Trapped in Love

Chapter 777 Gifts 

Paige perked up at Azure’s comment, locking eyes with her. She casually asked, “How do you know Alex is so considerate?”

Azure calmly poured herself a cup of tea and explained, “Alex and I have been friends since we were kids, so I’ve experienced his thoughtfulness over the years. Ms. Watson, you need not concern yourself with these minor details.”

“What a piece of work! She’s praising Alex’s consideration, but she’s telling me not to worry about it!

Maybe she should keep her mouth shut,‘ Paige thought.

Paige smirked and turned to Alex with a cheerful expression. “Look at how understanding Ms. Miller is, Alex!”

Alex sensed Paige’s annoyance and quivered upon hearing her words. He was aware that Paige was upset, so he quickly addressed Azure, “Why bring this up, Fa- Azure? It’s been a long time.”

Alex refrained from using the nickname ‘Fatty Azzie‘ out of fear.

Azure conceded with lowered eyes and a smile, “You’re right, Alex. I misspoke.”

Azure reached for two gift bags she had prepared and placed them on the table. She grinned, saying,

These are my gifts for your upcoming baby and your wedding.”

Perplexed, Alex said, “You really shouldn’t have. We can handle these things ourselves.”

Paige chimed in. “Alex, why turn down Ms. Miller’s generosity? She invited us out to celebrate with us.

Rejecting her like this would be awkward.”

Paige gave Alex a meaningful look as if to say, “You must accept these gifts if you’re not hiding something!”

Not daring to oppose Paige, Alex accepted the presents from Azure and handed them to Paige. “Take a look, Paige.”

Paige glanced at Azure and asked, “May I open them now, Ms. Miller?” Azure replied after a pause, “Of course.”

Paige proceeded to unwrap the gifts one by one. For the baby, there was a pendant and a bracelet, both bearing the inscription “Keeper of my heart. For Paige and Alex, there was a set of personalized wine glasses.

Paige was pleasantly surprised by Azure’s heartfelt blessings. She let her guard down and set the gifts aside. “Thank you so much for these thoughtful presents.” From NôvelDrama.Org.

Azure smiled and suggested, “Give the tea a try. I ordered one suitable for expectant mothers.”

Paige glanced at the steaming tea in the clear teapot, then picked up the teacup and took a sip. Afterward, she sent photos of Azure’s gifts to Caroline

Paige: [I can’t quite figure Azure out. She once told me she’d compete with me for Alex, yet now she’s showering us with gifts.]

Meanwhile, Caroline was instructing Josie to recall all the secretaries who were currently undergoing training elsewhere. She received Paige’s message just as she finished speaking with Josie

Caroline: [While I don’t want to jump to conclusions, I have a feeling something might be off. Be cautious around her until the child is born.]

Caroline was concerned about the potential strain on Paige and Alex’s relationship, so she offered these friendly reminders to protect their happiness from any unforeseen troubles.
