Chapter 143

Charlene found herself sitting next to Kenton, but he was engaged in conversation with Helena and hadn’t yet acknowledged her presence.

Turning her head towards Stewart, she said with a hint of gratitude, “Thanks for that.”

She noticed her grandmother’s mood had noticeably improved with Kenton’s arrival.

With all eyes on him, he approached her grandmother with a confident stride and warmly wished her, “Happy birthday.”

He extended a beautifully wrapped gift box towards her, adding, “I wasn’t sure if you’d like the first gift! prepared, so I brought another, hoping it’s more to your taste.”
