Chapter 125 A Present (Part Two) (1/1)
Harper simply nodded her head in agreement, indicating that she also knew what kind of person Nicole was. If it were otherwise, she wouldn't have bothered trying her best to set them up. With a person such like Nicole taking care of everything in the Chu Clan mansion, both Charles and Hailey wouldn't be able to do everything to their whim.
Charles and Nicole had a grand wedding ceremony. The emperor, along with many other imperial members, had a lot of wedding gifts sent to the Chu Clan mansion. Even Allen personally attended to congratulate Nicole on her wedding ceremony.
Meanwhile, Carlson sneaked into the backyard to meet Harper. ”Hey, Harper.”
”Carlson, what are you doing here?” Harper asked, feeling a bit surprised. ”Are you here to visit Her Highness?”
”No, I came here to visit you. You've been so busy all day, and I thought maybe you haven't had anything to eat yet. So, I brought you some food.” With that, he carefully took out a bag from his chest and opened it. Unfortunately for him, the delicious cookies he was planning to give her had been crushed into pieces.
As he looked at the crushed snacks, Carlson helplessly said in an awkward tone, ”Oops, you won't be able to eat them b
ve your hands full these days? I never would have expected that you would be coming here to see me,” Harper asked, feeling a bit curious.
”I'm here to congratulate you! The Chu Clan mansion has a new hostess now,” the man said as he tossed a box over to Harper. ”Here. This is for you.”
”Is this for me or for the mansion's new hostess?” Harper asked, wearing a playful smile on her face as she held the box.
”Do you even have to ask? Of course it's for you. She doesn't deserve it!” the man answered without a bit of hesitation. ”Go ahead and open it. Aren't you curious what is inside it?”
Left at such a loss for words at this moment, Carlson couldn't help but think that this man was too arrogant to say that his aunt did not deserve to receive such a gift. That being said, as he looked at the terrifying sword, Carlson opted to just keep his mouth shut. It was then that he realized he was in a bad mood. If only he had the strength to hit this man, he wouldn't hesitate to do it right away.
”Alright. Let me take a look,” Harper replied. But just as she was getting ready to open the box, the man turned his head and glanced at Carlson. ”You should be taking your leave now,” he said coldly.
