The Unveiling of Secret Queen

Chapter 301: Chapter 301: Edric’s True Gift_1

Skin like ice, bones like jade, bright eyes, and brilliant teeth.

Such a face would not be outshone even among the elite beauties of the entire Beijing social scene!

So beautiful that he wanted to hide her away!

It was exclusive possession.

Not to share!

Alfred Garland, however, hadn’t thought that much, simply awestruck by the girl before him, he couldn’t help but exclaim, ”Ms. Quinlan, if you wore dresses more often, those female stars would have nothing on you!”

This was just too, too, too beautiful!

He had always thought that the young lady from the Zachmann Family was quite attractive, dignified, and elegant, very much the epitome of a fine lady, once believing that such looks were the pinnacle of beauty.

Now, looking again, the young lady from the Zachmann Family was indeed not bad-looking, but compared to Ms. Quinlan, one was of the earth and the other of the heavens!

Would you still be amazed by the mediocrity of earthly grease and vulgar powder after having seen the celestial fairies above?

The answer is definitely—no!

At this moment, Alfred Garland somewhat understood why Amadeus Yancey liked Nathalie Quinlan; as a man, it was really hard not to be moved.

His lack of infatuation was simply because he knew Amadeus liked her.

Another reason was that, after spending a lot of time with her, he came to see Nathalie Quinlan more as a sister and a friend, with no romantic thoughts involved.

But it didn’t prevent him from admiring beauty!

Nathalie Quinlan caught his undisguised admiring gaze and furrowed her brows, unsure, ”Really, it’s alright?”

Edric Yancey had recovered from his astonishment, lifted his cute, icy little face, and nodded vigorously, ”Beautiful!”

”Especially beautiful!”

”Especially beautiful” wasn’t enough; he pursed his lips, feeling he needed to express his true inner thoughts, and added, ”Especially, especially, especially beautiful!”

Hehe, his sister was indeed the most beautiful!

She was much prettier in a dress than those other sisters who wore dresses!

A sense of inexplicable pride swelled in Edric’s heart as he eagerly handed over another gift he was clutching, ”This is also for my sister.”

He was hiding another gift? Amadeus hadn’t noticed he was holding something else, but then he saw a hairpin clenched in his palm.

The hairpin wasn’t big, adorned all over with sparkling ’rhinestones’, shaped like a star, with a hollow center, about the size of a glass ball.

Seeing the hairpin Edric took out, his eyes narrowed slightly, turning profound.

He recognized this hairpin.

It belonged to his deceased cousin, Edric’s mother, Liviani Yancey.

When the little fellow was three years old, realizing he was different from other children without a mother, he went to the old master to ask.

Why did everyone else have a mother, and he did not?

In other families, elders might hide the truth, saying something like your mother has gone on a trip or fabricating some other lie.

But the Yancey Family had never, ever pampered children, lacking the awareness to comfort a child’s heart, and frankly told him his mother was dead, turned into a star in the sky.

It was that time Edric first encountered the word ’death’.

After that day, he fasted for three whole days, refusing to eat a single bite, insisting on joining his mother to become a star in the sky.

The depths of Amadeus Yancey’s eyes seemed to conceal a dark, profound ocean.

It was that time he first saw the old master panicking, not knowing what to do.

It was only after his aunt took out his cousin’s belongings and gave him the star hairpin, crying and coaxing, that the little fellow was willing to eat.

However, after that, the little fellow’s temper became capricious, he could be as joyful and lively as any other child when happy.

When unhappy, he would lock himself in the room of the Leaf Garden, refusing to come out the whole day.
