He had received this package when he had paid Irene's debt.
The day he had paid Irene's debts, he had gotten Mr. Swen to send him Irene's grandmother's bracelet. He told them to send it to the place where he was studying foreign languages.
When he received her grandmother's bracelet, he was planning to find a good time to return the bracelet to Irene.
He never thought that he would return home to see Irene and Sam talking together.
Knock! Knock!
There was a knock on the door.
"Mr. Lucas, I've cut some fruits for you! Have some!" Irene stood outside the door of his room with a plate in her hand. It was the fruits that she had just cut.
Lucas placed the bracelet back into his bag. He walked to the door but did not open it. "I'm not eating."
He knew that those fruits were meant for Sam.
Irene had expected this answer from Lucas, but she still felt a little sad. She wanted to repair her relationship with Lucas, but Lucas was like a prickly porcupine. Although she knew that he was a good porcupine, she could not get close to him.
She took the fruits back to the kitchen and ate them slice by slice.
She usually did not eat fruits. Fruits were expensive, and she could not afford them, especially mangoes.
She knew that they were expensive, so she had deliberately bought them.
She did not like the smell of mangoes. She bore the scent and took a bite. It was surprisingly sweet. The scent grew pleasant.
"I'm retired. I don't need a bodyguard."
"If someone were to recognize you right now, I'm sure that would cause a commotion! You should still hire one or two bodyguards. It's not like you're short of money anyway," Avery said.
"I do have bodyguards, I just didn't ask them to follow me," Eric picked up the menu. After ordering some food, he returned the menu to the waiter.
"When are you and Nadia getting married?" Elliot asked.
Avery immediately nudged Elliot with her elbow. "He doesn't necessarily need to get married! When he decides to get married, he will send us an invitation."
Soon after, food was served. Avery picked up her cutlery, about to dig in.
Right at this moment, Layla, together with the prince of Creolia, knocked on their door and entered their private room.
