Bring Your A Game, Mr novel Chapter 174

“Alright, but there’s something I have to tell you first,” Elise said.

Upon hearing that, Alexander put down his tableware and looked at her seriously. “Go on.”

“I want our engagement to be simple,” she quickly mumbled. “A meal with our families will be enough.”

“Is this what you want?” After Elise nodded her head, he continued, “Since it’s what you want, that’s settled, then. Is there anyone in the family that you want to invite other than your grandfather and grandmother?”

“No, it’s just them. I’ll invite the others to our wedding.”

“Okay, that settles it, then. We’ll do it after the New Year.”

When they finally came to an agreement, Elise secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Every girl more or less hoped for a perfect wedding once in their life, but since Jonah passed away not long ago, it wouldn’t be appropriate for them to have a grand ceremony, so they decided to keep it simple.

After their meal, she went back to her room and sat in front of the window alone. As she gazed outside the window thinking about something, someone knocked on the door.

“Who is it?” The moment she said that, Alexander opened the door and entered. “Why are you here?” she asked. When she saw the exquisite box in his hands, she walked over to him.

“Here you go. It’s for you.”

Upon seeing that, Elise felt rather confused. “And this is?”

“Your Christmas present.”

She received the box in disbelief and as soon as she opened it, she was shocked. “This...”

She wanted to say something, but words just couldn’t come out of her mouth for some reason.

“It’s the blood jade that we found from the mine before. I asked the company’s designers to turn it into a bracelet. It looks quite good.”

Elise knew all of this and at the same time, she knew that it was very valuable. All this time, she thought that Alexander would use the blood jade for commercial purposes, so she never expected him to turn it into an accessory, never mind give it to her as a gift.

“Why are you giving this to me?”

“Because it suits you. Keep it.”

After that, he turned around and left.

Looking at his back, she uttered, “Thank you!”

As soon as he left, the room returned to normal again. As Elise stared at the blood jade bracelet, she couldn’t help but reveal a delighted smile.

Has he... fallen in love with me too? The moment the idea came up in her mind, she quickly shook her head and her eyes darkened. He is probably doing all this for Grandpa. After all, if it weren’t for his last wish, Alexander wouldn’t have agreed to get engaged with me, never mind giving me such a gift.

Deep down, Elise knew clearly that all of this was because of Jonah.

……...

The next day, Elise went back to school, but her mind was obviously miles away. Even though she was holding a pen with her head down, she wasn’t writing anything. In the end, Mikayla quickly went over to her and patted her shoulder. “Elise, what are you thinking about? You seem to be lost in your own thoughts.”

Elise came back around and realized that she hadn’t written a word in her book. “It’s nothing,” she mumbled.

Looking at her reaction, Mikayla giggled. It seems like Jack was telling the truth.

“Oh—in other words, the two of you thought about it before, right?”

“Look at yourself—it’s obvious that you know what you want.” Elise could finally see the problem between the two of them, but Mikayla was still oblivious about it. The problem is that Mikayla is always the one calling the shots in their relationship.
