Chapter 90 Hold Hands Under the Table

Then Kevin presented Hecate with a piece of fancy red sprinkled–gold paper containing the gift list.

Bruce muttered a curse under his breath, calling Kevin cunning and sly, then promptly took out his gift list and enthusiastically stuffed it into Hecate’s hand. “Don’t forget mine. Please take a look together.”

Jonathan would turn 28 after the New Year, an age at which his peers would’ve given birth, and their children were already studying in kindergarten.

They had fretted over Jonathan’s illness, fearing any mishap, but despite all the care, his health continued to deteriorate. Now, Jonathan finally had a girl he liked and was getting married. If they could have a child to carry on the bloodline, they would have no regrets.

As long as they could help Jonathan marry Angela, they wouldn’t begrudge any amount of betrothal gifts.

The length of Kevin’s gift list was already astonishing. Now, with Bruce’s added to the mix, anyone would naturally be stunned.

Hecate nervously blushed as she couldn’t read. She had only attended elementary school for a few years before her family stopped her from studying and sent her out to work with. relatives to earn money.

“Donald, you take a look. I don’t know much about these things,” she said, passing the two lists to her husband like a hot potato.

Donald took them and was stunned by the densely packed list. S–So many!

Upon closer inspection of the contents, he was even more dumbfounded, instinctively wanting to return them. They couldn’t possibly return the equal amount of dowry even if they drained their family’s resources. However, another thought,made him hesitate and

withdraw his hands.

Angela was excellent, beautiful, diligent, and sensible, deserving of such a grand dowry. If her in–laws had only prepared a few things hastily instead, that would be a cause for concern. Furthermore, the lists also reflected the Lawson and Sanders Families‘ respect for Angela.

Donald felt somewhat comforted and wanted to accept the gifts on the lists. However, just as he came around, a hand reached out and snatched the betrothal gift lists.

Emilia had long been restless, seeing that her son–in–law spent a long time hesitating to
