Upon seeing the situation, Seraphina took about two seconds to react. Not wanting to dampen the child’s enthusiasm or kindness, she smiled and accepted the gift.
“Thank you, little Dani; I really love it, she said as she carefully placed it on the far side of the table, as far from herself as possible.
Her head was spinning! This was troublesome.
Excited, little Dani pulled out a gift box, about the size of a shoebox, and opened it directly in front of her.
I’ve collected gemstones from all around the world and made a gemstone portrait for you. It’s one of a kind.”
Seraphina glanced at it and saw a picture frame outlined in gold, simple yet elegant, exuding luxury.
Inside was a photo taken during their trip to Frencette a casual shot, just of her.
The picture had been transformed. The transformation divided every inch of the photo into different color blocks, ranging from light to dark.
Instead of using colors to fill the sections, they were filled with gemstones of varying colors. They cut each one the same size into small square shapes with a slight beveled edge, and each facet caught the light. sparkling brilliantly. It was majestic and cold.
The display carried an aura of nobility with a hint of tackiness.
Seraphina, knowing the value of such treasures–it wasn’t easy to gather such a wide range of natural gemstones, let alone grind them into identical sizes. The process would have involved discarding Significant amounts of material.
He couldn’t give her gold, so he gave her gemstones instead.
This was truly the most extravagant photo in the world.
Noticing her surprised expression, little Dani puffed up with pride.
“Ms. Lovely, you must love it so much you don’t even know what to say, right?”
Seraphina’s hand trembled slightly as she instinctively glanced at him.

If she accepted the gift, its value exceeded any reasonable limit.
Wilson cleared his throat..
“Ms. Cross, since this is a small token of Dani’s affection, you should just accept it. Compared to what he owes you, this is nothing.”
Little Dani nodded seriously and agreed, “Right, it’s nothing!”
After a few moments of silence, Seraphina finally nodded.

“Alright, I really like it. Thank you, Dani.”
She placed the photo next to the bouquet of flowers.
But for a moment, she felt something strange. It felt off.
The picture, the flowers, and the candle on the side all make a statement.
It all looked cerily like a memorial shrine.
With mixed emotions, Seraphina let herself be pulled to her seat by an excited Dani.
She lowered her head to browse through the menu,

Wilson had confessed his feelings to her earlier, so she tried her best to mask the odd feeling within her.
The two of them avoided talking about past events, which kept things from getting awkward. Wilson occasionally served both her and little Dani. Seraphina could sense his lingering gaze on her from time to
time.
But she pretended not to notice.
After dinner, Wilson drove her home.
Little Dani had already fallen asleep in the car from exhaustion.
As she stepped out with Tigris in her arm, Wilson handed her the box. He stood tall, his expression apologetic as he spoke softly..
“Little Dani doesn’t understand the meaning behind flowers. I’ll make sure to teach him.”
Seraphina chuckled and said, “It’s fine. He didn’t mean anything by it.”
Wilson’s expression softened, and he offered, “Next time, I’ll have him bring roses. Do you like those?”
He was testing the waters.
Seraphina immediately caught on to what he meant.
Roses? Weren’t those only given by lovers?
“I prefer cactus,” she replied, deflecting the gesture.
A cactus was something that kept people at a distance.
Wilson raised his eyebrow and chuckled softly.
