Chapter: 24
This year, | need to come up with something unique and make sure she loves the gift | give her.” Millie’s eyes lit up, her curiosity piqued.
Everyone in the Thomas family would be there if Claudia Thomas held a birthday party.
Leon, in particular, would undoubtedly be there. Millie could use this opportunity to talk to him and convince him to operate on her grandmother.
Bruce stroked his chin absentmindedly. Then, he looked at Millie with a spark of excitement in his eyes.
“Millie, what gift did Marcus prepare? | helped you earlier, didn’t I? If it weren’t for me, you'd still be starving right now. You should thank me by telling me what Marcus prepared for Grandma.”
Millie shook her head. “Unfortunately, | don’t know.”
She had only found out about Claudia’s birthday party moments ago. How would she know what Marcus had planned?
Bruce paused, and a look of dismay spread across his face.
“But | can help you choose a gift your grandmother will surely love. It'll be even better than Marcus’s present,” Millie suggested.
Bruce shook his head, unconvinced, and continued scrolling down his phone. “You don’t even know Grandma to begin with, much less have any idea what she’s like.
You don’t know what she'd want.” Millie did not give up.
“Hey, don’t underestimate me. Your grandmother has probably seen enough jewellery for one lifetime. I’m sure she’s already seen all kinds of precious gems, given her social standing. We should go with something meaningful rather than merely luxurious.”
Millie correctly guessed Bruce’s worries and sentiments. It was for that reason that he had not bought anything, despite browsing for jewellery for so long.
“How about this? Tell me what your grandmother likes, and I'll design a piece of jewellery according to her preferences. Your grandmother will definitely love that,” Millie proposed.
After a moment of disbelief, Bruce asked, “You'll design it? But you said earlier that you're not a jewellery designer and only drew those sketches because you were bored.”
Millie flashed a nervous grin and cleared her throat. She had only denied being a jewellery designer because she did not want to reveal too much about herself to a Thomas family member. She had no idea that Claudia’s birthday was coming up so soon.
“{ didn’t tell you the truth earlier because | didn’t know if you were a good person. | can tell you now, though, that | can design jewellery, so don’t worry. I'll help you with your grandmother's gift under one condition.”
Bruce was not a jewellery expert, but even he could tell that her sketches were polished and well-thought-out. A sketch like that would not have tumed out nearly as nice if it had been just drawn out of boredom.
“Alright, Millie. I’m going to put my trust in you. | don’t know if this will help, but my grandmother's favourite flower is magnolia. Now, tell me what you want.” NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
