Chapter 90

Carlton pulled out his gift list and handed it over to Daphne.

Samuel muttered under his breath, calling Carlton a sly old fox. Not wanting to be outdone, he quickly whipped out his own list and shoved it into Daphne's hands. "Here's mine, take a look." After the New Year, Maximilian would be turning 28. Most folks their age already had kids in kindergarten.

They'd been worried sick about Maximilian's health. Despite all their care, he just kept getting worse.

Now that Maximilian had finally found a girl he liked and was getting married, with the hope of having a kid to carry on the family name, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief. They didn't mind showering Katniss with gifts to help Maximilian marry her.

The gift list was already crazy long, and now with two lists combined, it was enough to make anyone's jaw drop.

Daphne's face turned red with anxiety. She was barely literate, having only gone to elementary school for a few years before her family pulled her out to work.

"I can't really make sense of this, Wesley, you take a look." Daphne handed the two lists to Wesley.

Wesley took them and was immediately floored.

Looking closer at the contents, he was even more shocked and instinctively wanted to hand them back.

Such extravagant gifts would drain their family's savings, and they couldn't afford it.

But another thought quickly stopped Wesley. He hesitated for a moment and then pulled his hand back.

Katniss was amazing-beautiful, hardworking, and sensible. She deserved such a grand gesture. If the other side had only prepared a few things carelessly, that would be a problem. Plus, the gift list showed the Hamilton family's respect for Katniss.
