Chapter 385 385: The Gift Is Expensive
Irish did not expect that he would say this, so she looked up at him but found he had drawn back his eyes and drank tea slowly. Soon he finished the cup of tea, and Ruby hastily filled it up for him. She lowered her head and then took a deep breath to calm down. Then she heard Ruby say in a soft but jealous voice, "Lilith, when you get so close to Isabel?"
Before Lilith could reply, Irish answered her immediately, "I have no choice, now that I am in the same front with her and have signed a confidential agreement with her." Finishing her words, she took an apple and bit off a large piece of the apple while Ruby was confused, and Joseph also frowned at her. But Irish didn't make any response to them, putting her hands on Lilith's shoulder and asking, "What do you think?"
"Of course." Lilith was very cooperative and waved at Ruby, "Confidential means that I can't tell you."
Henry was very pleasant and sighed with feeling. "Naughty girls."
But it seemed Joseph had recalled something, and a faint smile showed up on his face.
Lilith then hugged Irish actively and acted like a spoiled kid, "Dear sister, please tell me where you bought this coat. It is so beautiful, and I also want to buy it." Irish was speechless and then said after a while, "You don't fit this color."
"I don't think so. This color matches my skin, and it is very popular this year. Please tell me." She began to sway her arms.
"This... this is a gift from others, and it wasn't bought in New York."
"Wow, who is so generous to you? I know it must be expensive since the material is high-grade. And it fits you very well. Who gave it to you?" It seemed that Lilith did not intend to give up her question, while Irish looked very embarrassed.
When Lilith still kept asking her, Joseph put down the teacup and said, "I bought it for her."
He successfully solved her doubt while Irish trembled after hearing this. Henry looked at Joseph as if he was pondering, while Ruby showed a cold smile. Kelly was also shocked, staring at them with her erratic eyes. Finally, it was Lilith who broke the deadlock. She frowned at Joseph deliberately and joked. "Brother-in-law, you are unfair, and I am also your sister-in-law, and why do you give a gift of no sincerity to me?"
"You mean the diamond bracelet is a gift of no sincerity? It is priced like fifteen cities." Joseph laughed.
But Lilith was eloquent and then soon replied, "You are a diamond dealer, so you didn't spend much time picking the gift for me. It is the same as a butcher presenting the pork to others."
Joseph just smiled brightly but said nothing while Lilith continued, "But the gift for my sister Irish is totally different from that diamond bracelet since you must have spent much time preparing for this." Lilith said frankly, like a jealous kid, and ignored Ruby completely.
Irish was about to explain, but she suddenly changed her mind since she wanted to know if he would explain and how he would explain it. Unexpectedly, he answered patiently, "It is because your sister is in South Africa at that time, so it would not cost much time to customize."
It seemed that he answered very casually, but those people who knew him would get the key point. That was, he also spent time customizing the coat for her, and as for a successful businessman, it was unnecessary for him to waste even a single second to do that, let alone he said it was customized, which meant he accompanied her in person to customize it.
Irish was so smart that she could understand what he meant, so she turned to Ruby secretly but found she did not get the point at all. Not only that, perhaps other people also did not get the point because they did not show any objections. The coat was indeed a gift from Joseph and was customized in South Africa. She would always remember that day when he finished his work in advance and decided to go shopping with her on that sunny afternoon. She even recalled that someone whispered behind them when they were walking on the street, "Look at the lovers. They are well matched." Irish blushed after hearing that while he also puckered his mouth into a smile.
When passing by a high-end customization store, he saw the coat from the showcase and insisted that she should have a try since he thought the color fitted her well. And then she accepted his suggestion and tried the coat. Finally, Joseph paid for it decisively. When the tailor came to measure the size for her, she asked if he was her boyfriend and praised him as a handsome and patient man with good taste.
He was very patient because it cost nearly three hours to adjust the style of the coat. He did have good taste, and she suddenly fell in love with that color. But she forgot that he was a diamond businessman, so he must have a high talent for color assortment.
Lilith puckered her mouth and said, "Can you also customize a coat for me?"
"Your bracelet is much more valuable than the coat." Joseph tried to avoid replying to her directly.
"Really? I never expect my gift to be the most valuable."
Joseph smiled gently and said, "It is because you are well-behaved among my sisters-in-law, so I have to give the most valuable gift to you."
Hearing this, Irish bit her teeth since she knew he was satirizing her. Lilith was more cheerful after hearing this, while Ruby, besides him, suddenly said, "Joseph, you treat your sister-in-law better than your wife." Joseph smiled faintly but said nothing.
Hearing this, Irish sneered and said sarcastically, "Ruby, don't be jealous; since you are his wife, that means he is yours, and it is much more valuable than the gifts."
Ruby also replied with a sneer, "Yes, you are right."
Joseph looked at two of them, who both opened strife and veiled struggle, but he was not worried that Irish would come to grief since she had the gift of the gab.
