After dinner, Angela and the others had left. Joseph called Trevor to the study.
"Trevor, if you want to give Angela a gift, why not present it yourself? Why does it have to come from me?" Joseph asked, puzzled.
Trevor chuckled. "Grandpa, didn't you ask me this question a few days ago? I was concerned that she wouldn't accept the gift if I gave it to her since she's still upset with me. I just wanted to make her happy."
Joseph looked at him helplessly. "If you'd been... Forget it. It's important to admit mistakes and correct them. Just be kind in the future. Alright?"
Trevor nodded in agreement and spent some time sitting with Joseph. Then, he left.
The bracelet was indeed from him. It had a special effect, and as long as she continued to wear it, its effects would soon reveal themselves. Trevor eagerly anticipated that moment.
On the way back, Angela constantly glanced at the bracelet on her wrist, occasionally using her phone's flashlight to admire the floating flowers inside. It was stunning.
"Why didn't you mention sooner that you love bracelets? I'll buy you a bunch of them tomorrow." Dexter glanced at her. Seeing her happy made him speechless.
Angela pouted. "What do you know? This is a gift from Grandpa. It's not just beautiful. It also carries a subtle, indescribable fragrance."
Dexter snorted. "It's impossible for the bracelet to emit any fragrance. It likely comes from the scent of the box where Grandpa stored it."
Angela ignored him. As she neared home, she suddenly remembered that Dexter's birthday was in two days.
"I asked Joanne to book a club at our branch company and invited your friends. You must join us when the time comes." The smile on her face lingered. When she gazed at him, her eyes sparkled, enhancing her gentle and enchanting beauty.
