A flash of surprise crossed Alaric Davenport's deep, dark eyes, and then he nodded. "Let's eat."
'He probably didn't think I'd buy him anything.'
"You're too kind, sister-in-law. I'll have to get you a gift next time."
Rosalind Lowell smiled. "It's no trouble at all, just a small token. I happened to see something suitable and bought it. It's a good thing Auntie Lynn was there to help with the sizes; otherwise, I wouldn't have picked the right one."
Yasmine Kimball was delighted and praised, "This girl is so endearing! I hope Julian can marry a wife as thoughtful as her!"
"Mom, I want a wife like her too."
Alaric Davenport's easygoing expression suddenly turned cold and stern.
Back in their room, Alaric Davenport looked at her. "You don't have to spend money on them next time. Keep it for yourself."
Rosalind Lowell gave an obedient nod. "Okay, I got it."
