Katherine also noticed Marshall’s gaze. She glanced at him and didn’t understand his meaning.
She didn’t know about luxuries and simply thought the tea set was delicate.
Except for the tea set itself, it was also equipped with teapot and tea cups, which made perfectly with the tea set for similar tones.
Younger Mrs. Grant picked up the teapot and checked it thoroughly.
Khalid went forward and said, “This seems to be an ancient teapot.”
Younger Mrs. Grant nodded and said, “This is made from purple clay. Well, there are also come tea cups. They look really nice.”
Marshall finally found what was inside the gift box.
He stood beside Katherine and finally said slowly, “Hector is really generous.”
At first, Katherine was smiling, however, after hearing his words, she frowned and looked at him with a terrible expression.
What did this have to do with Hector? What was wrong with Marshall?
Katherine couldn’t scold him in front of so many people and could only pretend that she had heard nothing.
Clara was standing in front of the door and also brought a gift.
Her gift was put on the sofa.
Younger Mr. Grant squatted on the other side and was very content of his gift.
Old Mrs. Grant didn’t know what to say and could only tell Katherine with a smile, “Your uncle is in love of drinking tea and have changed several tea sets. You really understand him well.”
Katherine also smiled and decided to thank Kyle the next time she saw him.
He was really her lucky star.
Mrs. Grant stood behind the crowd and snorted.
Old Mrs. Grant heard her voice and decided to ignore her.
Lucas stood aside and looked at them for a while, then he came beside Katherine and said, “It must take you a long time to pick this gift.”
Katherine was a bit awkward because the gift was sorted from the storeroom and she didn’t even bother choosing it at all.
However, she couldn’t tell them the truth.
She smiled and responded, “Yes, but it’s not a big problem for me.”
Younger Mr. Grant was going to use the tea set. He emptied the table, placed the tea set on it and brought some water.
His house really had a large living room that could contain all people.
Old Mrs. Grant sat on the sofa and asked Katherine to sit beside her.
She was always holding Katherine’s hand.
Katherine looked down on her hand and kind of noticed what was going on.
Clara came today. No matter what was Marshall’s relation with her. Old Mrs. Grant had to show everyone that Katherine meant a lot to the Grant family.
She was proving this not only to everyone in the Grant family, but also to Clara.
No matter how would Marshall and Clara end up with, old Mrs. Grant could only guarantee that Katherine was a good woman and deserved to be well-treated.
Clara was still standing in front of the door. Seeing Katherine was sitting beside old Mrs. Grant and Marshall, she tried hard to adjust her expression.
Actually, she had expected what would happen today.
She knew Katherine’s temper and got ready to be humiliated by her.
However, Katherine behaved nicely today and didn’t find her any trouble.
Younger Mr. Grant was concentrated. He told his wife to bring some tea and to boil the tea set.
He decided to use the extra one. It seemed he was really found of the gift.
Seeing this, Katherine couldn’t help thinking his serious look in normal times and found he was so different from those times.
Mrs. Grant thought for a while and brought Clara in. At first, Katherine’s another uncle was standing beside Marshall, now he had to move a little when seeing Mrs. Grant come.
Mrs. Grant brought Clara and sat beside Marshall.
Clara got close to Marshall with a curious look and said, “Well, I didn’t know younger Mr. Grant was so fond of tea culture.”
Actually, Clara had visited the Grant family’s old house before. At that time, she had just engaged with Marshall and it was natural for the two families to visit each other.
