Wife Back 468
Chapter 468 Trying to Win Me Overnoveldrama
Charlotte looked at Pete with a blank expression.
She thought, "Don't think you can just talk your way out of this!"
In the end, Pete relented, laughing as he shook his head. He said, "Alright, let's see if you have time tomorrow. If you do, would you mind coming with me to check it out?"
He softened his tone, looking at her with a gentle gaze.
Charlotte replied, "We'll talk tomorrow."
Pete smiled and took a small box out of his pocket, handing it to her. "This is a gift for Julius, just a little carved trinket. I'm sure kids would like it."
Charlotte was surprised but quickly shook her head. "You don't have to give a gift. Please, don't be so polite."
"You're the one being polite here," Pete replied, placing the box on the console table. "What's wrong with a senior giving a gift to a junior? And I'm telling you, this gift is for Julius. You're not allowed to keep it."
With that, he turned and left.
Charlotte was speechless.
She couldn't help but feel helpless. Turning around, she called for Julius and added, "Say thank you to Mr. Helberg."
"Thank you, Mr. Helberg," Julius obediently said.
Pete had already entered the elevator, waving at them as the doors closed.
After closing the door, Charlotte opened the box and found a delicate jade pendant inside. The surface was smooth and lustrous, and there were intricate patterns on the surface. It looked exquisite.
A hint of surprise crossed Charlotte's face, and she picked it up. "Try wearing it." Julius's eyes brightened when he saw the pendant. It was indeed beautiful!
"It's nice." Charlotte nodded in approval.
Julius held the pendant in his hand for a moment, then said, "Mom, he's trying to win me over."
"How could that be?" Charlotte denied his words. "He's just giving you a gift."
Julius said seriously, "No. He wants to pursue you. He's trying to win me over so I can speak well of him."
Charlotte patted his head. "Julius,
you're thinking too much. Right now, you should be thinking about taking a bath and getting ready for bed!"
Cent belongs to
Julius pursed his lips and nodded.
In the room, he took off the pendant and examined it carefully. He thought, "It's beautiful, but it doesn't seem suitable for me. Since it is a gift forme, it is mine, right? I can give it to someone else, right?"
The next day, he gave the pendant to Mabel.
Mabel was delighted, holding it and admiring it constantly.
"This is so beautiful!" she exclaimed, then looked at Julius with a wide smile.
"Thank you! I really like this birthday gift!"
Birthday?
Julius's eyes flickered. He hadn't even realized today was her birthday!
But as long as she liked it, that was fine!
Evie had come to change Charlotte's bandages, and when she came out, she
saw the two kids playing together with building blocks.
She said, "Today's Mabel's birthday. I'm hosting a dinner tonight. I've already
called Diana. You can invite Tina to join us, too."
Charlotte blinked. "Why are you telling me now?"
Evie chuckled, "What's wrong? Did I delay your big gift?"
Charlotte rolled her eyes at her helplessly, then turned to Mabel. "Mabel, would you like to go shopping with me?"
Mabel looked at her. "Ms. Lottie, you don't have to buy me a gift. He already gave me one!"
She then proudly showed off the pendant.
Seeing this, Charlotte couldn't help but twitch her lips.
She thought, "Well, Julius sure knows how to handle things!"
"But I want to go shopping. Come with me, okay?" Charlotte said, insisting. She thought, "It's a child's birthday, and kids really care about the ceremony."
