch wood carving again.
âWhy?â Lily thought Benedict must have had a reason. However, she should not invade his privacy, so she asked casually. As expected, Benedict did not answer her directly, âI heard youâre getting married soon, so take this as my wedding gift.â âA wedding gift?â Scrunching her nose, Lily said, âThatâs too stiny of you!â
âThe esteemed eldest son of the Tanner family only sent me a small backpack of wood as a wedding gift. There should at least be a truckload of it.â
âDo you want it or not? I can take it back!â He stretched his hand again. However, Lily took two steps back, âDonât even think about it!â
