Chapter 488 Birthday Gift

Author: Escaping Bunny
Griffith placed the items into the box without responding to Arthur. Nevertheless, a few thoughts crossed his mind.

His mother had left behind various items, including a set of pearl and diamond jewelry that had been kept in a safe. Charlotte liked pearls, so maybe she would appreciate it.

Tonight, he would check the dishes she had prepared, and if they were good, he would let go of the incident with Benjamin. He would also consider giving her a new set of jewelry as a form of compensation.

As these thoughts filled his mind, his mood improved considerably. However, he wasn't sure if it was because he felt appeased or because he was anticipating seeing Charlotte later.

When the car arrived at the entrance to the manor of Blissful Church, he was drawn out of his thoughts. As he exited the car, he coincidentally encountered Madeline.

Madeline was holding a gift box, waiting for him to join her in entering the manor. The manor had a pleasant and tranquil environment. When they arrived

    Why did she think that he hadn’t ever given Charlotte a gift? The walk-in closet was overflowing with jewelry and dresses from various top brands. However, he wasn't interested in any of these things; they all seemed the same to him. They were merely material possessions that money could buy, nothing particularly precious."I'll send you a ruby next time," he said.Aurora, who couldn't see, rolled her eyes. "You're beyond help, Griffith."Madeline couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that Griffith was truly incorrigible.While the three were chatting, some of Aurora's female peers came over to visit. They were all fairly familiar with one another. However, when these women gathered, it became noisy, and Griffith felt a headache coming on. He made an excuse to leave midway through their visit.When he returned, there were a pile of gifts on the table, and Aurora was opening them one by one.Suddenly, someone asked, "Aurora, what did Simon send as a gift?"Aurora replied, "He came o

    Charlotte was alone at home. She had already done everything she could consider as enjoyable activities. In the evening, she tried to take a nap but couldn't fall asleep. She sat in the living room of her suite, looking at the gift box, unable to stop counting the time.Suddenly, her phone vibrated. She picked it up and saw a message from the bank. Opening it, she was taken aback. She received a bank transfer. Five hundred thousand dollars?She almost thought she was seeing things incorrectly, so she immediately sat up and opened the mobile banking app to check the details. After counting it carefully, it was indeed five hundred thousand dollars.Sender: Tobias.Note: Your birthday is approaching. Remember to buy yourself some candy.Charlotte was shocked. Where did he get so much money?She considered transferring the money back but found that there was a daily limit. She could only transfer a few thousand dollars and used the remarks to inquire about his situation. “Where are y

    “I'll wait for your return.”“Okay.”On the screen, the text messages were clearly visible in the screenshot. Scrolling further up, there were Charlotte's messages filled with excitement and worry in every word.Even through the screen, Griffith could guess the kind of excitement Charlotte must have felt upon reading the transfer remarks."What does he mean by 'when he comes back'? What does he want to do when he returns? Take her away?" Griffith's eyes lingered on the word ‘okay’, his emotions complex.He couldn't help but admire Charlotte. Benjamin, Simon, and now Tobias.She had been so busy, and even found time to prepare gifts for him. It was as if she had three heads and six arms to manage it all. Being Mrs. Wilson really did her a disservice.The car stopped near the Wilson mansion. Despite not knowing the exact reason, Arthur felt a chill down his spine. He looked at Griffith's expression in the mirror, finding it challenging to read his emotions. "We've arrived, Mr. Wil

    Looking at the shrimp on her plate, Charlotte couldn't help but wonder if she was dreaming. She had known Griffith for so long, but when had he ever done something like this for her?She remained still, and a faint smile touched the corners of his lips as he asked, with an ambiguous tone, "Afraid it's poisoned?""No, not at all.""Then eat it.""Let me peel it myself," she reached out.Griffith lifted his hand to block hers and said, "Just eat."Charlotte's heart was pounding with a mix of emotions, and she felt more nervous than happy. She picked up her cutlery, but it all felt unreal. When she put the shrimp into her mouth, she barely tasted it before swallowing."Would you like some vinegar?" Griffith reminded her."Mm." she responded. She uttered an agreement, and the next moment, there were two more shrimps on her plate.Griffith's demeanor was composed as he peeled the shrimp, as if he were performing an art. With the overhead lighting, most people would look bad, but no

    Inside the suite, his bedroom door was closed. From her vantage point, she could just see his sturdy and well-built back after he removed his shirt. She quickly averted her gaze.When she looked up again, Griffith had already left the room. He was shirtless, seemingly unconcerned about her presence. He walked over to the coffee table and noticed the gift box he had seen earlier that afternoon. A faint, cold smile tugged at the corner of his lips.Charlotte stood near the door, and as she watched him reach for the gift box, she couldn't see what was inside from her angle. It seemed like he took something out of the box.When he turned around, he was holding something in his hand, and he spoke to her with a slightly cryptic tone, "The item is quite nice, and I quite like it."Charlotte was puzzled. She couldn't tell that he liked it very much. His gaze deepened as he looked at her, and after a while, he walked into the bedroom. "Thank you."Thank you? Charlotte was even more confuse

