Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 412

The dinner went smoother than expected. Heather was a cultivated woman who had no problem coddling Lisa, but Sebastian didn’t fall for it at all.

Fortunately, Lisa wasn’t hostile toward the Langston Family and was even fond of Heather. All night long, Heather and Lisa’s laughter filled the air and for some reason, Heather was able to amuse Lisa.

After dinner, Heather went to the car to grab the presents. She had prepared gifts for Myra, Tony, Lisa and Sebastian. Before she came back from Italy, she had picked four gifts. She initially wanted to bring gifts to only Myra and her fiancé, but when she was shopping, she decided to get something for Myra’s in-laws as well. Now, it came in handy.

Tony noticed that the gifts were worth a lot of money. Curiously, he wondered where she had gotten these customized and premium gifts in such a short time.

The more he thought about it, the more he realized she wasn’t a simple character, as if nothing in this world could stop her from getting what she wanted. Furthermore, even Myra didn’t know what the gifts were. In order to add a sense of mystery, Heather had stuffed the gifts into the trunk of the car before she could even catch a glimpse.

When Myra opened her gift, she was all smiles. No woman would turn away from pretty clothes. Heather had specially picked a set of outfit for Myra, including a pair of shoes to go with it. In fact, she had hired a top Italian designer to design these clothes.

Custom made clothes weren’t only rare, but also had to be booked a long time in advance. Heather had started preparing Myra’s gift a long time ago.

“I also helped design this dress!” she said proudly with a grin. After all, she knew Myra’s preferences the best.

Meanwhile, Tony received cuff links and a bow tie, things that were essential for formal wear. Since Heather didn’t know his measurements, she could only get the little things for him.

Her taste was impeccable. The items she picked for Tony matched him perfectly. Politely, he accepted the gift and expressed his gratitude.

Meanwhile, her gift to Lisa was an oil painting that she happened to successfully bid at an auction held at a painting exhibition at a high price. Although it wasn’t a Renaissance painting, it was still a highly valuable collection. She didn’t know what Lisa liked, but she thought the elderly certainly wouldn’t refuse something artistic and elegant.

Lastly, her gift to Sebastian was a luxurious, Swiss-made, and limited edition Patek Philippe watch. In fact, Heather had taken a trip to Switzerland just to purchase this watch.

Other than that, she had brought a few bottles of Italy’s most popular wine. She wasn’t familiar with their taste, so she simply bought a bottle at each winery that had good reviews.

As Sebastian held the Patek Philippe watch in his hands, he knew that the watch cost no less than a million. It was too extravagant as a gift.

Clearing his throat, he said, “Miss Langston, this watch is too expensive. I can’t accept this.” Receiving such a heavy gift from a young lady out of nowhere, Sebastian made up his mind to turn it down.

“Old Master Hart, I went to Switzerland specifically to get this for you, so please accept it,” Heather said sincerely. Although it cost her a fortune, she thought it was worth it.

She didn’t think too much of it and she didn’t want to embarrass Myra. As such, she thought it would be reasonable to get something that cost no lower than six figures, especially for Myra’s future in-laws.

After spending a million on the oil painting, she thought since she had bought such an expensive gift for Lisa, then the gift for Myra’s future grandfather-in-law should be even more precious.

She had thought long and hard before deciding to take a trip to Switzerland. Men would never refuse a good mechanical watch, and Patek Philippe was the top brand for mechanical watches. If she was buying something, she would, of course, get the best ones.

All in all, she had spent several millions on these gifts. The cheapest was probably Tony’s gift. Even Myra’s gift cost a lot of money. On top of that, it had taken some time too since she collaborated with the designer. This was why the end product was so gorgeous.

At that time, she didn’t realize Myra’s fiancé would be from the Hart Family. Since she had done everything with good intentions, the heavens definitely wouldn’t treat her badly.

If she could get closer to the Hart Family by spending a few million, then this wasn’t a money-losing deal. She was a businesswoman after all.

As Sebastian and Heather were at a standstill, Lisa couldn’t watch it anymore. She tugged on Sebastian’s sleeve and told him to accept the gift for now.

At night when Heather was leaving, Lisa asked Tony to send her home, but she wasn’t a fragile girl. She pulled Myra as they walked out and said, “I drove here myself, so there’s no need to bother Tony at all. Myra can just accompany me to my car.”

Meanwhile, Tony wanted to tag along, but Myra turned him down and said that she wanted to speak with Heather alone, and that it would be better if he wasn’t there.

As soon as they walked out the door, Myra said to Heather, “The gifts are too expensive. How do you expect me to accept it?” The more she thought about it, the more ashamed she felt since she had gone empty-handed to the Langston Residence today.

“It’s not too expensive at all. It’s only right that I give the best to my best friend,” Heather said carelessly. Although it was the thought that counted when giving a gift, the price was another important aspect.

“The watch and painting are too expensive. No wonder you didn’t want to show them to me. It’s because you were afraid that I would stop you,” she said with dissatisfaction. Heather was too smart.
