Chapter 205

205 Busy

The female secretary bought a gift for Gordon that would surely please a little girl.

It was a doll, exquisitely crafted from head to toe, with a delicate face, beautiful clothes, and silky-smooth hair.

Gordon grabbed the gift and headed straight to Caroline's place.

When he arrived downstairs, he locked eyes with Leo, who was also holding a cute, pink gift box.

Leo's eyes widened in surprise, but then he quickly greeted Gordon politely. "Uncle."

Gordon grunted in response. He was just as taken aback to see Leo here, but he didn't mind.

Having Leo around actually made him feel more at ease.

Leo glanced at the gift in Gordon's hand and then at his own. Just by the color of the boxes, it was obvious they were both for

Eloise.

Gordon furrowed his brows in thought. "What special occasion is it today?"

He was here to curry favor with Eloise, but what about Leo?

Could it be Eloise's birthday?

Gordon, who was far from being a perfect father, let alone a perfect grandpa, had no idea when Eloise's birthday was.

If it really was her birthday, the doll he'd brought might seem a bit too ordinary.

And it was too late to get something else now.

But Gordon was quick-witted.

He figured the doll was just a starter. If it was Eloise's birthday, he could always give her something more substantial, like an education fund.

There were plenty of ways to show his love for her.

Leo was initially puzzled by Gordon's presence. Gordon, his uncle, had a strained relationship with his cousin Caroline. They hardly ever interacted, almost like strangers.

And then it hit him-wasn't his relationship with Caroline in the same boat?

Today, not only did Gordon show up, but he also brought a gift for Eloise. Like Gordon, Leo first thought it might be Eloise's birthday.
