CHAPTER 691 BIRTHDAY PRESENT

At these words, Isabel's face changed slightly, her pretty face slightly chilled, "You came to my birthday

party to congratulate me, why are you insisting on giving gifts?"

Isabel never expected to receive any gifts.

As the youngest daughter of the Holmes Clan, she grew up well-clothed and well-fed, she received

many gifts.

Even some expensive gifts, cosmetics and designer bags, etc. was nothing to her.

Coupled with the fact that the Holmes Clan' style has always been hard-headed and gifts were too

sensitive, they never had always discouraged gift-giving.

But it is already a tradition to give gifts on every holiday.

"Everyone is here to congratulate you, and that's true, it's just that a gift is one of the most direct ways

to show feelings."

Another agreement came from the party.

It was Blake, who also stood up with a smile and looked at everyone and said, "I'm sure everyone here

has prepared a gift for Isabel, right?"

The guests nodded their heads.

"Yeah, how can you come to a party and not prepare a gift?"

"Isabel, I bought you a present a long time ago."

"......"

Along with these words, Leo and Sharon's eyes narrowed slightly and they looked at that Blake a few

more times.

He hadn't spoken for a long time, and Leo thought he had become sensitive, but he opened his mouth

at this moment.

Isabel didn't say anything, everyone was being kind and she couldn't refuse.

But she still didn't want to accept the gift and could only look back at the old Commander of Wyverns.

The old Commander of Wyverns was also hesitating, his brow furrowed.

Blake hurriedly echoed, "Don’t worry, this is not a bribe, it is just a token of birthday wishes."

"Mr. Bell is right, take it."

"That's just a gift."

......

The other guests nodded in agreement.

Perhaps it was the crowd that made it difficult for the old Commander of Wyverns to disagree.

"All right then."

At these words, all the guests present became excited.

The old Commander of Wyverns at least accepted the gifts.

Each of the families took out their long-prepared gifts and lined them up one by one to give them away.

Watching this scene, Blake and Morgan both couldn't help but look at Leo with a smug look on their

faces.

They had prepared gifts in advance, but Leo did not.

When the time comes, they will be embarrassed when others were giving their gifts.

Lydia was afraid that Leo would be embarrassed and couldn't help but say, "Do you want me to ......"

Leo waved his hand and said with a straight face, "No need, I will get the gift ready."

Lydia still wanted to say something, but looking at Leo's look of confidence, she simply did not say

anything more.

When it was Morgan's turn, he cleared his throat before pulling out the Western jade stone given to him

by Blake and handing it over.

"Old Commander of Wyverns, this is a jade I bought from the West at great expense, it is said to bring

good luck to the wearer, now I give it to Isabel."

After saying this, he offered the Western jade with both hands.

Isabel froze for a moment. The guests before gave either bags or jewellery, nothing new at all.

On the contrary, this piece of blood-coloured jade given by Morgan is very original.

Looking at the expression on Isabel's face, a glimmer of hope rose in Morgan's heart.

He knew that the gift had endeared itself to Isabel. holds © this.

He continued, "Isabel, I am true to you, and I hope this jade stone will be a testimony between us."

"Grandpa Sidney is here to witness it."

Morgan said sincerely.

The old Commander of Wyverns did not speak, but said to Isabel, "Show it to me."

Isabel respectfully handed the jade to the old Commander of Wyverns.

The old Commander of Wyverns put on his glasses and studied it for a long time, then sighed.

"It is indeed a jade from the West, Isabel, take it."

"Yes, Grandpa."

Even the old Commander of Wyverns had said so, Isabel could only take it.

Squeezing it in her hand, Isabel had a slightly strange expression on her face and gave Morgan a

somewhat depressed look.

It felt as if she had accepted a gift from Morgan.

Morgan was overjoyed in his heart and gave Blake a fierce pat, "It really worked, from now on, you are

my bro."

Blake was excited in his heart and couldn't help but say, "Mr. Patel, next it's time to watch their jokes!"

Morgan looked back at Leo, "Yes, let's see what gift he gives later."

Soon, everyone in the banquet hall had finished giving their gifts, and the gifts aside had piled up into a

mountain.

At this moment, Morgan came in front of Leo and looked at him with a smile on his face, "Leo, right?

Others have sent gifts, why don't you give your gift?"

