Snare of Love novel Chapter 324

Dolores blushed.

If Dolores wanted to, she could grab Matthew’s position as she held fifty per cent of the shares in her hands.

Victoria had also prepared some gifts for the two children. The gifts were different from Matthew’s. The gifts were not money but gifts full of love.

She went to the South China Temple to prey for a talisman in person, hoping that the two children would grow up without any illnesses or disasters.

Victoria hung the gifts around their necks. The blessing bag was made of yellow silk and embroidered with lines, which might belong to the Buddhist.

This was not superstition. It was a trust for the heart.

Hanging by a red string, the two children were happy.

“Today is New Year's Eve, I can’t be empty-handed either.” Boyce also prepared Nephrite pendants for the two children, “I don’t know much about jade but I heard that this jade is good to wear. When I bought the jade, the boss told me that men wear Avalokitesvara and women wear Buddha, I don’t understand what does that mean.”

He gave the Avalokitesvara to Samuel and the Maitreya Buddha to Simona. The little girl opened the red velvet box and inside it was the Maitreya Buddha which was beautifully carved. The Maitreya Buddha held Mala in its hand and grinned in a very pleasing manner.

The little girl liked it very much and touched it with her fingers, “Thank you, Mr. Shawn. I like it very much.”

Boyce was relieved, “I am worried that you will not like it.”

It was New Year, so it was inappropriate to give a gift that was too cheap but he could not afford to give something expensive. He was worried that the children would not like the jade pendants. He was apprehensive for a long time.

He was worried that the child would not like them as gift giving was about giving the right gift to the right person. He could not just give stuffed toys or something, after all, it was New Year’s Eve.

Samuel was also very polite, “Thank you, Mr. Shawn. I like it very much too.” Growing up abroad, he did not understand Buddhist etiquette in his home country. He replied to Boyce, “

Men wear Avalokitesvara and women wear Buddha. Is it because girls have to wear male ones and men have to wear female ones?”

Buddha is male and Avalokitesvara is female, that was how he understood it.

There was an instant silence at the dining table.

Everyone did not expect Samuel to come up with such a sentence suddenly.

Dolores stroked his son’s head, “You can’t interpret it that way and you can’t say like that, it’s disrespectful.”

“It’s alright, children’s words are not disrespectful.” Matthew waved his big hand, “Let’s eat.”

Because of Boyce’s presence, Matthew drank two glasses of wine with him. That was not much. If they did not drink on this occasion, it was not satisfactory.

The drivers were there, so even if they were unconscious, they could send them back.

There were fireworks outside. Bang! Bang! Bang!

The little girl sped up her meal. When Dolores fed her soup, the little girl was also holding the bowl. She ‘poured’ the soup inside her mouth. Dolores frowned, “You better slow down a bit, why do you eat in a hurry?”

“I want to play fireworks.” The little girl wanted to eat quickly and did not even raise her head to answer her.

Dolores stroked her hair, “There’s no need to be in such a hurry. There are so many of us. If you have finished eating earlier, you can’t go off alone too, right?”

The little girl thought about it and it seemed true. It was not fun for her to play alone. It was fun to play with everyone.

She slid down from her chair and hurried from one to another, “Eat quickly, eat quickly, I want to play fireworks. You all eat quickly, don’t make me wait for too long.”

Boyce was amused, “There are so many dishes. If I take one bite for one dish, I have to take twenty minutes to finish eating all of them.”

The little girl blinked, “Then you just eat the plate of fish in front of you.”

Boyce was speechless.

“No way.” He took a crab bun, “I want to be full, and I don’t like fish.”

The little girl blinked, “If you eat too much, you’ll get fat. A fat guy can’t find a girlfriend. You look at Mr. Bernie. He has married Ms. Gordon. What about you? Who will marry such a fat guy like you?”

At once, there was a silence at the dining table. Then, there was laughter.
