The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2506

"I'm pretty sure Grandma will be able to tell you're the one who prepared the gift. She'll only think I didn't put enough effort into it."

Melody did not mind giving Beatrice something she made herself, but such a gift might be considered too 'cheap' for her. After all, sincerity was considered the least valuable thing to people of high society. Melody must give something valuable and substantial to Beatrice to highlight her respect for her.

Lucas leaned in and rubbed his cheek against Melody's, which was as tender as a baby's. He could not resist doing that, and when Melody got annoyed, she would lightly slap him on the face.

The force was almost negligible, and Lucas would just continue doing what he wanted, leaving Melody alone to deal with her annoyance.

"Grandma will truly be upset if you start thinking like those people. I'm sure she'll love whatever you give her. But go ahead if you want to make something for her to show your sincerity."

The Riveras had already reached a certain status in the country, and if Melody could not even do what she wanted, then all these years of effort would truly have been in vain.

Lucas had long told Melody not to worry so much because the others would praise her for her thoughtfulness no matter what she gave Beatrice. The number of people who wanted to get onto Melody's good side was enough to make a line from New Capital City to Molomia.

Melody was the legitimate daughter-in-law of the Riveras, so who else could dare to give her a hard time? Even if some people would look down on Melody's gifts, it would only be done behind her back. Those who would make sarcastic remarks to her face would not dare to show up at the Riveras' gatherings.

Since Lucas had said so, Melody finally said with her face tilted, "Then I'll knit a scarf for Grandma. The weather's clearly getting colder, and Grandma likes to stroll in the garden, so a scarf would be perfect to keep her from the wind. What do you think?"

In Lucas' eyes, nothing would represent Melody's sincerity better than her handmade gifts. Even so, he could not help but grumble, "But I haven't even received a home-made scarf from you yet..."

Melody fell silent. Indeed, the sequence of their relationship was somewhat different from other couples. Typically, people meet, get to know each other, and fall in love, inevitably exchanging handmade gifts during this process. However, there were never such things between her and Lucas.

Melody pinched his mouth shut. "I'll knit one for Grandma first, and then we can talk about yours later."

However, just giving a handmade scarf was certainly not enough. Melody persuaded Lucas to go with her to shop for an emerald brooch as well, which Beatrice could pin on her scarf. Melody was sure the combination would make Beatrice look very noble.

Of course, Lucas was also very satisfied with Melody's arrangements. It was Melody's first time knitting a scarf and she was still very inexperienced, but she gave the first one to Lucas as a practice piece.

Despite the presence of dropped stitches and holes all over the scarf, Lucas still cherished it as if it were a treasure. He wore it over his suit when he went to work. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The employees dared not look at him when they saw him wearing such a holey scarf. 'Is this another new trend in high fashion? Maybe the boho look is back in style,' they thought.

Although they did not quite understand fashion, the scarf did add a touch of nobility to Lucas, making him look extra handsome. Then again, Lucas would still look handsome even if he was dressed in rags. Melody finished knitting another scarf for Beatrice on the day of the old lady's birthday.
