I put the boxes down, left the villa, and didn’t take the items inside.
I no longer needed belated affection and compensation.
A few days later, grandmother’s birthday banquet arrived as scheduled.
I got up early, put on a trailing dark green dress, and pinned up my hair.
After arriving at the banquet venue, I took out the gift I had prepared from an exquisite gift box – a silver obsidian protective pendant, forged from ancient silver from Moonlight Mountain and set with rare silver obsidian.
It was said to protect bloodlines and calm the spirit, especially suitable for elderly werewolf elders to wear.
When grandmother received the gift, her eyes crinkled with a smile, though they also misted slightly: “You always remember that I love these old things.”
“As long as you like it.” I smiled and helped her sit down in a chair.
Looking at the crowd coming and going, grandmother suddenly asked: “Why didn’t Ferris come? Doesn’t he accompany you back every year?”
I was startled, then smiled after a moment, my tone gentle: “He’s been very busy with pack affairs lately and really couldn’t get away.”
Grandmother sighed and said nothing.
Soon after, guests began arriving. I received gifts and led guests to their seats, but noticed their expressions seemed somewhat awkward.
‘Sorry, I have another banquet to attend today, so I need to leave early.”
I didn’t try to detain them much and politely said goodbye.
I thought this was just an isolated case, but half an hour later, many people left after just giving their gifts, and quite a few didn’t come personally but had
assistants deliver their gifts instead.
eave?”
Hearing this, my expression changed dramatically.
