Chapter 477 A Precious Gift
Chapter 477 A Precious Gift
After the ceremony, it was time to eat.
Although the ceremony was simple, it could be seen from the banquet that The McCarthy family had
really put in a lot of effort.
"I can't make it sound grand. I'll work hard in other places." NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
The dishes at the banquet were exquisite and beautiful, with all kinds of colors, aroma, and tastes. It
was obvious that they were not the usual dishes.
After asking for a while, she found out that it was the chef specially invited by Archie's grandma.
Of course, the national banquet was good. Since he was willing to lower himself to cook for this small
ceremony, she could see the purpose of it.
After the wedding banquet, Archie's grandma arranged for the guests to leave.
Natalia and Archie McCarthy's wedding room were still Pinewood Manor.
This place was surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery was beautiful. There was a
mountain road outside, which effectively formed a natural protective circle. The security was very good.
Most importantly, it was close to the company.
For them, the wedding was just a formality anyway, so the wedding room didn't matter. It was
convenient for them to live there.
The two of them walked out together. Brian Simpson had already been waiting outside in a car, ready
to send them home.
"I didn't expect to meet someone who I didn't expect to meet here as soon as I walked to the door."
Natalia, we meet again. "
Natalia let go of Archie McCarthy's hand and looked at Pierre Lafayette, who was standing in front of
her. The joy on her face suddenly disappeared. Mr. Lafayette. "I heard that you got married today, so I
prepared some gifts. It seems that I'm late. "
Pierre Lafayette said as he took out a gift box from the car.
Natalia glanced at him without too much emotion on her face." Thank you. Thank you so much. "
Her tone was cold, and the atmosphere was a little stiff.
After all, today was a happy day. No one wanted to make the atmosphere too stiff.
Archie McCarthy winked at Brian Simpson, who quickly stepped forward to take it.
When Pierre Lafayette saw this, he did not say anything. He gave the item to Natalia and said, "I know
that you don't want to see me, but no matter what, you are also my big brother's child. It is reasonable
that I should come over when you get married."
Natalia pursed her lips. "I see."
"Yo, isn't this Mr. Lafayette?"
A mocking voice suddenly came from behind. Everyone turned around and saw William McCarthy
walking out with the help of the butler.
Pierre Lafayette curled his lips. "It's been a while since we last saw each other. William McCarthy has
become more and more healthy."
William McCarthy looked at him with a smile. "It's all thanks to The Lafayette Family. They gave me
such a good granddaughter-in-law. Of course, I'm happy. I'll be fine as soon as I'm happy."
These words were full of pride and showing off. Natalia couldn't help but twitch her mouth.
"Grandpa, it's windy outside. Get in the car quickly!"
"No rush, Mr. Lafayette. Since you're here, why don't we go to my house together? We've known each
other for a long time! How about eating and chatting?"
Pierre Lafayette said with a smile, "Since you invited me with great kindness, then I shall do right now."
William McCarthy nodded and looked at Natalia next to him.
His gaze immediately softened.
"Natalia, will you go home with Archie after dinner?"
Natalia turned to look at Archie McCarthy and saw him nod in agreement.
Then they returned to the old house.
A group of people sat down in the living room, and servants served tea.
As the old man drank his tea, he proudly looked at Pierre Lafayette.
"Alas! Mr. Lafayette came here today to send Natalia a wedding gift, right? What is it? Come on! Show
it to my grandpa."
William McCarthy's intention to tease him was as obvious as possible.
Natalia felt embarrassed for him, but the rest of the people acted as if nothing had happened. Even
Pierre Lafayette, who had been teased, looked calm.
"I have already handed it over to Natalia. If William McCarthy wants to see it, I can't take it out now."
Pierre Lafayette successfully kicked the ball back.
William McCarthy turned to look at Natalia.
"Natalia, what did he give you? Show it to grandpa. If it's not good enough, just throw it back. Anyway,
we don't need his help."
Natalia was amused by William McCarthy and looked at Archie McCarthy next to him.
Archie McCarthy winked at Brian Simpson, who immediately went out.
Before long, he came in with a gift box.
The gift box was not big, only half an arm high. Brian Simpson put the box on the table and respectfully
left.
William McCarthy snorted. "Natalia, go! Open it and have a look."
Natalia had no choice but to get up and open the box.
When the red wedding box was opened, there was a delicate and shiny black box inside.
The box was made of wood, but she didn't know what kind of wood it was. The color was so strange,
and it didn't look like it was sprayed with a spray, but more like a natural color.
Not only that, but the wooden box also gave off a faint, intoxicating fragrance. It was a little like
sandalwood, but it was not.
Natalia couldn't help but frown. She couldn't help but be curious about the things in the box.
Pierre Lafayette watched from the side and laughed.
She opened the knot on the box with her slender fingers.
There was a sparkling white jade plate lying inside. It was hollow in the middle, carved with dragons
and phoenixes. It was exquisite and lifelike.
She was stunned and couldn't help but reach out to touch it. However, as soon as her fingertips
touched the jade plate, she felt a chill from her fingertips and spread all over her limbs.
Natalia was shocked and took a step back.
Archie McCarthy's expression changed. He quickly stepped forward to help her up and asked with
concern, "What's wrong?"
Natalia shook her head, still in a trance.
After a while, she finally came to her senses and turned to look at Pierre Lafayette, who was sitting
aside with an enigmatic smile on his face.
Pierre Lafayette's gaze was like a torch as he looked at her with a smile.
The atmosphere in the room was a little silent. Seeing that no one spoke, William McCarthy was a little
confused.
"What's wrong? Natalia, what did he give you? Why didn't you say anything?"
Natalia pursed her lips and slightly moved away. She said to William McCarthy, "Grandpa, Mr.
Lafayette's gift is too valuable. I can't accept it."
William McCarthy was stunned, and Pierre Lafayette frowned slightly.
"What's too expensive to accept?"
He walked forward curiously. When he saw the jade plate in the box, his eyes lit up.
"This..."
William McCarthy stepped forward quickly and said excitedly, "This... this is..."
Pierre Lafayette's lips curled slightly. "William McCarthy, don't be too excited. Be careful not to ruin your
health."
His tone was obviously teasing.
However, at this time, William McCarthy didn't even have the time to argue with him. He just stared
straight at the jade plate in the box and couldn't move his eyes away.
