Eugene was well aware of how much Jade disliked the Montgomery family. The fact that she allowed him to visit for the New Year's celebration was already something he was immensely grateful for, and he wouldn't dream of coming empty-handed.

Mila playfully tapped him on the forehead with a smile. "Have you eaten yet? How about I make you some beef pies?"
