"You don't have to tellwhat to do, I know that," Timothy said.
When night fell, Timothy squirmed restlessly in his seat. He couldn't help but send Ginger a message. "What are you doing?" But there was no reply, and he becagitated.
Loosening his tie, he stood in front of the window and looked at the lights emitting from other houses.
He could almost imagine how lively the Lane residence was now, but it had nothing to do with him.
He seemed forlorn.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSoon, his phone beeped. Timothy instinctively stubbed out the cigarette in his hand and ran to grab his phone.
To his surprise, his hand was trembling, and his heart was racing.
When he opened his WhatsApp, he found that it wasn't a reply from Ginger but a message from a group chat that tagged everyone. Timothy becdownhearted right away. He left the group chat in annoyance.
Why must they tag everyone at this critical moment? Were they crazy or something? Putting his phone aside grumpily, Timothy rubbed his temples. He couldn't shake the feeling that he wasn't himself anymore.
If it was in the past, he himself wouldn't believe everything that was going on now.
At the stime, the Lane residence was brightly lit. All the maids were busy preparing tonight's family banquet.
Mia was in Sage's room, helping him move all the presents to another room.
As far as she knew, Sage did not like so many things piling up in his room. However, Sage still kept a few presents that he liked.
Mia noticed a rather large telescope. She felt that it looked quite nice.
She knew Sage liked stargazing, so the family also bought Sage telescopes, and she researched stelescope brands. However, she could not recognize this particular telescope in Sage's room.
It must be unique since Sage chose to keep it out of so many other presents.
Mia glanced at the telescope and asked, "Why did you choose to keep this particular telescope only?" "Its performance is great, and it's easy to operate. Plus, it's a limited-edition." Mia nodded. She had inquired about it but could not find one. After all, limited-edition telescopes were like luxurious bags in the eyes of enthusiasts.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt took a bit of luck and effort to acquire such items.
When Sage was still opening the gifts in his room, she left and went to the living room.
Eva looked at her and asked, "How is Sage? How is he adjusting?" "He's fine. This is his hafter all, so I'm sure he can adapt well. But there are too many presents, and he doesn't like them piling up in his room so we asked the maids to sort them out. He'll be here in a minute. By the way, Eva, who bought the telescope?" Dominic said proudly, "I bought one. I think the others bought a few as well. But I'm sure Sage likes the one I bought." Thinking of that, Dominic was slightly annoyed. When he had already bought a telescope for Sage, the other brothers competed with him and bought telescopes as well.
They even made a bet among themselves to see which telescope Sage would keep.
This really annoyed Dominic.
Claude asked curiously, "So which telescope did Sage keep in the end? I'm sure he chose the one I bought. After all, I know very well which type of telescopes kids like.
"I even did sresearch and asked for my friend's help to get it. It's a limited edition telescope that money can't buy. Those expensive telescopes that you all bought with money are not special or valuable at afp." sŵA realization hit Mia. "Oh, are you the one who bought the black and white telescope?" Claude answered in surprise, "No, the one I bought is gray."