    Cough, cough.Charlotte clung to the man's arm to steady herself, coughing repeatedly. Her face was soaked, and her eyes were too irritated to open. She freed one hand and wiped her face.Next, her body was turned around, with Griffith behind her and the tiles in front of her. She gasped for air and tried to speak, but the man had already lowered his head, his lips inching closer to her cheek.His scorching breath was hotter than the water in the pool.Charlotte was stunned, her back pressed against his chest. He was completely undressed, while her dress was soaked through. Before she could react, his lips left an imprint on her neck.She flinched, and when she tried to turn away, she said, "Griffith! You've had too much to drink.""I'm perfectly sober."‘At least I can recognize you. You're Charlotte, a very annoying woman,’ he thought."Well, then... Ah!"Her neck was bitten, and she let out a soft gasp. It wasn't very painful, and the next moment, he gently soothed the bite

    The water in the bathtub was quite warm, but Charlotte felt like she was submerged in a pool of cold water.Griffith's disdainful gaze was like a sharp knife, slicing through her skin inch by inch. With just a touch of tenderness, he had her spinning in circles. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she took a deep breath, trying to hold back the tears, clutching herself as she trembled."Did you come back tonight just to humiliate me?" she asked, her voice trembling.The smile vanished from his face."Or is it because of the incident involving Benjamin?"Griffith rose from the bath, and Charlotte quickly lowered her head. The man stood not far away, casually drying his body, putting on a bathrobe. He glanced in her direction, seeing her shivering. He should have felt satisfied, but he didn't."Don't act all pitiful as if I've gone too far," he said, approaching her, and he threw something at her face.A chain-like object came hurling towards her. Charlotte thought it was the box whi

    Charlotte didn't want to cry either. She had been trying her best to control herself, but it was as if her body's defenses had collapsed in an instant. She could only will her legs to carry her quickly into her small room.Only when she closed the door behind her did she slump against it, her entire body sliding down, sitting on the floor. She was still wearing her wet clothes, and sitting on the cold floor made her shiver.Strangely, this coldness helped her regain her senses quickly. After taking a few deep breaths and stopping her tears, she collected herself.Outside the door, Griffith remained in the same towel-drying stance for a long time. The sound of her crying, piercing and inexplicable, had easily reached his ears. His brows furrowed deeply as he couldn't fathom how the pain and suffering had ultimately ended up affecting him.Returning to his room, he noticed that he couldn't hear Charlotte's cries anymore, but he didn't feel any better. A heavy feeling had settled in h

    Tanya's previous full-length mirror was still usable, but because it was small, she had to walk a bit farther every time she used it. Eli had long wanted to replace it.Little did he know, she got rid of many things in the house to make room for the new large sofa for him, including that old full-length mirror."How do you like it? Surprised?" He patted the mirror.Tanya smiled wryly and pointed to the large sofa. "And you? Surprised?" Only then did Eli notice fewer small items in the living room and a large new sofa. He suddenly chuckled. It was quite nice.He thought of her, and she thought of him. This winter was truly warm.Tanya abandoned the egg tart and hugged him again. "Oh no, this mirror is so big. There's nowhere to put it."Eli carried her with one hand and moved the mirror to the corner with the other. Sitting on the sofa, he thought for a moment, then hugged her and said, "Tanya, let's move to a bigger place."Tanya knew he had been thinking about this all along.

    Eli found it amusing. He pushed the head of the small money jar and couldn't help but say, "You gold digger! You love money so much, then why did you give the check I gave you to Soraya?"Tanya blinked and chuckled. "I only acquire wealth in the proper way. To be honest…" She pondered for a moment, then turned to look at him. "Probably because, at that time, I was just too fond of you like I am now."Hearing this, Eli felt a pang of heartache and leaned down to kiss her forehead. Tanya smiled, moved the gifts aside, and made some space for him.Just as they were about to talk, Eli's phone vibrated continuously. It turned out that Bridget was sending over the detailed preparation process for the wedding.Tanya scrolled through it and suddenly felt overwhelmed. Eli looked at it and also felt a headache coming. The two glanced at each other, sighed simultaneously, and leaned back.After they publicly disclosed their relationship, life continued as usual but became busier due to the w

    Eli being married was shocking enough, but then his wife was hiding right in the office. In the next half hour, Tanya heard wailing from all around.The atmosphere in their office was quite good, and everyone got along well. After coming clean, everyone joked around and teased each other."Nia, don't forget Mr. Ted, he's been cursing at you all along!""Yeah, he's been calling you a fool!""I heard it, I can testify!"Ted was furious and rushed out to hit someone. Tanya followed with laughter.Before leaving work, Amy indeed brought the cake and candies, sharing them with everyone in the building. Thus, the entire group gave them their blessings.From the office to the parking lot, Tanya received blessings. When she got into Eli's car, her heart was still pounding.Eli was happily eating his candy, feeling good. Especially now that he didn't have to sneak around anymore, he even turned the steering wheel effortlessly.Tanya, holding the cake, asked him in surprise, "Were these

