Maxime changed the tough and yful demeanor he had with the owner once he was immersed in his


    work. He turned into a serious person as he earnestly exined the weaving method to me patiently


    while demonstrating it.


    In less than an hour, the keychain was woven. Although it wasn''t as neat and pretty as what an expert


    could make, I received praise from Maxime as a novice since it took shape.


    Queenie took the keychain andpared it with hers. She found it quite interesting and decided to


    choose a jade-colored yarn to learn together with me.


    Time flew by when a person was deeply immersed in something. It was already dark outside when I


    held the four finished keychains, and we admired each other''s work.


    I checked my phone and saw several missed calls and over 20 unread messages, all from Colin.


    Queenie''s phone also had some notifications from Andrew.


    I returned Colin''s call. He said that he could return early today and asked me to send him my location


    so that he could pick me up.


    But I hesitated and rejected him as I thought about the keychains in my bag.


    Birthday gifts should be presented on the day itself for the element of surprise. If I let him know I was


    here, he could guess the reason and purpose at any moment. Then, the present wouldn''t be


    meaningful anymore.


    Halfway through our ride home, Andrew called to say that things were ending soon on his end as well.


    He promised to bring us some good food so that we didn''t have to cook. We just had to wait for him to


    return.


    Within minutes of entering the house, Colin and Andrew returned together, each carrying several food


    containers. The aroma alone was enough to make one drool.


    I took the containers from Colin and brought them to the kitchen. "Andrew, where did you order so


    much food from? How are we going to finish it all?"


    He shook his reddened hand,


    looking delighted. His gaze passed


    through the ss door of the


    kitchen andnded on Queenie. "I


    didn''t order it. I was at my family''s banquet, remember? Content

    Honestly, when Andrew said that, I was happy yet worried.


    There were some things that Queenie would never ask. If that was the case, it was up to me, as her


    bestie, to ask on her behalf.


    "Andrew, whether it''s Queenie herself, her parents, or even me, we''ve never thought she would


    be a wealthy man''s wife.


    "People like us from ordinary families only hope to marry for love and love alone. We''d never do


    anything like selling ourselves for selfish desires. Do you understand?" Andrew took out somerge


    tes from the cupboard and started putting the food into them.


    After hearing my words, he set aside the food containers in his hands and turned to look in Queenie''s


    direction


    gently. He smiled. "Luna, I understand what you mean. Actually, your hopes are also mine.
