"Nothing much, just a wedding gift related to swans," Caleb said with a gloomy expression, slamming the lids of the four gift boxes shut one by one. The sound was loud and forceful, reflecting just how annoyed he was.

Receiving such a gift at a wedding would make anyone want to explode with anger on the spot.

But Isabelle was cunning. Before the gifts were opened, she had spoken eloquently about the auspiciousness of swans and even blessed Caleb and Sophie's relationship with unwavering love.

Her behavior was impeccable. If Caleb were to lash out in anger, he would be the one in the wrong.

He had no reason to complain about the other three gifts. But seeing the tattered high heels, Caleb could have reacted. However, given the recent scandal surrounding his secret affair with Sophie, any outburst over the shoes would only make the Marquis's estate, and especially Sophie, the subject of ridicule.

So, despite his reluctance, Caleb had to swallow his pride. After a rare moment of clear thinking and suppressing his anger, he said coldly, "Miss Raisa, thank you. We accept your gift, and I will certainly return the favor when I have the opportunity to visit."

Isabelle smiled and raised her eyebrows. "Lord Caleb, you're welcome."

"Miss Raisa?" Hearing Caleb's address, Eliza looked at Diana in confusion. "I remember that's Isabelle's voice."

Diana frowned as well. "I think so, too." She wondered, 'Shouldn't he call her Miss Isabelle? Why is Caleb calling her Miss Raisa?'

"Maybe he just got the name wrong?" Diana speculated, thinking it was a possibility.

But after observing the reactions of the others, Eliza felt that this was unlikely. The two of them didn't delve further into the issue.
