Chapter 1442
‘Why are they giving me another present? What was that money pouch they gave me last time?’ thought Stella as Wilfred handed her a box.
She was about to decline when Trevor intervened, saying, ° It's a heartfelt gesture from your grandparents. You should accept it.”
Upon hearing that, Stella found it hard to refuse. She took the present and said, "Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma.” Following that, Daryl also handed her a gift box. "Stella, this is a gift from me and your aunt. We hope you like it.”
This left Stella stunned. Soon, everyone in the family was giving her gifts. Even Leighton's younger brother, Noah, who was 12 years old, prepared one for her. Before she knew it,
Stella held a pile of presents from her relatives.
Trevor helped her carry some of them and said, "Let me keep these for you. We'll go through the gift receipts together after the party.”
Stella's heart skipped a beat. "Gift receipts?”
Trevor chuckled. "Yeah. Did you think everyone's here just to see you?”
Wenham held a prominent position in the business world, and with his outgoing personality, he made friends everywhere. He would make sure to send gifts and monetary contributions for weddings, funerals, and other occasions back in Hustuabourg, even if he was abroad and could not be present.
Since the Saun family had not held any large-scale events for joyous occasions, and considering Wenham's generosity, this banquet was essentially a way for the people to reciprocate.
Stella looked at the sea of people and realized that the banquet hall would be filled with presents if everyone gave a gift.
“Enjoy it while you can,” said Trevor.
