A Graduation Gift

Cassandra sighed, watching her sister look all cute and sweet as she looked at Arthur with full admiration.

She would wish them happiness...if only she were convinced that they really loved each other. A part of her was suspicious that Arthur reappeared at such a critical time. She could not help but feel that there was something off.

Cloris immediately ran towards Edith when they arrived the Garden Villa.

"Mother, I missed you so much!"

Cloris said excitedly as she wrapped her mother in her arms.

Cassandra and Arthur followed, carrying Cloris's suitcase. Edith took in the sight of her younger daughter. She could not believe she was actually home! The sight filled Cassandra with happiness.

If only her father were present, then it would really be a family reunion.

"Mother, this is Arthur, my boyfriend."

Seeing Arthur come in, Cloris went to take his hand and led him to Edith.

Edith looked at him, surprised. She surveyed him from head to toe as Arthur greeted her with a graceful bow.

"Very pleased to meet you, Mrs. Qin. This is a gift for you,"

he said as he took out a gift box that he seemed to have prepared for Edith.

He looked like a very sophisticated man. This pleased Edith, but a part of her was still stuck on the surprise that Cloris had a boyfriend.

"Mother, the food is getting cold. Cloris must be hungry,"

Cassandra announced to remind Edith of the meals she had prepared. Understandably, she was too excited to see her daughter again. Edith nodded and acknowledged Cassandra's reminder.

"Oh yes, you're right! We should eat! I've prepared Cloris's favorite food!"

Edith had not completely recovered yet, but she managed to prepare a really delicious meal. Its appetizing aroma filled the dining room as they all sat around the dining table. This felt like home.

Cloris kissed Edith on her cheeks happily and sat down on her seat, ready to enjoy the meal.

Edith filled Cloris's dish from time to time. She could not seem to wipe the smile off her face. Cloris was her favorite daughter. She had almost forgotten what it was like to have her around ever since she went to study abroad.

Now, she was back with a boyfriend. Edith could not be happier.
