Chapter 384 Meeting the Family
As Seraphina was leaving work, she spotted an unexpected visitor in the company lobby.
“Mr. Rockwell?”
Wilson smiled warmly. His gentle demeanor radiates kindness, making it hard for him not to stand out.
He held a small, deep blue gift box with him. When Seraphina approached, Wilson handed it over to her.
“A gift from Dani,” he said softly. “Please, you must accept it.”
Seraphina blinked in surprise but quickly accepted the box.
“Where’s little Dani?” she asked, remembering how he always insisted on delivering gifts himself, both endearing and serious.
Wilson cleared his throat and said, “He’s at tutoring. No time to come out.”
Seraphina chuckled but couldn’t help wondering what might be inside the box. Could it be chrysanthemums?
“Aren’t you going to open it?” Wilson encouraged with a slight smile.
Raising an eyebrow, Seraphina slowly opened the box. Her smile faltered for a moment.
Wow! It was a beautifully crafted chrysanthemum, entirely made of gold.
At the base of the flower was the emblem of a well–known luxury brand.
Custom–made, no doubt.
Tacky, yet undeniably extravagant.
She felt a slight tremor inside but maintained her smile. “This is quite valuable.”
Though compared to the diamonds Dani had gifted her in the past, this hardly measured up. Still, how. could a child casually give away gold and diamonds?
She struggled to find the right words.
Noticed her dazed expression, Wilson chuckled softly.
“It was too late to stop him when I learned he had picked this design, but hey, at least it’s a pretty flower, right? It could make a lovely decoration.”
Wilson reminded her considerately.
Well, a golden chrysanthemum certainly beats a regular one, Seraphina mused, nodding in agreement.
“You’re right. Oh, by the way, I’ve prepared a little something for him too,” she said.
“Oh?”

She patted the half–human–sized box and grinned.
“Lego?” Wilson guessed, eyebrows raised.
Seraphina shook her head.
“He’s been taking language lessons–19 different languages, to be exact. These are his textbooks.”
Wilson froze for a moment before bursting into laughter.
This gift is absolutely perfect! Incredibly thoughful.
“That’s a perfect gift, Ms. Cross! He’ll definitely study harder now.”
Would Dani be thrilled or overwhelmed by this?
Wilson could already picture the look on his son’s face when he saw the gift.
As the two were chatting, someone crept in without them noticing.
Finished
“There you are! The employees are unsure of when to clock out. Emeris called out, feigning sternness.
Seraphina raised an eyebrow, then warmly linked her arm through his. “Are you personally here to pick me up from work, dear father?”
Emeris gave her a playful eye–roll, though he subtly glanced at Wilson.
“Mr. Rockwell?”
Wilson greeted him politely. His respectful and sincere demeanor left a favorable impression.
“I happened to be nearby after fishing with a friend,” Emeris explained casually. I decided to drop by and extend an invitation to everyone for dinner.
