The cold, automated voice made his chest feel tight.
Just as he was about to redial, the banquet hall doors swung open. A deliveryman walked in, holding three beautifully wrapped gift boxes.
"Mrs. Daphne sent these as wedding gifts," the butler whispered into Dean's ear.
Under the gaze of everyone, Dean personally opened the first gift I prepared, which was an antique porcelain from the ancient Roman era.
Dean's eyes lit up. This was exactly the porcelain he mentioned that he liked half a year ago. He has always been an antique lover, and he didn't expect that I would cater to his taste so much.
The first gift box satisfied his heart so much that he couldn't wait to open the second gift box, but when his eyes saw what was inside, he was stunned.
The emerald pendant passed down through generations of the Zander Family lay quietly on the velvet bed. It was the heirloom my mother-in-law had placed around my neck years ago.
"What … " Before Dean could recover from his shock, Jonathan had quickly tore open the inner layer of the gift box.
The corners of Jonathan’s mouth twitched upward until he saw what was inside,his smile faltering into complete stillness.
