Chapter 252
“Why a butterfly?” Jayden asked, examining his ring closely.
“Well, you both made a significant change in your lives by coming together, and together, you’ll continue to transform your lives into something more beautiful and lasting,” Elliot explained.
“That’s a beautiful thought, Elliot,” Deborah said.
“It’s a lovely message, and wow… you’re really impressive, using those tiny diamonds to create the butterfly wings,” Jayden added, still admiring the intricate work.
“Thank you. It did take a bit longer because I had to find the right pieces to create the wing design,” Elliot replied.
“Elliot never ceases to amaze me. It’s very challenging to work with diamonds that small,” George said, his pride evident in his voice.
“Hehe, you really do have a great talent, Elliot.”
“Thanks, brother.”
“Ooh… Gaa…”
“Hehe, when you’re older, I’ll make you some jewelry too,” Elliot said, tickling the little one.
“Hey, speaking of talent, can I cheat a little and see the jewelry you’re launching next month?” Jayden asked, catching everyone by surprise.
“Huh?”
“You can, but…” Elliot began, making a face.
“Don’t worry, it’s not to steal your idea. I just want to see them because I’ve been given the honor of providing ‘something new‘ for the bride on the wedding day,” Jayden explained.
“Oh… Haha, I see. Sure, come on,” Elliot said, smiling. “But remember, on the day of the event, you have to act surprised when you see the jewelry.”
“That sounds like a fair deal,” Jayden said, standing up.
“While
you check out the jewelry, let me take care of this little guy,” George offered, taking James, who was engrossed with his new toy.
“We’ll be right back, son. Behave with Grandpa,” Deborah said as she stood up to follow them, but…
“You stay here too,” Jayden said, extending his hand in a playful warning.
“Huh? Why?” she asked, frowning slightly.
“Because I want it to be a surprise for you.”
“Boo…”
“Hehe, tough luck, sis. You’ll have to wait,” Elliot teased.
“In that case, come sit with this old man and tell me how things have been going,” George said.

Deborah shook her head with a smile and agreed, turning to sit next to him for a chat.
Meanwhile, Jayden and Elliot headed to the company’s special vault, where the secret designs were kept hidden away from prying eyes.
Once inside, Elliot showed Jayden the completed pieces.
Jayden carefully inspected each one, analyzing them meticulously.
After a while, he picked out the main necklace with a blue diamond.
“Hey Elliot, do you accept modifications?”
“Modifications?”
“Well, I like this one, but I feel like it’s missing a few details to make it perfect for Deborah.”
“Hmm… you might be right,” Elliot said, analyzing the necklace. “Alright, let me grab my tools,” he joked, reaching for his sketchbook and a pencil. “This is the original design, so tell me what you’d like to change.” Jayden began explaining what he wanted to add or remove from the original design.
Once they finished adjusting the design, Elliot called in his appraiser to analyze the cost of the modified piece.
After hearing the cost, Jayden paid for it immediately and made Elliot swear to keep everything a secret so that it would be a surprise.
Curiously, Deborah had a similar idea. She took advantage of her husband’s absence to go to the jewelry department with Mr. George and James to pick out some cufflinks and a tie clip to give Jayden for the ‘wedding.
When they all met back in the hallway, everyone burst into laughter, understanding that each had gone off to buy something special for the other, and now they just had to wait for the big day to exchange their gifts.
