Chapter 1444

"Romeo is such a big spender, just look at this chess set he got me; Darren exclaimed with a mix of admiration and bewilderment.

"You can't just find a fine set like this every day, even if you had the cash. | can't figure out where the kid managed to dig this up.

He's really outdone himself this time.

Belinda chimed in with a warm smile, "And the painting he gave me, it's just to my taste. Not only is the craftsmanship top-notch,

but every flower, every tree in it is so full of meaning. The boy is wishinga life filled with blessings, longevity, and smooth

sailing."

Her grin was so wide it looked like it wouldn't fit on her face.

Bard, holding the vase in his hands, added his praises, "The kid really put his heart into this one. | saw this vase at the auction

earlier this year. Missed out on bidding, and it nagged atfor a while. How he got wind of it and managed to get it from that

collector, of all people, and even in the original box"

It was no small feat, that was for sure.

The collector who had snagged the vase was a man who wouldn't part with his treasures for all the money in the world.

So for Romeo to have gotten his hands on that vase was a marvel in itself.

“Last tRomeo visited, he must have noticed my love for tea. He went out of his way to bringthis beautiful tea set" Eunice

said, her eyes softening at the memory.

The set had caused quite a stir at the auction because of its unique design.

It was known to enhance the flavor of the tea, making it a coveted item among tea enthusiasts.

Eunice had wanted it, but out of consideration for a business partner who was also set on acquiring it, she stepped back.

"Romeo filled a gap | had resigned myself to, Eunice said, her smile as beautiful as it was grateful.

“We really need to show our appreciation for all these precious gifts he's given us. It's clear he values Bella and respects us elders.

But with things happening so suddenly last night, | feel awful we couldn't host him properly,"

Darren said, feeling apologetic.

"Don't worry about it,” Belinda reassured. "Let's have Bella ask him when he's free to cover. We should return the favor.

Eunice, you always have the best ideas. What do you think we should give him?"

They wanted to find a gift that was far from ordinary, something that would really touch his heart, but Belinda was at a loss for

what that could be.

“Bella knows his tastes best, doesn't she?" Eunice suggested with a knowing smile, turning to Arabella.

All eyes turned to Arabella, who suddenly realized that she hadn't paid much attention to Romeo's preferences. She was at a loss

for what he truly liked or wanted.

“Bella, what have you given him in the past that he's been happiest with?"

Belinda asked curiously.

"Me?" Arabella said truthfully. "Even if it's just a mug or a tie, he's always happy".

"He's not picky.” Belinda realized. "Well, that makes it easy then. Whatever's rare and valuable, that's what we'll go with."

"LT think” Eunice said thoughtfully, "that boy just wants to be accepted by our family. It probably doesn't matter what we give him.

Even just inviting him over would make him happy"

Although Eunice said this, everyone agreed that they should still reciprocate Romeo's thoughtful gifts with something that showed

their affection and approval.

As the farnily discussed the matter of the gift, Serena stormed off to her room, fuming. She checked her phone, and still, Martin

hadn't reached out to her!

She thought Martin was playing hard to get with her! She was seething with frustration and indignation.
