Chapter777Gifts


    Paige perked up at Azure’sment, locking eyes with her. She casually asked, “How do you know


    Alex is so considerate?”


    Azure calmly poured herself a cup of tea and exined, “Alex and I have been friends since we were


    kids, so I’ve experienced his thoughtfulness over the years. Ms. Watson, you need not concern yourself


    with these minor details.”

    “What a piece of work! She’s praising Alex’s consideration, but she’s telling me not to worry about it!


    Maybe she should keep her mouth shut,‘ Paige thought.


    Paige smirked and turned to Alex with a cheerful expression. “Look at how understanding Ms. Miller is,


    Alex!”


    Alex sensed Paige’s annoyance and quivered upon hearing her words. He was aware that Paige was


    upset, so he quickly addressed Azure, “Why bring this up, Fa- Azure? It’s been a long time.”


    Alex refrained from using the nickname ‘Fatty Azzie‘ out of fear.


    Azure conceded with lowered eyes and a smile, “You’re right, Alex. I misspoke.”


    Azure reached for two gift bags she had prepared and ced them on the table. She grinned, saying,


    These are my gifts for your uing baby and your wedding.”


    Perplexed, Alex said, “You really shouldn’t have. We can handle these things ourselves.”


    Paige chimed in. “Alex, why turn down Ms. Miller’s generosity? She invited us out to celebrate with us.


    Rejecting her like this would be awkward.”


    Paige gave Alex a meaningful look as if to say, “You must ept these gifts if you’re not hiding


    something!”


    Not daring to oppose Paige, Alex epted the presents from Azure and handed them to Paige. “Take


    a look, Paige.”


    Paige nced at Azure and asked, “May I open them now, Ms. Miller?” Azure replied after a pause, “Of


    course.”


    Paige proceeded to unwrap the gifts one by one. For the baby, there was a pendant and a bracelet,


    both bearing the inscription “Keeper of my heart. For Paige and Alex, there was a set of personalized


    wine sses.


    Paige was pleasantly surprised by Azure’s heartfelt blessings. She let her guard down and set the gifts


    aside. “Thank you so much for these thoughtful presents.”


    Azure smiled and suggested, “Give the tea a try. I ordered one suitable for expectant mothers.”


    Paige nced at the steaming tea in the clear teapot, then picked up the teacup and took a sip.


    Afterward, she sent photos of Azure’s gifts to Caroline


    Paige: [I can’t quite figure Azure out. She once told me she’dpete with me for Alex, yet now she’s


    showering us with gifts.]


    Meanwhile, Caroline was instructing Josie to recall all the secretaries who were currently undergoing


    training elsewhere. She received Paige’s message just as she finished speaking with Josie


    Caroline: [While I don’t want to jump to conclusions, I have a feeling something might be off. Be


    cautious around her until the child is born.]


    Caroline was concerned about the potential strain on Paige and Alex’s rtionship, so she offered


    these friendly reminders to protect their happiness from any unforeseen troubles.
