“How can you carry three suitcases by yourself? Let me take one.“ Without speaking further, Madeline carried the black box in one hand and the suitcase in the other.
“Lily, come to me now. We’ll go back to the hotel together.“
Lillian heard Madeline calling out to her, but the little cutie was still looking in the direction Evan had driven away for a while before she turned to follow behind Madeline.
Of course, Madeline and Jeremy could sense how Lillian felt, but neither of them spoke.
After returning to the hotel, Madeline placed the little black box on the bed and called out to Lillian.
“Lily, this is a gift from Fabian. Let’s see what’s inside.“
Lillian blinked her big beautiful eyes and stretched out her small hand to pull the ribbon apart. Madeline then helped to open the box.
After opening it, Madeline felt a bright light flashing into her eyes. Upon closer inspection, she discovered that inside the box was a dazzling crown studded with rhinestones.
Lillian could not speak, but Madeline saw surprise and curiosity in her big pure eyes.
The little girl would not understand, but as a girl, she would have a natural affection for such beautiful
ornaments. Additionally, this crystal crown was very beautiful, and it looked custom-made.
“Why did Fabian give such an expensive thing to Lily?“ Jeremy walked over. He could instantly see that the rhinestones on this crown were all genuine.
As a professional, Madeline could also see the value of this crown.
Madeline did not answer Jeremy’s question. She lowered her eyes and approached her before asking with a loving and gentle smile.
“Lily, do you like it?“
Lillian nodded. Her sweet dimples danced on the sides of her lips.
