Jonathan held the sachet tight, his excitement palpable as a surge of joy compelled him to admire it over
and over.
“Did you do the embroidery yourself?” he asked.
With a modest yet confident smile, Milly nodded. “Yes, I did. I realised it was your birthday and quickly got the materials last night to make it.”
Milly’s embroidery skills were anything but ordinary.
In her past life, the woman who ran the orphanage came from a line of palace embroiderers, meaning she had exceptional embroidery skills, Growing up under her influence and being a favourite, she learned many secretive and intricate embroidery techniques,
Therefore, her embroidery was truly unique and sure to please him.
However, after Jonathan inspected it, he commented with a hint of disdain, “Hmph, it’s pretty average. If you hadn’t told me it was a magpie, I would’ve thought it was a sparrow.”
Milly was taken aback, unsure if he was serious or just teasing her.
“If you don’t want it, just give it back to me, Milly said, her face cooling as she reached for the sachet.
However, Jonathan raised his hand to stop her, and said with a frown, “No, once a gift is given, there’s not taking it back.”
Milly fought the urge to roll her eyes.
Didn’t he say that it’s ugly?
Jonathan then fixed her with a serious look. “Is this sachet only for me? Did Jordan and the others get one, too?” he asked pointedly.
He continued, a bit bitterly, “No need to answer. You must’ve made them one too. You’re close to them, and they’re impressive. How could they be left out?”
Milly could not believe these harsh words were coming from her own brother.
Why was he behaving like this?
She sighed softly. People say a woman’s heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea, but she felt that the hearts of the Burnett men were just as inscrutable.
“I didn’t make one for them, It’s not their birthdays, so you’re the only one who got one,” she explained.
Jonathan’s eyes sparkled with joy and excitement, his face breaking into a wide, genuine smile.
“At least you have a bit of conscience,” he remarked, still smiling.
Milly just looked at him, speechless.

Meanwhile, Clark watched Jonathan return to the set, noticeably uplifted, and was quite surprised.
He had expected Jonathan to be downcast after spending the day filming with Oliver, but instead, Jonathan. seemed positively buoyant.
Had they made up?
Seeing Jonathan glowing with happiness, Clark had to ask, “Did something good happen?”
Jonathan’s grin widened. “How did you know something good happened?” he replied, still beaming.
The corner of Clark’s lips twitched.
Jonathan’s happiness was unmistakable as he practically radiated joy.
Approaching Clark with eagerness, he held up the sachet. “Notice anything different about me today?”
Clark took a moment to look at the sachet and commented, “Oh, is that a new sachet? It looks lovely.”
Today’s live recording had only six attendees, and he did not get along with Oliver at all. If this were from Oliver, he would be so mad he would storm right off, not treasuring it like he was now.
Suddenly, it clicked. Stephanie, the apparent heiress of the Burnetts and Jonathan’s sister, was known to be doted on by her family.
“Is this from your sister?” Clark guessed.
However, he was about to be proven wrong.
As Clark was wrapping up and hurrying back, his phone buzzed repeatedly in his pocket.
His forms had luen on lonathan the whole time