    Tanya walked out of the room with her guard down and came face to face with Ted's sneaky expression. She paused.Ted gasped, his brain instantly turning blank.He looked at Tanya, covered his mouth with his left hand, and placed his right hand over the left with his eyes gradually widening.God! This was insane!Tanya regained her composure and glanced in Eli's direction. Eli remained calm, glanced at the fruit plate on the table, and said, "Should we take some down to share with your colleagues?"Tanya nodded. She glanced at the still-disheveled Ted and kindly handed him a tangerine."Sir?"Ted swallowed, looked at Tanya, then at Eli. Finally, he settled his gaze on the tangerine in her hand, mechanically accepting it.Tanya turned to look at Eli. 'Look, you've scared my superior.'Eli shrugged."I'm leaving," she said.Eli nodded and escorted her to the door.Ted followed them out and was sent into the elevator by his boss. As the elevator doors closed, he let out a long

    The deep blue bedsheet was neatly spread out. But the two pillows lacked pillowcases, exposed in a sorry state.Eli placed his hands on his belt and turned to look at Tanya. "Is this also your doing?"Tanya leaned against the door frame, only poking her head in, smiling sheepishly."I accidentally drooled while sleeping that day and dirtied the pillowcase. Knowing that you're a neat freak, I took them all off to wash," she said. She raised her hand and swore, "The pillowcases have been washed and are in the cabinet at home."Eli wasn't interested in the pillowcases' whereabouts. He remembered when Amy called him, saying Tanya missed him and wanted to touch the sheets and pillows after waking up.Nonsense!He took a deep breath, then turned his head to Tanya with a frightening smile. Tanya realized the danger and tried to run, but he grabbed her by the waist."Hey, what are you doing?" she said.Eli tossed her onto the bed and followed suit."What are you doing?!""Collecting

    Tanya sat upright in the office. Eli stood before her with his hands behind his back. "Come on, explain."Tanya's eyes darted around. "Do you believe me? It's because I missed you too much. When I came to your place, I couldn't help but take away everything related to you." Eli scoffed. "Including the toilet paper?"Tanya pondered seriously.Eli tapped the coffee machine and pointed to the plug that had been pulled out, saying, "If the coffee machine wasn't too heavy, would you have taken that too?"'This brat has no conscience at all. Does she even understand what a cold shoulder is?'While he was reminiscing in her room, she made a fortune in his office!Tanya blinked and gave him an embarrassed smile. "If you think about it from another angle, I love you deeply. If we couldn't reconcile and you came back to see all this, you would hate me. Hate represents love, and love means you can't forget me. My obsession is so deep; I want to stay in your heart forever."Eli fell silen

    "You should buy something while visiting. Do you have enough money in your account? If not, I will transfer some to you," Mrs. Moran said on the phone.Tanya didn't want money; she just wanted to hear some advice. She knew her parents' financial situation wasn't good. Due to illness, her stepfather had retired from his position as a butler of the Sterling family. Although the Sterlings provided a retirement package, Mr. Moran was getting old, and he had a son. She heard that his son's business had lost a considerable amount of money in recent years. As a stepdaughter, she had already received enough help from them, so how could she ask for more money?During her university days, she didn't ask her family for money. If she could find a part-time job, she would, and if not, she would endure it just to avoid causing her mother trouble."Mom, I don't need money. I have enough."When Mrs. Moran heard this, she felt even more sorry for her.Since her ex-husband was useless, Tanya suffer

    After breakfast, Eli called Bridget."Why did you send her a check? Do you have nothing better to do?"Bridget had just arrived home and begun playing poker with a few old friends.She threw out a card, rolled her eyes, and said, "It's the first time I've met my daughter-in-law! What's wrong with giving her some money!"Eli was speechless."Madam, you came up and threw 500,000 dollars just like that. Aren't you afraid of scaring people?""What should I do? Throw 50,000 dollars instead? That's too stingy."Eli was speechless. Holding onto the railing, he glanced downstairs and saw Tanya ironing her coat in the living room."I almost got dumped because you caused a scene," he joked.Bridget threw the cards while chuckling. "It's good to be dumped. With your unruly behavior, someone should make you suffer a bit.""Are you really my mother?""If you still want to be a good son, hurry up and go through the procedures, live a proper life with Tanya, and try to give me a grandson n

    "What did Her Majesty tell you?"Tanya nearly lost her composure, fighting back laughter.Bridget said nothing more as she left with Benjamin, leaving Tanya and Eli to return to the apartment. The journey back was silent, with Tanya deep in thought. Upon entering, Eli halted her at the entrance.Exhaling deeply, Tanya reached into her pocket and withdrew a check. Eli's gaze fell upon it, noting it was only for $500,000. As he moved to take it, Tanya tucked it back into her pocket. On the bar, a spread of breakfast awaited them - fried eggs, sausages, fruits, and vegetables. Despite the inviting display, Tanya's attention was on Eli."Don't you want breakfast?"With the situation still unclear, Eli's appetite waned. Nonetheless, knowing Bridget's nature, he remained calm. Seating himself opposite Tanya, he nibbled at a sausage, noticing her lack of interest."Is everything alright?" he asked, concerned.Tanya shook her head.The oversized sandwich Bridget had ordered had already
