Chapter 134
Jason cradled the moon–white robe in his hands, his fingers gently brushing over the silver threadwork at the collar
The threads were so fine, the stitches nearly invisible, yet under his touch they seemed to pulse with life, as if the fabric inef was breathing.
He’d never received such a heartfelt gift before. This was the first time anyone had put so much care into something for him.
“Natalie… thank you. You’re always so good to me. I know you must’ve poured your heart into this!
Jason’s lips quivered, and tears of gratitude streamed from his eyes.
Andrew snorted with a laugh as he watched Jason, lazily hugging the scroll and speaking in a teasing tone.
“Who was it just now that said he wouldn’t cry?”
Jason’s hand paused mid–wipe, caught off guard.
Andrew grinned and teased,
“Tsk, tsk, tsk- Guys aren’t supposed to cry, you know.”
…Seriously?‘ Jason thought, completely speechless.
Charlotte, standing nearby, covered her mouth, trying not to laugh.
As the last waiter stepped forward, Ryan felt his heart leap into his throat.
Everyone else got gifts that were absolutely mind–blowing, from Mom, Dad, Andrew, Ethan, Blake and Jason.
‘I can’t wait to see what Natalie will give me,‘ Ryan thought, his anticipation almost unbearable.
His palms were slick with sweat, his eyes shining like stars. He was dying to rush over and snatch the box right now.
But he had to behave, so he just stood there, his legs trembling with barely contained excitement.
‘What could it be? What could it be?!‘ Ryan wondered, his mind racing.
The waiter brought over a small box, about the size of a palm, covered in silver–gray velvet and tied with a deep blue silk
ribbon.
Ryan blinked in surprise. ‘Wait, it’s that tiny?‘
‘What’s even inside something that small?‘ he thought.
He snuck a glance at Jason’s two big boxes of clothes, then at Andrew’s gun box, his nerves starting to act up,
He took the box, his heart pounding, drew a deep breath, and opened it.
I’d love anything Natalie gives me,‘ Ryan thought, feeling sure of it.
Inside, there was just a single key, sitting there quietly.
