Chapter 536


    Set thought Lucy''s behaviors were abnormal today. Lucy was of a bad temper, and Candy was


    cold to her today.


    At thiste hour, Lucy was asked to run an errand in heavy snow. Usually, Lucy would refuse, let


    alone under bad conditions like this.


    Even if Lucy liked Candy, it was still weird that she came back happily.


    "Why are you looking at me?" Lucy looked bad when finding Set staring at herself.


    "Well, I feel you weird today, quite different from who you are." Set was honest.


    "Who knows how you think of me? Cut that crap. I have to get up early tomorrow. I am going to take


    a bath." Lucy restrained her expression in fear that Set would sniff out something.


    When taking a bathrobe out from a wardrobe, Lucy found a box nearby. She opened it without


    permission and found an apple inside.


    "Yo, David called you out at midnight to give you an apple? How thoughtful!" There was obvious


    sarcasm in Lucy''s words.


    Set snatched the box from Lucy, "Don''t touch others'' possessions without permission, didn''t your


    mom teach you?"


    "It''s just an apple. I''ll buy you a hundred pounds tomorrow if you don''t mind. What is the treasure?


    As if it is a golden apple!" Lucy said contemptuously.


    After a cold snort, Set said, "I treasure the apple he bought for me, so what?"


    "A brat like David, I didn''t think highly of when freshman, and only you..." All of a sudden, Lucy


    noticed a shining bracelet on Set''s wrist.


    Set took off her coat because it was warm in the room. The bracelet was exposed. Lucy quickly


    grasped Set by the hand to check the bracelet, simple and elegant.


    "Whose present?" Lucy remembered that Set didn''t wear a bracelet today. Where did this


    bracelete from? This change happened because of the appearance of David.


    "None of your business." Set withdrew her hand, ''Lucy is perverted!''


    "Is it from David? That''s why he asked you out." Lucy felt bad at the fact that David, that straight


    man, bought Set this bracelet.


    Lucy should have been David''s girlfriend if he gave Lucy this bracelet rather than a scarf back then.


    "Yes, a present from David, and then? Lucy, I am tired and have to get up early tomorrow morning.


    Please don''t pester me endlessly."


    Set put the apple in her bag, for she disliked that her possessions were tainted by Lucy, even if it


    was only an apple.


    Jealousy filled Lucy''s heart, ''Screw both of you, David and Set, I will give you hell!''


    Saying nothing, Lucy went into the bathroom with fury. Set felt uneasy, ''What this mad woman is


    up to?''


    Tracey was celebrating a memorable Christmas Eve in the Xia''s. It was her first celebration of


    Christmas Eve after all these years.


    When free, Tracey made a call to Candy, who at dinner sounded happy. Then Tracey didn''t spare a


    thought on Candy anymore.


    After dinner, Tracey, as requested by Johan, went to look for her presents under the Christmas


    trees. Actually, there were reasons for the existence of two Christmas trees.


    Gifts under the left tree were prepared by Johan, while Aydan did for the right one. Adam looked


    expectant, thoughining it was childish.


    What was the gift from his father? Adam opened a light blue striated box to find a wooden horse.


    "A wooden horse?" Tracey knew at a nce that there should be a story behind this handmade


    wooden horse because any ones on sales should be better-looking than this one.


    Adam''s eyes turned red, "There is a painting about wooden horses, which my mother drew, so I


    liked wooden horses in childhood. He was strict with me, wishing that I could be outstanding."


    "Because of his expectations, I had to attend lots of extracurricr courses. For my gift in piano, he


    invited a world-renowned pianist to teach me."


    "And there were numerous and various tutors for other subjects. My childhood is a void filled with


    only studying. He forbade me to buy toys as the ythings, in his opinion, would ruin one''s


    aspirations."


    "I carved a wooden horse in a manual ss. It was my work."


    "But he thought that this stuff wasted my time, and all he needed was an elite for hispany. Then


    he destroyed the wooden horse before me."


    Tracey felt sorry for Adam, as this incident, caused by Aydan, should cast a shadow on Adam''s


    childhood.


    "Then this wooden horse?"


    "It should be a work from him. That''s why it''s so ugly." Adam held the wooden horse tightly, though


    criticizing its ugliness.


    This wooden horse was an apology from Aydan to Adam. Although the apology camete, Adam


    still felt his sincerity.


    "It is exceptional. My grandfather gave me all his shares." Tracey opened a box with share transfer


    documents in it.


    Tracey was not excited at this expensive gift, as she already owned twopanies.


    "Grandpa puts you in chargepletely. Don''t let him down."


    "Of course." With the documents in the hand, Tracey went back with Adam to express her thanks.


    Tracey had to leave now, as she still had work to do tomorrow.


    Johan was considerate and didn''t make Tracey stay. When the car disappeared in the snow, the old


    man sighed, "I didn''t expect that Tracey would be the most excellent person in our family,


    better than you and me."


    Ben nodded. Taking over Xia''s Group at 22 years old, Ben remained in the Group even now, but


    Tracey had established her own kingdom without assistance.


    ''She is only 22 years old, much more excellent than I.''


    "It is not bad. One should fight when young. She will feel d when recalling this experience at her


    old age."


    "You''re right."N?velDrama.Org content rights.


    Tracey lied on the bed after a shower, "Adam, I am worried that there will be idents tomorrow."


    "Rx. You have checked every part several times. No idents, don''t worry, and rest peacefully."


    Adam kissed Tracey on the forehead.
