His Wicked Obsession (Archer and Virginia) novel Chapter 119

Today, Virginia wore a misty blue silk blouse paired with high-waisted charcoal jeans, her hair casually held up with a jade hairpin. She looked effortlessly elegant.

Cindy was dressed in a pure white tutu dress, her large, obsidian-like eyes darting around. She looked like a precious little porcelain doll.

The little girl tilted her head back and tugged at Virginia's pant leg.

"Mommy, do you think Grandma will like it?" she asked innocently, eyeing the beautifully carved wooden box in Virginia's hands.

"She will," Virginia smiled, reaching out to fix the crooked bow on the girl's head. "Let's go in."

At that moment, the living room was packed with guests.

As the woman of the hour, Madeline wore a deep burgundy dress. Her well-maintained face was adorned with a flawless, practiced smile as she mingled with her wealthy friends.

Chloe stood close by her side, draped in the latest haute couture—a soft, pale yellow ruffled gown with her hair cascading gracefully over her shoulders. A dazzling pink diamond bracelet glittered on her wrist.

Not far off, Archer and George Caldwell were deep in conversation.

The rest of the room was filled with ladies and socialites chatting in small groups.

Virginia paused for a fraction of a second before her expression smoothed over.

"Happy birthday, Mom," she said, walking over and offering the intricately carved box with both hands.

Madeline took it, opened the lid, and stared blankly at the contents.

It was The Hundred Blessings Embroidery.

The tapestry shimmered delicately under the chandelier, layers of silk threads meticulously woven together with perfect, precise stitching. It was obvious how much love and effort had gone into it.

No one knew that it contained exactly one hundred variations of the word 'blessing', each and every one painstakingly hand-stitched by Virginia herself.
