Everyone fell silent. Stephen stood on the lawn outside, looking through the open window at the situation in the dressing room. He furrowed his brow, sensing that things were not going well. He gently tapped Evie on the lower back and said, “You should go back. I’ll give Lincoln a call.” Evie nodded and whispered, “Make sure you explain it well. Don’t cause any unnecessary misunderstandings.” Stephen looked at Evie, worried, and explained, “I haven’t had any thoughts about Zayla for a long time.” Evie paused for a moment, then quickly shook her head. “That’s not what I meant. I’m afraid you might not speak with enough precision.” “Not afraid that I would take this opportunity to sow discord and take advantage?” “I know you’re not that kind of person,” Evie said with unwavering certainty. Stephen felt relieved upon hearing that. The level of trust between the two of them had reached new heights during CEO their time together. “Well, I know you know, but I still want to explain,” he said. “Why?” Evie asked, somewhat puzzled. He explained, “To give you more peace of mind.”
Evie hesitated for a moment, thinking that Stephen had become more refined, and asked, “Where did you learn that?” “Encyclopedia.” “What? They teach that in the encyclopedia?” “Yes, Lincoln wrote it.” Evie was speechless and thought, “So, he learned it from the groom.” Immediately after, Stephen dialed Lincoln’s number while Evie returned to the dressing room. Inside the dressing room, it was quiet. In theory, Zayla was already Simon’s Aunt, so it was only natural for her nephew to give her a wedding gift. However, considering their previous relationship, this wedding gift seemed to provoke unwarranted thoughts.
“Aunt Zayla, if you don’t accept it, I’ll tell Simon that. You have the right to refuse,” Ophelia said. Zayla smiled at Ophelia and said, “Please tell him I appreciate the wedding gift he sent. I really like it.” Her words were sincere, without a hint of falsehood, but they also seemed incredibly perfunctory. She hadn’t even opened the wooden box yet. How could she say she liked it? “Aunt Zayla, do you want to open it and see before deciding if you like it?” Ophelia worried that it might be something inappropriate.
Zayla gently shook her head. “Regardless of what’s inside, it’s his heartfelt gesture. There’s no reason for me not to like it.” Ophelia nodded repeatedly, thinking to herself, “Aunt Zayla is absolutely right!”
After that, she wished Zayla a happy wedding and joyfully hopped out of the dressing room, feeling a great sense of relief. Once Ophelia left, Zayla looked at the wooden box in front of her. If it contained something unsuitable, she could just get rid of it and make sure Lincoln, that jealous man, never found out! Zayla opened the wooden box, and inside, she found nothing but pearls! “Wow!” Linda exclaimed, “Is Simon buying up all the pearls in the world?” Evie was also amazed. The Olsen family was wealthy, but she had never seen so many pearls before, and each one was so perfect. Acquiring this many flawless pearls not only took money but also time and effort. Zayla noticed a red card placed on the side. She opened it and saw Simon’s handwriting. [Zayla, you once said that I couldn’t see how precious you are, like a pearl. But by the time I realized it, it was too late. I can only wish you a happy wedding from afar. I hope everything goes well.]
