Chapter 175: Best Gift

Nora sat back and watched in amusement, her eyes glittering with amusement as the four brothers each bickered and debated about whose gift was the best. It had reached a point where they were all ready to open their gifts themselves instead of waiting for her.

Behind them, the party was in full swing with loud upbeat music making everyone let go and enjoy. Isabella had totally thrown herself into throwing a party for her, inviting almost everyone to the party. Nora shook her head. She did not even know half of these people who were dancing.

"Break it up kiddos. Just give her your gifts and stop acting like babies who want to be praised. You’re here for the party."

Ian rolled his eyes at Erasmi and spoke," That’s because your gift must be as boring as you Erasmi and you don’t want to be ashamed. But we’ve bought fun gifts!"

Erasmi straightened his back and snapped back, " You are the one who bought a boring gift! Mine is unique and naturally Nora is going to love it so I have nothing to prove!"

Nora, looked at Erasmi in surprise. Did these guys have no limit to their competitiveness? Just now, he was lecturing them to not look for praise but the moment they said something against him, he was ready to jump in. Shaking her head, Nora finally spoke," Fine fine! I can see all your gift boxes so don’t tell me who brought what. I’ll open them and tell them which one I love the most. I’ll even try to guess who got what."

Satisfied, the brothers all nodded and quickly made themselves scarce. They had not forgotten their original goal for being here... There were so many beautiful girls... Thankfully, Nora’s friend had kept the party away from the college so there were older-young ladies as well. That is older than nineteen or twenty. Even though their brother had stolen a kiddo, they were not going to do the same.

Nora watched as the brothers soon disappeared into the crowd, dancing with the many female who approached them. She could not help but shake her head. They were all too handsome and charming. She’d noticed every woman in the club glancing their way and then staring daggers at her. It was her birthday and she could still feel her life almost shortening by a span.

As they went, Nora rubbed her hands and looked at the four boxes placed on the table thoughtfully.

Erasmi noticed her expression and could not help but ask, "Do you think you can really guess who has brought what gift?"

"Of course. You want to bet?"

Erasmi looked at the girl thoughtfully and nodded," Sure. I’ll bet. So which one do you want to open first?"

Nora pointed to the smallest box placed on the table and thanked Erasmin when he passed it to her. "Let’s see then."

Nora opened the gift carefully, placing the wrapping paper to the side and opened the box and took out the gift. She laughed at that and was about to place the piece back into the box when Erasmi spoke incredulously," One of these morons gave you socks as a gift?"

Nora grinned and showed the pair of customized socks to Erasmi. It was a caricature of Demon with horns on his head and a quote that read," My Queen. Your Demon is here to keep you warm."

Erasmi made a face at that. The gift would have been funnier if the caricature had not looked like him. That was another disadvantage of having Demon as a brother. Whoever had made this gift deserved a good beating.

"So, who do you think has given it?" Erasmi asked.

"It was Gabe, of course." Erasmi raised an eyebrow at that. Are you sure?"

"Uh-huh. I am very sure. Ask him."

Taking out his phone, Erasmi quickly messaged Gabe questioning him and sighed when the man actually replied," Socks. So she can watch all over him"

Nora looked at Erasmi smugly and then picked up a bigger but leaner box while Erasmi quickly messaged the others what they had given. Instead of some fancy packaging, the gift was a mishmash of newspapers.

"I can already tell you that this is from Lucien."

"Lucy? That boy is so meticulous. You have to be wrong."

Nora shook her head, "Uh-huh. He is meticulous because of all those numbers he has to crunch. And also because of that he would not have given much thought to the wrapping."

She looked at the mug inside and grinned. It announced that she was the world’s ’okayest’ waitress... On the mug was a picture of her and Lucas when she had started working at the cafe. She showed the picture to Erasmi, raising an eyebrow.

He raised his hands in surrender and watched as she quickly moved onto the third box. But inside he was thinking carefully. She really did understand his brothers well. Demon had chosen well. He’d been apprehensive about her but he shouldn’t have been, he realized. Demetri had keen eyes to differentiate between right and wrong even all those years ago.

Nora could only stare at the next gift with wonderment. She was genuinely confused if it was Ian or Seb who could have given this. Erasmi leaned over to peak at the gift and laughed out loud. "I don’t know if they like you more or hate Demon more. Who do you think has given you this wonderful toaster which will imprint Demon’s face on your toast for you to devour?"

Nora grimaced at the customized toaster and made a guess," I think it has to be Seb..."

"Seb and not Ian?"

"Uh huh. He would not dare to give me something that I can use against him... If I have to eat Demetri why would I do it on a toast when I can do it directly..."

By the time Erasmi even understood the very naughty meaning of the words, he could only cough! No wonder Ian had given her a simple gift if she was teasing him with such jokes...

"You are right again, ma’am! This is indeed a gift from Seb..."

"So what did Ian get me?"

Nora finally picked up the biggest box placed on the table and opened it carefully. It was a virtual reality headset... with a note that said," For when you miss family."

Slowly, Nora put on the virtual headset and turned it on... It was indeed family. Ian Frost had somehow obtained pictures of them all and created them into some virtual reality home...

Erasmi smiled as he saw the winner of the best gift. The thought that each of them had put into bringing the gifts showed how much they cared for her.

As such, Erasmi could not help but ask," Nora, are you still going to divorce Demetri when your contract comes to an end?"
