The Protector (The Return Of The God of War) novel Chapter 48

Zoey’s heartfelt words were sufficient to fill Levi’s heart with contentment. I could not care less about other’s opinions. All I want to achieve is to please Zoey.

Aaron and Caitlyn’s resentments toward Levi deepened upon hearing the whole story. “He’s just an opportunist!”

Everyone segued into the birthday banquet afterward.

Aaron and Caitlyn presented their gifts to Zoey, followed by Abigail.

Then Steve and June handed the presents they prepared as well.

Theo questioned Levi. “I suppose your gift must be invaluable too, Mr. Garrison?” I must humiliate him in front of everyone!

“That’s right. What birthday gift did you prepare for Zoey?” Caitlyn could not suppress her curiosity.

Levi smiled. “I did not bring my gift. Well, it’s more like I can’t bring the present with me.”

“So what you mean to say is that you did not prepare a present. Isn’t that right, Mr. Garrison?” Theo took out a delicate box and gifted the present to Zoey. “This is my gift for you. It’s a necklace from Cartier, the same design worn by a princess from a foreign country. I spent a lot of effort to lay my hands on this accessory.”

Caitlyn eyed the sparkling necklace. “This must have cost you a fortune, Theo?”

“Not really, Aunt. It’s about eight hundred thousand only,” said Theo with an indifferent tone.

“What? eight hundred thousand? Oh my God!” Caitlyn and the others were shocked.

“Thank you for the goodwill, Theo. As for the gift, I am not going to accept it as it’s an expensive gift.” Zoey rejected him firmly.

But Steve and the others gazed in their direction solemnly. “How can you reject Theo’s kind intention?”

Caitlyn accepted the present in Zoey’s stead immediately.
