His Darling Shrew |18+ (His Darling Series #2)

Chapter 29

"My lady, another gift arrived..!"

Thellia's eyes bore at another present.

'It's only been a week, yet my room is already stocked with gifts and boxes.'

She couldn't help but frown.

'I can barely move in this room anymore...'

"What is the gift this time?"

'Because of these gifts, I barely have enough space to breath. It's too much!'

"Is it from the same man again?"

The handmaiden smiled. "My lady, you know very well that it's from your fiancé candidate."

"Right...."

'I have no interest.'

Thellia was dejected.

"Ha..." She sighed.

'I... miss Lyle...'

"My lady, look!" The handmaiden showed Thellia the glimmering necklace.

"This precious jewel will suit you!"

Unlike the happy handmaiden, Thellia was rather unnerved. She couldn't care less about the gifts.

Her handmaiden was more excited than she is.

"How nice." Thellia briefly replied.

"Oh look, my lady! It came with a beautiful dress!"

Thellia blankly stared at the dress with her mind blank, only thinking of Lyle. Though she couldn't help but admit that it was indeed a beautiful dress.

'It looks expensive.'

"Put them all away." She said.

"Pardon?" The handmaiden looked at her.

"But my lady, are you not going to try them on?"

"What's the use of trying them on? I'm not going out anyway."

"But still-!"

"Ah, and could you also move the boxes to another room? It's making my room a bit stuffy, it's all a clutter..."

"My lady..!" The handmaiden, Jiliana gasped.

"How could you call your precious gifts a clutter? They are all expensive!"

"Then forget that I said it was a clutter."

"But my lady, you must try everything on first!"

"I'll pass." Thellia flailed her hand.

"My lady..! Just take a look at them at least?"

Thellia pursed her lips. "I've already seen it though?"

"Really?" Jiliana tilt led her head, doubting Thellia's words.

"Yes." Thellia lied.

"Then, how many hats were gifted?"

"....."

"....."

"It seems like my lady did not check-"

"One hat." Thellia intervened her handmaiden's words.

"I guess." Thellia added.

"Wrong!"

"Oh...."

Thellia pursed her lips in a thin line. 'How awkward it is.'

"My lady! You didn't open a single box at all?!" She frowned at Thellia.
