Pregnant and Favored: See You in the Morning, Young Master novel Chapter 584

...Which was some paper and an inkstone from Antique Street! At the time, they had thought that it was something that Ava could keep as a treasure… Besides, Ava could also use it to pass the time—as an elder—by practicing her calligraphy and painting.

Even so, since Jenna had bought such an expensive gift and even mentioned that giving antiques to Ava seemed meaningless, things were looking bad. It certainly didn’t help that everyone was waiting for them to give Ava her gift now…

While giving Ava a gift she liked would surely give Xavia the chance to crush Jenna, giving a gift that Ava didn’t like would pull Jenna down as well.

The fact remained that the latter was most probably going to happen if Xavia presented the paper and inkstone. While it was true that Jenna would be dragged down, Ava would also be displeased. What more, with so many reporters about, the media may even attempt to use this to compare her to Jenna!

Above all, what made Xavia feel guiltiest was the fact that Keith had suggested getting Ava a diamond crown last night. The eighty-million-dollar crown itself had eleven emeralds embedded in it, and it was made by an earl for his wife. Though Xavia had agreed that it looked good, it didn’t really serve any purpose, so Xavia ended up convincing Keith to just get the paper and inkstone. After all, it was the thought that counted.

Alas, not only would her decision soon lead to her embarrassing herself, but she’d probably also cause Keith to lose Ava’s favor as well! But what could she do…?

Realizing that Xavia was looking at him with an embarrassed and apologetic gaze, Keith quickly got the message. Following that, he looked to the side before whispering, “Though we can’t give the gift we prepared, I have a backup plan. Are you willing to help me out?”

“…Huh? You’ve thought of a way out of this? Well, as long as you can pull it off, I’ll surely help…” muttered Xavia who didn’t think too hard about it. After all, it was her decision that put Keith in his current situation, so she had to take responsibility…

“Thank you in advance, then, Miss Xavia,” replied Keith in a gentlemanly manner. Following that, he pulled Xavia to the center of the room… and once the two were standing before Ava, Keith declared, “Great-grandma, Xavia and I haven’t prepared any material gifts for you!”

…What? They hadn’t prepared gifts for Lady Burton on her birthday?! Now looking extremely puzzled, everyone began saying things like, “Your great-grandmother doted so much on you as a child, Keith! Are you unwilling to even prepare a gift for her?”
