CHAPTER 75: SOCIAL DEATH SCENE

In the Sutton Family, dinner was over, and Simon and his wife sat on the sofa, with the items Mia had brought back placed on the coffee table in front of them.

Mia stood upright in front of them, her hands clasped together in front of her, head slightly down, looking very obedient.

The atmosphere in the house was very quiet.

After an unknown amount of time, Simon spoke, "Let’s hear it."

Mia: "Ah..."

Ashley took a sip of tea from the table and then slowly said, "Ah what, just talk about that boyfriend you mentioned... is he real?"

She knew her daughter; it’s possible she’d invent a boyfriend out of thin air.

Mia: "..." Fake, because I just directly found you a son-in-law!

But could Mia dare say that? She wouldn’t dare!

"He’s real! Oh, and these things were specially prepared by him for you guys. I even helped him pick them out."

Ashley casually asked, "What did he prepare?"

Mia’s smile faltered slightly, just a tiny bit: "..."

How could she know what was prepared? She just grabbed them and came back without having the time to look.

The next second, she acted completely composed and quickly said, "For dad, it’s a pen. It’s super expensive, looks great, and is practical. How nice.

For mom, it’s a jade bracelet, jade keeps you looking young, mom will definitely look more and more beautiful."

Mia even threw in some flattery while speaking.

Good thing she picked out a few things before coming back; she truly is a clever little rascal.

As for what Jensen Sterling bought...?

No worries, she’ll just swap the things around, she’s really too smart.

With that, she reached for the bag, took things out.

Upon opening, there was a watch with no logo, probably custom-made.

Mia: "..."

Simon leaned back on the sofa, slightly lifted his chin, "Is this the pen you mentioned?"

Mia: "..."

An accident, definitely an accident!

Then she quickly started opening another one, this time it was jade, but not a jade bracelet, rather a complete piece of blood jade, not very large, but meticulously crafted, carved into the shape of coral, clearly valuable.

Ashley’s voice had a hint of amusement, "Is this the jade bracelet you mentioned?"

Mia: "..."

Someone, give her a knife and end it quickly, why does it have to be like this!

What a socially awkward scene!

Is it the bag’s fault for being the same? Can she blame the identical bags for being taken wrongly?

Looking at the two items on the table, Mia laughed awkwardly twice, "Took the wrong ones, took the wrong ones. These are what I prepared for you. I’ve got a good eye, right? Hang on, I’ll pull out what he gave you."

Then she started digging again, this time getting it right, a fountain pen and a jade bracelet.

The pen was the latest limited edition, simple and elegant design, all black with a gold cap, made with matte texture, looked very nice.

And the jade bracelet was of great material, very clear with no impurities, the quality was evident.

"Here, this is the one. I just grabbed the wrong ones earlier."

Sorry about that, Mr. Sterling.

Seeing the four items laid out before them, Simon and his wife had a clear understanding, realizing that the first set taken out was likely prepared by her boyfriend, and the latter ones by Mia.

Though all were good, the first ones were clearly of higher value, and it was obvious she chose the latter.

She had picked based on practicality.
