"Happy birthday, Dad. We wish you well," Scott and Lily said.

Paul nodded with a smile, "Good."

Next was Benjamin, who presented a unique chessboard custom-made from top-quality emeralds.

Then, Harper followed with an oil painting.

Paul approached the painting, clearly delighted. Everyone could sense his fondness for Harper, and they all knew the connection between Paul and the Mitchells, so no one suspected anything.

Vincent Cardin was a famous artist, one of Paul's favorites since he was young.

Harper nodded. "Do you like it, Grandpa?"

"Like it? I love it! Harper, this gift means the world to me. I've wanted this painting for years, but I never won it at auction."

Paul said excitedly, showing his deep appreciation for Harper. Scott and Lily smiled, clearly pleased as well.

"I'm glad you love it, Grandpa," Harper said with a gentle smile, feeling happy herself.
