Chapter 88 The Engagement With Jonathan
“Oh, this…” Upon noticing Fanny looked at another gift box, Zacharias hesitated before answering her. He glanced at the others and said, “In theory, today is also Angela’s birthday, so I think we should give her a gift as well.”
Fanny and Angela were born on the same day, which led to the mix–up.
Although their birthdays coincided, Zacharias recalled that Angela was hardly ever celebrated in the family. Sometimes, she didn’t even receive verbal blessings.
With this in mind, Zacharias felt something amiss in his heart, so he casually prepared an extra gift.
Moreover, he always felt uneasy about having Angela be Fanny’s bridesmaid.
After all, Angela was their sister, too.
Upon hearing that the gift was for Angela, Samuel’s expression instantly turned cold.
He walked over quickly, snatched the gift box from the table, and opened it. Then, he coldly said, “Look at her recent attitude toward us, rebellious to no end, sometimes talking nonsense! How can she, who is so immature, wear the same necklace as Fanny?”
“Zacharias, you’re showing favoritism.” Samuel looked at him with a puzzled expression, not understanding why Zacharias suddenly prepared a gift for Angela. “Today is Fanny’s birthday, the most important day of the year. Yet, you’re only thinking about Angela.”
Zacharias didn’t argue back, but his brows furrowed. Today is the most important day of the year. Isn’t it an important day for Angela as well?
the two of them arguing, Fanny looked worried and said, “Zacharias, Samuel. can you please not be angry? I’m actually very happy to be able to wear the same necklace as Angela, and it’s a gift from Zacharias… Angela doesn’t have any bad intentions. She might have encountered something recently that makes
