Chapter 137

Harvey gave Mr. Roger Sr. a respectful handshake, and like performing a magic trick, he pulled out an intricate-looking box. “Mr. Roger Sr., the elders in my family, are busy, so they’ve gotten me to pass on this small gift to you. If you would.”
Mr. Rogers Sr. was not feeling well, and as he heard that, he nodded, asking Shawn to receive the gift in his stead.
After Harvey greeted Mr. Rogers Sr., he turned his gaze toward Jared, his smile was like a spring breeze, and one could not sense any hostility in it.

Even Murphy, who was about to slink away, also stopped as he could not help to be enchanted.