This was said deliberately loudly by Morgan, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

At this point everyone looked at Leo with a very strange look, as if he was a monster.

"Yeah, we all gave gifts, but you didn't. Did you come bringing nothing?"

Blake chimed in.

Isabel stood up for Leo, "It is enough for me that Leo and Sharon are present here."

"That is not truth."

Blake spoke nonchalantly with a smile on his face, "Today is your birthday, but they did not give you

anything as gift, that is disrespectful to you."

"In a small way, that's not taking you to heart, but in a bigger way, it's not taking the Holmes family to

heart!"

The two insisted that Leo came with nothing.

After saying that, Blake looked at Leo again, "Even the young ladies and young masters of the Spencer

Clan and Newman Clan are you friends, it shouldn't be too difficult for you to bring a gift, right?"

Morgan also said to Leo, "I know you got nothing, but it doesn't matter, I'll give you half an hour!"

After saying that, a cold smile spread across the corners of his mouth, he wanted to see what kind of

birthday present Leo could come up with.

Isabel wanted to say something else, but the old Commander of Wyverns waved his hand and looked

at Leo with a smiling gaze.

In public, the old Commander of Wyverns could not directly say that he knew Leo, so he said, "Morgan

gave my granddaughter a Western jade stone, what do you give my granddaughter?"

The faces of all the people paled as they listened.

Morgan and Blake were stunned, and then they were also filled with joy.

Usually when elders encounter this kind of situation, they will say that they don't need a gift, but the old

Commander of Wyverns is actually taking the initiative to ask Leo for a gift.

"This is an opportunity for the old Commander of Wyverns to give you a chance."

Sharon said calmly by Leo's side.

Leo nodded, of course he could see that.

It's just that it's an opportunity and a test.

A test of the old Commander of Wyverns given to him.

After all, the two hadn't seen each other for five years, and the test was not only his ability to read

people's minds, but also his heart.

After some weighing, Leo revealed a smile, "Lydia and I came in a hurry and didn't prepare any gifts on

the way, so I'll give Isabel a calligraphy painting."

Leo's faint voice echoed through the banquet hall, causing the entire scene to fall silent.

Everyone looked at Leo with shock.

People send substantial things, but he was to send a painting?

"Hahahahaha ......"

Morgan and Blake were the first to react, bursting into laughter.

Morgan, in particular, was laughing so hard that tears were coming out of his eyes.

"I think you're really being funny. A calligraphy painting? What's the use of it? To wish Isabel to study

well in the future?"

"Or is it that you word is valuable?"

Leo was not angry, his face still wore a light smile: "You are really right, no matter how old you are, life

is long and you need to seek knowledge in order to perfect yourself."

"The old Commander of Wyverns must have been studying even after his retirement, right?"

Leo looked at the old Commander of Wyverns and asked with a smile.

Morgan was stunned, and then looked at the old Commander of Wyverns with a face full of surprise.

The old Commander of Wyverns nodded: "Yes, my retirement days are too boring, so playing chess

and writing every day is interesting."

When this statement was made, Morgan, Blake and the others dumbfounded.

Leo smiled and continued, "Also my handwriting is not valuable, but it should be liked by someone who

truly understands and loves words."

......

The guests all had mockery on their faces before looking at a middle-aged man sitting in the back row.

It is none other than the literary great Percy Mills.

In a green shirt, he was handsome, but his face did not have any look of contempt, instead, he looked

at Leo with some surprise.

He didn't think that in such a fickle society nowadays, there would be people giving gifts with painting?

"Bro, writing is not as simple as you think, it's not enough to write, you have to think."

Percy kindly reminded, "Think what kind of couplet you should write to fit the situation."

Leo smiled and did not say anything, "Give me the pen and ink."

Soon, a pen, ink, paper and ink stone were presented, and Leo chose a thick brush, then placed it on

the brush and ink to weigh the pen and ink, and then took a deep breath

Morgan laughed coldly in his heart, he simply did not believe that Leo could write a decent word

painting.

In fact, a good handwriting and a good painting are said to be very talented, but nowadays there are

too few people who can write and paint well, and if you are not careful, you will make a mistake.

Even Lydia looked at Leo curiously, not expecting him to know how to write and paint.

Leo slowly exhaled a breath, then waved his brush and began to write.
