At that moment, Nicholas, who had been standing next to Caleb, pulled out a box.
He handed it to Bianca with both his hands and suggested, “Open it up and take a look, Old Mrs. Yates.”
Bianca didn't care if the gifts were expensive. All that mattered to her was if any thought had been put into selecting it.
She had lived for a very long time. When she was younger, she had followed Keanu when he was piloting a plane or going to the battlefield. Now that she was getting on in the years, all she wanted was the company of her descendants.
It was why, unlike the surrounding guests, she wasn't excited to see what kind of expensive gift Nicholas had prepared. After all, she had seen plenty of those in her life already.
She gently opened the box.
When Bianca saw the handkerchief inside the box, her expression changed, and she stood abruptly. “This is...”
She carefully took the handkerchief out and stared at it seriously with wide eyes.
The crowd was confounded by her reaction as they thought it was just a normal handkerchief.
They didn't understand why she had such a big reaction.
Bianca examined the handkerchief with awe and disbelief. “This flower was done by using an overlock stitch while this bird was sewn using a straight stitch! Look at this! The large word 'Longevity' here is made up of a hundred smaller 'Longevity!' Don't look down on this small handkerchief. Even a master embroiderer like Leslie wouldn't be able to create such perfect stitches!”
“Are you kidding me, Old Mrs. Yates? Does this small handkerchief really have a hundred 'Longevity' words on it?” Someone couldn't help but question because they found it hard to believe.
“It really does!” Bianca smiled. “Matilda, bring me a magnifying glass.”
Matilda quickly went to grab a magnifying glass. Thankfully, the castle had everything, and all the tools inside were stored tidily.
After a while, she returned with a magnifying glass. Bianca grabbed it and positioned it above the “Longevity” word.
