A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 187

The package was wrapped securely. Inside the box contained a bunch of Styrofoam peanuts as well as another box. There was yet another smaller box inside it.

Even after Elyse had unpackaged several layers, she still couldn’t make out what it was.

Michael stood beside and snickered when he watched the scene. “It must be a costly gift to be wrapped into so many layers. Could it be an expensive piece of jewelry?”

Although Elyse felt like it wasn’t expensive, she also felt it must be something special, seeing how it was wrapped in such a way. Although she was getting impatient, she still unboxed it patiently.

In the end, the huge box had transformed into a small envelope about four inches thick. When Elyse grabbed it, she felt something hard inside.

“Oh my, is it a credit card?” Michael could only think of such a gift.

Elyse had always pictured herself as a star. Hence, her followers would not send her meaningless things. Since Elyse didn’t know what it was, she ripped open the envelope. Instead of a credit card, a red card fell out of the envelope.

The moment she caught sight of the red card, her expression froze. Her heart was beating fast, and she felt like she was being slapped in the face.

On the other hand, Michael had also seen the card. “Isn’t this the invitation you sent out yesterday? Who would send it back?”
