Julia looked at Elisa with concern. If it weren't for the guests around them, she would have lifted Elisa's skirt to check her knees.
Meanwhile, Linda's expression suddenly turned pale.
Elisa! Damn it!
Even Shirley hesitated about showing Linda's present. She only undid the ribbons but did not open the box so that she could easily show the present when it was her turn.
Rachel chuckled and said, "Old Madam Wickam, the abbot of Lumineer Temple said you should place this jade peacock ornament in your bedroom. It will bless you with longevity."
Julia nodded with a smile. "I sure will. Jade is known to bring good luck, and this ornament has been blessed. It is a very meaningful gift to me."
Then, Julia held Elisa's hand. "Elisa, thank you so much for this gift. But you must never do something like this again, okay? You mustn't hurt yourself for my sake."
Elisa smiled and shook her head. "Grandma, it's what I wanted to do. After all, you are my grandmother."
Julia chuckled. "Yes, that's right, my sweet child. Come and sit beside me."
Darren looked at Elisa with an astonished expression. She did that willingly for her?
Then, he turned to look at Julia and was relieved to see her genuinely happy. It doesn't matter as long as she is happy. Furthermore, today…
Darren seemed gloomy as he took a sip from a glass of wine.
Jerry looked at Elisa with a smile, "Elisa, thank you."
Elisa smiled too and said, "Don't worry about it. It's nothing."
