Chapter 1011

On the other hand, after Charlotte got the gift that Aaron handed her.

She dragged her heavy steps from Room Nine back to Room Two.

Cecelia had come with her today, and she had to go back and finish the

boring piano concert with Cecelia.

The gift in her hand was heavy, and she didn't know what was inside.

She was already so tired after the long walk, and now she had to carry

such a heavy gift. She had now nothing but resentment in her mind.

But alas, it was Luther that called her out. How could she get angry at

him?

None of the things that were expected were realized.

She had hoped that the relationship between the two families could get

better but eventually they did not even meet Luther.

Charlotte returned to Room Two in despair.

By the time she arrived, the concert had already started, and she heard

the mesmerizing sound of piano coming from inside, and it looked like

Cecelia had got in first.

She walked in alone and went into the reserved box.

Cecelia saw Charlotte walk in and asked gently, "What took you so

long? Where are your friends?"

Charlotte placed the gift in her hands on the table.

"Oh, he booked the private box, but he had something to do tonight and

couldn't come. I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't hear him clearly before, and I

thought he would come along." Charlotte sat down in the seat next to

Cecelia.

“It's okay. It's rare for us to have a chance to come out together. I think

it's great.” Cecelia smiled.

"What is this?" Cecelia asked, pointing to the box Charlotte had brought

in, "It looks heavy."

"Oh, let's see, it's from a friend. I don't know what's inside.” Charlotte

said as she unwrapped the gift, and inside was a large red velvet box.

She opened the velvet box and it turned out to be a pair of toads made

of gold. The toads were studded with colorful gems, and obviously it

was clear that they were worth a lot of money.

Cecelia glanced at it and frowned slightly.

She had never been a fan of these flashy things, let alone mundane

things like gold.

Charlotte's face changed.

Although Luther was rich, he should know better than just sending a

pair of gold toads to Cecelia. The Heath family was never short of

money so how would they like such a vulgar gift.

She expected Luther to prepare a more elaborate gift, or at least

something novel.

She didn't expect it to be this.

It simply could not be more vulgar. It looked more like a gift that should

be sent between business partners.

Her heart welled up with endless disappointment and loss.

"Who sent you this? Your friend?" Cecelia asked.

"Ah, yes!" Charlotte bit her lip in embarrassment. She was glad that she

hadn't said from the beginning that Luther had booked the box for

them, or that it was a gift from Luther to Cecelia.

Now that they had all seen the gift, she had to say it was something for

herself.

"Heh." Cecelia smiled and didn't comment on the gift anymore, "Some

day you have to send a gift back, perhaps a set of gold jewelry.”

Cecelia thought that the friend Charlotte was talking about was a girl.

"Okay, got it." Charlotte thought Cecelia must have felt that her friend

was too tacky, so she asked her to give the same gold jewelry in return.

Today, she had no choice but to bear it all herself.

She dared not talk about Luther.

However, she always had doubts in her mind.

Did Luther really have to return to Khebury on such short notice, and he

did not have the time to prepare a gift, so he just took a usual business

gift from his car?

Or could it be...

Luther never really wanted to see Cecelia from the beginning?

Charlotte shook her head. She was confused, and she would rather

believe that Luther was sincere.
