Howard Coleman poked his head out and asked like a curious father, “What gift?”

Before Rusell Henris had a chance to speak, Edward Woods rolled his eyes and said, “What else could it be? A gift from Ruby Gregory, of course.”

Steve Burton went straight to the underground parking lot.

Seeing him, the parking attendant promptly unlocked the car and opened the door for him, “Mr. Burton, would you like me to drive you out?”

Steve shook his head and simply reached out his hand.

The parking attendant respectfully placed the car key in Steve’s hand and tactfully left.

Steve bent down, got into the car, closed the door, fastened his seatbelt, and turned his head. Just as Rusell had said, he saw an exquisitely wrapped gift box on the passenger seat.

Steve reached out, gently caressed the gift box for a moment, then turned on the car’s interior light, picked up the gift box, and carefully began to unwrap it.

For three whole years, after celebrating his birthday and facing all sorts of wrapped packages in the room, he didn’t know which to open first.

For three whole years, he had not received a birthday gift from her.

Steve’s fingertips trembled slightly as he unwrapped the gift. He tried his best to steady them, finally tearing off the outer layer of wrapping paper and revealing the box.

It was a small, delicate, and beautiful blue box with the GUCCI logo on top.

Steve opened the box and saw a simple yet elegant tie clip inside.

Steve fastened the tie clip to his tie, examined it in the rearview mirror, and then stepped on the gas pedal, driving straight back to the Burtons’ house.

Steve parked the car in the Burtons’ yard and habitually glanced at the neighboring yard before entering. He saw that the room where Ruby lived on the second floor only had a dim night light on.

She must have already returned home and gone to bed.

Steve stood in the yard, staring at the light in Ruby’s room for quite some time before going inside the house.

It was already past eleven o’clock at night, and only the old housekeeper was watching TV in the living room. When she saw him enter, she quickly stood up, “You’re back, young master? Would you like a late-night snack?” Steve shook his head and went straight upstairs.

Upon returning to his bedroom, he headed right for the closet.contemporary romance

Through the glass door of the closet, one could see many boxes from different brands neatly arranged inside.

Underneath each box, there was a card with a date written on it.

These were all gifts from Ruby Gregory, starting from when she was five years old and became aware of the world around her.

Steve used his key to unlock the closet and placed the gift box containing the tie clip inside. However, there was a gap of three cards marked with dates but no gifts between this gift box and the other ones.

Ruby didn’t attend Steve’s birthday party after returning to her suite. She left the suite, went straight to the underground parking lot, and drove home.
