"I'm glad to hear that. Go ahead." Laura wore a relieved smile at the fact that Timothy had finally wised up.
Holding the box of jewelry, he informed, "Grandma, Luna's here."
"What for?" Her expression dulled upon hearing the information.
"She heard that you finished your surgery and wanted to see you."
"I don't need that. I'm not dead yet." She rose from her seat.
Her reaction was within his expectations. He walked toward Kaleb and told him, "Help me switch the jewelry. Tell Luna to not show up at the party at the moment."
Kaled took the box of jewelry. "Yes, sir."
Intending to switch the jewelry, Kaleb headed to where the presents were placed. Coincidentally, he ran into Shelly, who was leading Luna into the house.
He said, "Ms. Maynard, Mr. Barrett told me to inform you not to show up at the party at the moment."
A grimace distorted Luna's lips. "Why? Is it because Mrs. Barrett Senior doesn't want to see me?"
Kaled left without offering an answer as he had done what he was told to do.
Shelly hurriedly comforted her, "Don't take it to heart, Luna. Grandma is always like this. If she really doesn't like you, she would have driven you out of the house."
Luna managed a smile. "I prepared a gift for her, though."
"She'll know that. Oh, these are the accessories Timothy bought for you. Did you know about it?"
The box left by Kaled appeared familiar to Shelly. Wasn't that the latest limited edition collection from Vior?
She snitched to him on purpose and he really did purchase it!
