Zoey grinned. “Oh, darling, you’re so ignorant! She doesn’t see you as a big brother! Why don’t you make it up to her with a gift? Here, take this!”

I won’t even receive an allowance to buy gifts with!

Levi smiled. “Why didn’t I think of that? Thanks for the money! I’ll make sure to buy the best gift that I can find.”

Afterward, he told Azure Dragon to prepare a gift for Lauren at the wedding.
