"Really." Ethan set aside the gift box he was holding, "He also brought something else, specifically asking to be given to you. Must be a gift. Why don't you open it and see?"
A gift?
Xanthea couldn't wait to pull off the ribbon and lift the lid off the box. Inside, she found a set of iris jewelry made of the most delicate, shimmering, and translucent jade, wrapped in a subtle hint of lavender aura. She was utterly gobsmacked.
Wasn't this the same priceless, one-of-a-kind amethyst she had uncovered for Orion last time, valued at a hundred million? He had it meticulously crafted into iris-shaped jewelry to give to her.
The Nightshade family was equally stunned.
"This jewelry set is just too gorgeous!"
"Xan, isn't this the millennium amethyst that made the news before?"
"Not only did he turn such a precious stone into jewelry, but he also crafted it into Xan's favorite iris design. How thoughtful."
"Seriously, looking around, this is the only piece that's worthy of our little sister today."
Xanthea was overwhelmed with surprise and moved beyond words. She gently touched the exquisite amethyst jewelry and the inscription “To my beloved wife” etched below it, her heart warming slightly.
"Xan, come here. Let us put them on for you."
Christopher and Susanna carefully picked up the necklace and earrings from the box to adorn her with.
"Today you're getting married. From now on, your dad, me and your brothers can't always be by your side. You and Orion must cherish and love each other, live harmoniously, and not throw little princess tantrums like before. Don't worry us."
