A Replacement Bride

Chapter 164

"Your presence is enough to make me happy. There's no need for presents. Joaquin, you should've stopped her." Receiving the presents from Katherine with a smile, Zachary shot a warning look at Joaquin after that.

His grandson answered him with an innocent look instead of words.

"The presents didn't cost me much," she answered humbly.

"It's your thought of us that counts instead of the value of presents, and you've proved to us your affections. It doesn't matter whether the presents are expensive or not because I'm very happy to see you making your attendance. Come on, don't stand here. Head inside and take a seat," Zachary beckoned the two to sit down with a cheerful tone.

Even though he told her the presents weren't necessary, happiness was bursting in his chest nonetheless. He carried the gift bag tightly as if he was worried that someone would snatch them from him.

"Grandpa! What did Katherine give you? Let me have a look." Showing up out of nowhere at the same time when he barely sat, a young girl snatched the gift bag from him and opened it.

There was a square wooden box, a rectangular wooden box, and two delicate glass bottles filled with colorful sugar balls in the gift bag.

"Huh? Katherine, are the two bottles of candies for Grandpa? He has diabetes, so he can't eat them. How about giving them to me?" Grabbing the bottles from the bag, she began to shove them into her pocket.

"Put them down, Tiara!" As he was upset to see that the gifts exclusively for him were about to change hands, Zachary walked over with flushed cheeks and took the glass bottles from her.

The young girl longingly stared at them. "But Grandpa, those are candies! Since you can't have them, why can't you give them to me? How about you giving me only one? I want to try at least once."

Tiara loved sweet food the most and she was interested in all kinds of sweet food since her childhood. The colorful candies in the bottles caught her attention the most and she almost drooled at their delicious look.

Zachary shot daggers at her as he scolded, "Buy them with your money. Do you have no shame in robbing an old man's possession? These are my presents from Kathy. All mine! Oh, the gifts belong to your grandmother too."
