Chapter 312 - Extraordinary gift... (2/2)
”Did you forget that there are two engaged couples instead of one now?” Reuben reminded her.
”Oh come on Bennie.. You know that I don't have any kind of amnesia so obviously I remember. Now answer me why is there two parcels. I only made one right?” Veronica asked hitting him softly on his chest.
Reuben chuckled at her and hold her hand before kissing her palm softly as he muttered in her ear, ”You made two, my darling. It's just one for Lucinda and Henry…whereas the other for Willa and Neil. You decided to gift the gifts on their engagement day...
You only knew about Henry and Lucinda's engagement so you told me to prepare their gift. But as I gave the idea of proposal to Neil, so I knew about them beforehand. That's why I had also send their gifts to frame them..”
Veronica was totally impressed at Reuben's consideration so she kissed him on the lips and said, ”Thanks babe. You are really the best.”
Reuben grinned and pecked her nose before getting up from the couch so that he could hand the gifts to them.
”As I and Veronica already told you guys that you'll get your gift at the correct moment so here is it.”
Reuben handed the red box to Henry and Lucinda and said, ”This one is for you guys.”
Veronica handed the orange box to Neil and Willa before stating, ”This one is for you.”
”Now open them together. I can't wait to see what's in those boxes that these two were being so secretive from the morning.” Jack said.
”Yeah... I too want to see if their gifts are better than mine?” Louis said who got a smack on the back of his head by Reuben as he said, ”Obviously.. it's hundred percent better than your stupid flower vase set.”
”Ah bro!! You shouldn't say that.. Those are the antique ones which you can't get from some simple Shop…” Louis whined like a kid.
Willa interrupted them and said, ”Okay guys.. Now stop. I really want to see the gift now.”
Both of the couples started opening the covers and when the last piece of wrappers was also removed, they got extremely surprised by the extraordinary gift...
It was a big rectangular frame which was made of wood and designed with black crafts. It was looking extremely beautiful.
But the attraction of the gift was not the frame here but the couple portrait inside it.
Yes.. It was a beautifully painting of both of the couples. The portraits were so much accurate that it was looking very much alive. Every curves and tints were so perfect that it seemed to be a mirror image of the couples..
”Thank you.. Thank you so much Niccy. I just loved it.” Lucinda said before hugging her tightly.
Willa also got up and hugged the two girls before saying, ”Yes Vero. It's the best gift I can ever get. Thanks a lot..”
”Oh!! Hello.. Stop thanking her only. I'm the one who send it for framing and parceling. So leave some thank you for me also.” Reuben said while pouting lightly.
Both Neil and Henry laughed at him and engulfed him in a bro hug before muttering, ”Thank you so much bro. It was really very heartwarming..”
Diana and Myra were also looking at the portraits and became mesmerized by its artwork but then suddenly Myra noticed something which made her eyes broadened out like an elephant..
”You know the artist Nicope??”
