The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1621

"Happy birthday, Lex."

Claire pulled out the gift she had prepared.

She had been so busy she completely forgot what day Lex’s birthday fell on; Skylar and Zara had to remind her.

She even had to use a courier service to deliver the present.

However, Lex had been so busy in the kitchen that she hadn’t noticed when the courier dropped it off.

Skylar had her gift ready too—a pair of shoes.

She had noticed Lex’s sneakers were falling apart, yet Lex couldn't bring herself to spend money on a new pair.

The last time they went shopping together, Lex had tried on a pair of running shoes and loved how comfortable they were.

But even on sale, they were almost fifty dollars, and after hesitating for a long time, Lex had put them back.

Skylar had secretly bought them for her.

"Lex, before you say no, just listen. You're constantly running around campus, picking up freelance gigs, and working part-time. It's exhausting," Skylar said.

"You really need a comfortable pair of shoes."

"It's not an expensive gift, but I really hope you accept it."

Lex's eyes grew glassy.

A cheap gift in Skylar's eyes was a luxury for Lex.

But what mattered more than the price tag was the thought behind it.

Skylar had seen how much she wanted them and how much it hurt to walk away.

Lex had actually planned to buy them as a birthday treat for herself if she managed to make over four hundred dollars this month.

She never expected someone else to do it for her.

A lump formed in Lex's throat, and she blinked rapidly to fight back the tears.

Zara practically shoved her own gift forward. "I got you a high-end skincare set."
