Chapter 128
Grant, who turned his head at the sound, was startled by the horse. When he looked up and saw that it was Nolan, he trembled all over and said in astonishment, “Your Highness! Why… why are you here?
Nolan looked down from above and said, “You didn’t answer my question”

Grant, whose scalp tightened, immediately smiled sheepishly and said, “I’m here to give the Holy Lady a birthday present”
Hearing that it was a birthday present, Nolan felt a little unhappy.
“Serenity’s birthday has long passed. Why are you only sending a birthday gift now?” he said coldly.
Grant could barely force a smile under the inexplicable pressure. “It is a little late, so this gift is also an apology. I made some offensive remarks to the Holy Lady before, and I wanted an opportunity to make it up to Her Ladyship
Eliza opened her mouth to speak but hesitated.
She didn’t seem to agree at the party that day.
But Grant was indeed sincere.
Just as Eliza was thinking about accepting it and explaining to Grant that he didn’t need to take this matter to heart anymore, Nolan suddenly dismounted. He raised his hand and closed the box containing the snow cream.
He said, “If you want to give a gift, give something better. Serenity has plenty of this snow cream. You don’t need to give it to
her.”
Hearing this, Grant frowned slightly. “Is that so? But it’s also true that the Holy Lady was once the legitimate daughter of the Duke’s estate, so she must have no shortage of this snow cream.”
Grant misunderstood Nolan’s words, thinking that the snow cream that Eliza had plenty of was from her past.
He didn’t associate it with Nolan at all.
Nolan frowned slightly, about to speak, when Grant continued without a care, “Since Her Holiness lacks nothing, what’s the point of me giving her this?
“Oh! What a fool I am! How could I have missed that?”
Grant immediately smacked his head in regret, then turned to Eliza and said, “Please wait a moment, Your Holiness. Just one moment. I will go pick out another gift right now!”
With that, he hurriedly left with his servants, carrying the box that held his snow cream.
Before he ran off, he didn’t forget to thank Nolan for his reminder, “Thank you for the suggestion, Your Highness. I have an urgent matter to attend to today. I’ll express my gratitude to you another day!”
Nolan thought, ‘When did I give this brat a suggestion?”
Eliza, who was standing to the side, couldn’t help but smile. “Mr. Fletcher is really quite amusing.”
Previously, because of Caleb, people like Grant never gave her a good look. They would either mock or ridicule her.
Now that she had broken off the engagement and Caleb was no longer there to influence them, Grant had revealed his true
nature.
Grant was much better than the arrogant Caleb, even though they were both in the same circle.

Chapter 128
Nolan stared at her smiling face and suddenly spoke. “Is that so funny?”
His tone was mixed with jealousy. It wasn’t just sour, it was bitter, too.
Seeing Eliza smile so beautifully because of another man made Nolan’s heart ache with jealousy.

He knew Eliza’s smile didn’t mean anything else, but a human was easily dominated by emotions. And now, he felt a strong possessiveness,
He didn’t want Eliza to smile at other men, nor did he want her to smile because of other men, eEven though the smile didn’t carry any special feelings at all.
This feeling made Nolan can’t help but despise himself in his heart.
Serenity was now a nun, he must not have such absurd delusions.
And he couldn’t do anything to cross the line.
Otherwise, he would ruin Eliza.
Although Nolan didn’t consider himself a good person, he wouldn’t do anything without a bottom line, such as destroying what he couldn’t get.
