The salesperson was stunned speechless and, before they could even react, had already handed over their earpiece.
Estelle Lockwood was unsurprised to hear the manager of the Celestar Commercial Center roaring.
"Has Miss Lockwood bought them yet? Has she? If she won’t buy them, we can just give them to her! Mr. Liam was very clear. If I mess this up, I won’t know how to answer to him!"
Estelle Lockwood raised an eyebrow.
She returned the earpiece to the salesperson and took out a card. "I’ll take them. You can charge the card."
The salesperson was overjoyed.
The manager also hurried downstairs. Just as Estelle Lockwood was about to leave, he cleared his throat and said fawningly, "I wish you and Mr. Liam a lifetime of happiness together!"
The salesperson followed suit. "I wish you and Mr. Liam a lifetime of happiness together!"
Estelle Lockwood: "..."
Estelle Lockwood playfully weighed the exquisitely packaged watches in her hand. Suddenly realizing their misunderstanding, her eyes glinted mischievously. She asked a clerk for a recordable greeting card, then had the manager repeat what he had just said.
She wrote a few large words on the card with a flourish, then asked, "You offer home delivery service, right?"
"Yes, yes, we do."
Estelle Lockwood said slyly, "Perfect. Then please deliver it to Imperial Crest for me."
...
「Half an hour later, at Imperial Crest.」
The matching watches were delivered.
Liam Sloan was shocked when he found out, but his shock was quickly followed by the immense joy of thinking, ’Great, my life is saved!’
"Bro, what did I tell you? Estelle went out to buy you matching watches! See? Surprise!"
’Good thing I’m a genius. I had the manager figure out a way to sell the watches to Estelle Lockwood at a discount.’
Liam Sloan was extremely pleased with this maneuver. As if looking for praise, he said, "Bro, this is the set of matching watches for you. You do the honors!"
A sense of anticipation unexpectedly welled up in Nathaniel Sloan.
’She bought matching watches. Could this be... a sign that she wants to make up?’
Nathaniel Sloan’s expression remained unchanged, but his heart was filled with joy, and his hands moved a little faster as he opened the gift box.
After opening it, he saw there was a greeting card with the matching watches.
Liam Sloan gushed, "Wow, there’s a card too! Estelle really does care about you!"
The corners of Nathaniel Sloan’s lips couldn’t help but curl upward. The matching watches were quite handsome, a different style from what he usually wore. Without hesitation, Nathaniel immediately took out the men’s watch and put it on.
Only then did he contentedly open the greeting card.
’I’m such a great guy!’ Liam Sloan thought. ’If it weren’t for me, how could my brother and Estelle be wearing matching watches? I deserve a medal for this!’
’But he said nothing. Oh well, what can you do? That’s just the kind of guy he was—a true hero who does good deeds without expecting any credit.’
Liam Sloan looked expectantly at Nathaniel Sloan’s face, and then—
—"Wishing Mr. Liam and Miss Lockwood a lifetime of happiness together!"
An excited male voice echoed through the study.
In that moment, Liam Sloan felt as if he was staring death in the face.
’Wait, wait! Wishing *who* and *who* a lifetime of happiness?!’
Nathaniel Sloan asked coolly, "What is this?"
Liam Sloan: "?" ’I’d like to know what this is, too! Does that manager hate me so much that he’d try to get me killed by proxy?!’
At that moment, the anonymous good Samaritan, Liam Sloan, shattered into a million pieces.
After a long moment, Nathaniel Sloan spun the men’s watch on his wrist, then picked up the women’s watch. He slowly rose to his feet. "I’m going to the hospital."
