Chapter 1023
Ruth wore an off–shoulder pink dress, looking youthful.
She lowered her head slightly. Her cheeks were flushed, obviously a little shy.
She followed Daniel into the cafe. She did not dare to look into his eyes when they sat down opposite each other. She lowered her head and took out a gift box.
“Mr. Jones, this is a gift from me. I hope you like it.”
Daniel was stunned. He had not expected her to bring him gifts. He initially did not want it, but at that moment, he could not bring himself to reject it.
‘I have a few gifts with me, too. If I were to reject her gifts, she might reject mine, too. I‘ll be in trouble later on.
“Thank you, Ms. Willis.”
He took the gift and put it on the table.
Ruth blinked and said, “Don‘t you want to see what‘s in it?”
Daniel suddenly felt a rush when he saw those eyes.
He coughed and shifted his gaze to the gift box. It was a black tie, embellished with diamond–shaped plaids. The design looked fashionable and unique.
“I like it,” he said genuinely.
“That’s great.” Ruth looked happy as she smiled happily. “Mr. Jones, you don’t have to call me Ms. Willis. You can call me Ruth.”
“Ms. Ruth…”
“Mr. Jones, you don’t have to call me Miss. It sounds as if we’re strangers.”
He coughed and said, “Ruth, you don’t have to call me Mr. Jones, too. Call me Daniel.”
“You look like you’re older than me, aren’t you?” Ruth’s eyes lit up.
