Mason heard his grandma’s words and smiled in a cheerful mood, whereas Janet pursed her lips and blushed at his reaction.
“Janet, have you received the presents?”
Faced with the question, Janet paused briefly because she did not understand what Old Madam Lowry was referring to.
Right then, the driver came down from the car and courteously greeted Mason, saying, “Young Master Mason, these are the presents that Old Madam wanted to hand to a Jackson girl!”
Janet heard it too and smiled. “Ah! It has arrived right on time!”
“Go ahead and open the presents! I bet you’ll love everything!” Old Madam Lowry’s face lit up with a broad smile in a light-hearted mood.
“Thank you.” Even though Janet did not show much expression, she did not feel any distance between herself and Old Madam Lowry. It was as though the latter was her own grandma.
After hanging up the video call, Janet dragged Mason with her to check out her presents. Behind them, Black Python, Red Python, and White Python followed closely out of curiosity.
The driver took a jewelry box, placed it carefully across from Janet, and pushed it to her courteously. “Old Madam specifically wanted me to hand this to you in person!”
Janet was quite surprised by Old Madam Lowry’s level of care. She accepted the box and opened it, only to be blinded by a dazzling red hue from within. Is that a ruby?
Her face turned red in embarrassment, and she vocalized her guess. “Is this a ruby?”
Mason smirked and touched the delicate tip of her nose. “If you love it, keep it for yourself!”
“This is quite expensive, no? I think I won’t accept it!” As much as she could feel Old Madam Lowry’s love, she kept in mind that they were not legally related. Therefore, accepting an expensive gift from the old lady would feel like a burden.
“Tell Grandma that Janet appreciates the gift!” Mason lifted his brows at Janet’s hesitation and gave orders to the driver, who instantly understood the meaning behind the orders given.
Mason’s words took Janet aback. Despite feeling rather reluctant, she followed his wishes. Since the ruby represents Old Madam Lowry’s sincerity, I should probably accept it. After mulling things over, she suddenly called out to the driver, “Please wait for me!” Next, she steadily made her way upstairs.
Ten minutes later, Mason and the driver saw her returning. She produced a box from behind and handed it to the driver. “Please hand this to Old Madam Lowry!”
The driver was slightly surprised by her action but accepted the box and peeped into it. Upon checking the contents, he froze and asked in uncertainty. “What is this?”
After a slight pause, Janet chose to avoid the question and replied with a smile, “Just give it to old madam. She will know!”
“Got it. I will leave now!” The driver nodded and proceeded to leave without wasting any time, and Mason merely nodded back in silence.
When the driver was gone, Black Python, Red Python, and White Python started to unwrap the gifts from Old Madam Lowry.
Before this, Mason had been mentioning Janet a lot in front of his grandma and revealed a lot about Janet’s hobbies and lifestyle. Naturally, the old lady learned that Janet had a thing for collecting unusual rocks and minerals.
But the ‘rocks’ that she gave Janet were all top-grade precious stones in Markovia.
Therefore, the jewelry crafted with those stones was worth tens of millions, with some even selling for billions. From the value of the stones, one could see how much Janet was valued among the Lowrys.
Janet watched as the others busied themselves with unwrapping the gifts and decided not to join.
When she put on her backpack and prepared to leave for school, a man suddenly pulled her aside and cornered her.
With no time to react, she looked endearingly confused at that moment. “What are you doing?”
Mason’s eyes narrowed dangerously. “What’s in it?”
Instantly, Janet understood his question. In other words, he would like to know what she had gifted Old Madam Lowry.
She glanced at him nonchalantly and whispered in his ear with a faint smile, “It’s a secret.”
Smirking, he squinted his eyes before giving her a light peck on her rosy lips. She could hear his tantalizing and dangerous voice surrounding her. “Are you really not going to tell me?”
Blushing, she turned her head to the side and scorned almost inaudibly. “Busybody.”
