“Alright, but there’s something I have to tell you first,” Elise said.

Upon hearing that, Alexander put down his tableware and looked at her seriously. “Go on.” “I want ourengagement to be simple,” she quickly mumbled.

“A meal with our families will be enough.”

“Is this what you want?” After Elise nodded her head, he continued, “Since it’s what you want, that’ssettled, then. Is there anyone in the family that you want to invite other than your grandfather andgrandmother?”

“No, it’s just them. I’ll invite the others to our wedding.” “Okay, that settles it, then. We’ll do it after theNew Year.”

When they finally came to an agreement, Elise secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Every girl more or lesshoped for a perfect wedding once in their life, but since Jonah passed away not long ago, it wouldn’t beappropriate for them to have a grand ceremony, so they decided to keep it simple. After their meal, shewent back to her room and sat in front of the window alone. As she gazed outside the window thinkingabout something, someone knocked on the door. “Who is it?” The moment she said that, Alexanderopened the door and entered. “Why are you here?” she asked. When she saw the exquisite box in hishands, she walked over to him. “Here you go. It’s for you.” Upon seeing that, Elise felt rather confused.“And this is?” “Your Christmas present.” She received the box in disbelief and as soon as she openedit, she was shocked. “This…” She wanted to say something, but words just couldn’t come out of hermouth for some reason. “It’s the blood jade that we found from the mine before. I asked the company’sdesigners to turn it into a bracelet. It looks quite good.” Elise knew all of this and at the same time, sheknew that it was very valuable. All this time, she thought that Alexander would use the blood jade for

commercial purposes, so she never expected him to turn it into an accessory, never mind give it to heras a gift. “Why are you giving this to me?” “Because it suits you. Keep it.” After that, he turned aroundand left. Looking at his back, she uttered, “Thank you!” As soon as he left, the room returned to normalagain. As Elise stared at the blood jade bracelet, she couldn’t help but reveal a delighted smile. Hashe… fallen in love with me too? The moment the idea came up in her mind, she quickly shook herhead and her eyes darkened. He is probably doing all this for Grandpa. After all, if it weren’t for his lastwish, Alexander wouldn’t have agreed to get engaged with me, never mind giving me such a gift. Deepdown, Elise knew clearly that all of this was because of Jonah. ……… The next day, Elise went back toschool, but her mind was obviously miles away. Even though she was holding a pen with her headdown, she wasn’t writing anything. In the end, Mikayla quickly went over to her and patted her shoulder.“Elise, what are you thinking about? You seem to be lost in your own thoughts.” Elise came backaround and realized that she hadn’t written a word in her book. “It’s nothing,” she mumbled. However,Mikayla wasn’t having any of it, so she whispered to her, “I heard that you are engaged with the heir ofthe Griffith Family, Alexander. Is that true?” As soon as she mentioned the engagement, Eliseinstinctively raised her eyes and stared at her solemnly. “How did you know?” Looking at her reaction,Mikayla giggled. It seems like Jack was telling the truth. “Congratulations! Elise, you are so lucky tohave found a good husband like Alexander.” “Jack is also a nice guy too! You’ve been calling him yourhusband for so long now. Don’t you think it’s time that you accept him as your real husband?” Eliseuttered calmly. Mikayla’s face immediately blushed as she began to stutter, “W-What are you talkingabout? I-It’s not what you think it is.” However, Elise wasn’t planning on letting her go that easily, so shecountered, “Yes, I’m sure that there is more to it.” “That’s not true. We aren’t together yet.” Mikaylacontinued to act dumb. “Oh—in other words, the two of you thought about it before, right?” Mikaylawasn’t sure about it herself since they only went out on dates several times and the two of them onlyhad a few meals together. Other than that, there wasn’t any progression in their relationship. “Elise, doyou think Jack would like a girl like me?” Mikayla asked confusedly, her brows furrowed. At themoment, Elise felt that Mikayla was like one of those love-struck girls who was oblivious to everythingaround them. “If you aren’t sure whether he likes you or not, that can only mean one thing—he doesn’t

like you.” “But he is quite nice to me. It’s just that we never got to that point yet,” Mikayla quicklyreplied. She could feel that Jack was fond of her, but she didn’t wish to rush their relationship. “Look atyourself—it’s obvious that you know what you want.” Elise could finally see the problem between thetwo of them, but Mikayla was still oblivious about it. The problem is that Mikayla is always the onecalling the shots in their relationship. “Then, is there any way to know about his feelings?” After giving itsome thought, Elise answered, “Why don’t we ask Jack to go skiing with us in Switzerland? Maybeyou’ll learn something new afterward.” Mikayla, on the other hand, was surprised by her reply.“Switzerland?! That sounds quite nice, but will he come?” Elise also didn’t know whether he wouldcome, but she felt that he probably would if Alexander asked him to. Looks like I need to ask Alexanderfor a favor, but it’ll be all worth it for my best friend’s happiness. Unexpectedly, after Elise toldAlexander about it that day, he immediately agreed without any hesitation. Therefore, they were set totravel to Switzerland. After midnight on New Year’s Day, the new year began rather quietly. Early in themorning on the first day of the year, Alexander, Elise and Jack rushed to the airport. Seeing that therewere only the three of them, Jack was displeased. “Alexander, why did you ask me to come along? Idon’t want to be your third wheel!” Alexander remained silent while Elise put on a mysteriousexpression. “Calm down. We prepared a surprise for you later on.” However, Jack wasn’t interested inthe surprise at all, because he was dragged along to go skiing with them after finally getting a breakfrom work. Not only that, he now had to watch the two of them being affectionate with one another as asingleton. Even so, after secretly glancing at them, Jack breathed a sigh of relief because it seemedlike their relationship hadn’t reached that point yet. When they arrived at the airport, the trio receivedtheir boarding passes and entered the waiting lounge. However, the moment they came in, they couldsee Mikayla waving at them from not far away. “Over here, Elise!” Meanwhile, Elise said to Jack with asmile, “There you go! What do you think about your surprise?”
