"Do you want to give him a present? Why don't you just give yourself to him?"
What the...?!
When Vera saw his message, she was instantly gob smacked.
God, why would Ernest say such things? It was already shameful just thinking about it.
So Vera ignored him completely. She didn't even reply to his message.
Rather, Ernest took the initiative to send her another message.
"Vera, why do you suddenly want to give Quill a present?"
She hadn't wanted to reply to him after seeing his second message, but she still did after a second thought.
"It's just that we don't have any memorabilia after being together for such a long time. So... I want to get him something."
Memorabilia?
Seeing her explanation, Ernest's heart was finally at ease.
When Vera asked him initially, he realized Quill's birthday was right around the corner. So he was worried if she wanted to celebrate his birthday with him.
Realizing he was wrong, he naturally relaxed.
Vera answered flawlessly, so Ernest did not doubt her. After all, she was a young girl, so it was a no-brainer for her to want to get him memorabilia.
However, he thought he should give her some advice.
"Vera, are you planning to give Quill a gift during some special occasion?"
He didn't point out Quill's birthday directly, but if Vera had such an idea, she should understand what Ernest meant.
However, different people thought differently. How could she know what he was thinking?
So Vera only wondered if there were any upcoming special occasions.
After some thought, Vera shook her head. "There isn't any special occasion lately, is there?"
Seeing this, Ernest finally felt relieved.
It seemed that Vera just wanted to give Quill a gift.
After that, Ernest discussed it seriously with Vera.
"I've never seen him passionate about anything from the time I knew him. So I suggest you forget about finding something he likes. Just get something worth keeping, something that can represent you two."
"Huh?" Vera was surprised by his suggestion. "Ernest, you're amazing. How did you know so much?"
As soon as the message was sent out, Vera realized she had said something wrong.
Ernest loved his wife so deeply that he was depressed after she passed away. He never remarried and did not allow other women to approach him.
It was obvious he was very devoted to his wife. So, he might have done these things in the past as well.
Although she knew she had said wrongly, it was too late to withdraw the message. It would be even more suspicious if she did so.
Maybe Ernest didn't even think like that. But by withdrawing her message, she would only stir up Ernest's sorrow.
So Vera only played dumb and continued to ask, "In that case, Ernest, do you have any suggestions?"
Ernest had indeed thought about his late wife for a moment.
