Chapter 173 Christmas Day

It was Christmas the next day.

Elise woke up, only to find that the outdoors was blanketed in snow. She released a warm breath of air and noticed that there was some white fog that appeared in front of her eyes. It’s actually quite cold.

She then dressed in a heavy down jacket and she wrapped herself up warmly before going downstairs. She saw that the servants had already moved the Christmas tree out of storage and placed it in the most prominent spot in the hall.

“Miss Elise, you’re up!”

Elise looked at the Christmas tree in front of her and she happily exclaimed, “This tree’s quite pretty. Where did you find this?”

“This was bought by Young Master Danny last Christmas. At that time, Mr. Griffith…” The servant suddenly turned silent upon the mention of Jonah and merely said, “Ever since Mr. Griffith passed away, the whole place has been so somber, so I wanted to take this opportunity to decorate the house and add some sparkle to the place.”

“Let me help you, then,” Elise offered. However, the servants hurriedly rejected, “There’s no need for that, Miss Elise. We can handle these things ourselves.”

However, Elise didn’t heed their rejection and she reached out for the decorations to start decorating the tree.

Just then, Brendan brought his team back home and he walked in to see such a scene. Unexplainably, he felt a warm, fuzzy feeling within him. However, he still harbored a slight grudge against Elise as he grumbled deep down, She’s a country bumpkin, so how can she be a worthy match for Alexander?!

“Elise, Alex sent me over to get your measurements for the engagement gown,” Brendan said in a flat voice, sounding as if he was completing a task that he was quite unwilling to do.

Just then, Elise paused in her movement and she replied thereafter, “Hold on. I’ll be there shortly.”
