CHAPTER 399: CHAPTER 407: LOVE IN THE CLOUDS (8)

The crystal light gleamed, transforming the spacious living room into a sea of roses.

She couldn’t count them all; wherever her eyes landed was filled with pink and white roses, occasionally dotted with striking reds, romantic and cozy, like a fairytale world.

Right in the center stood a Christmas tree.

Not the oversized fake pine trees seen at the entrances of malls during the holiday, but an actual tree.

A pine tree that was at least three meters tall.

Vividly green and lush.

Thin strings of lights encircled it, sparkling brightly.

Within the glow—

The decorative little stars seemed to wink at her, and the colorful small gift boxes seemed to wave to her.

It was only then that Mia Ginger realized all the flowers filling the hall were real.

Except—

Are there any roses at this time of year?

She glanced up at Koa Jackson in confusion, wanting to ask something, but found herself speechless.

Her Brother Jackson was standing right before her.

Within reach.

To her, this was already the best gift.

A single him could satisfy all her expectations for her future life.

Mia Ginger reached out and hugged him.

Koa Jackson smiled, raised his hand to stroke her hair, and said softly, "Do you like it?"

"Yes." Mia nodded randomly.

"Come with me."

Koa Jackson took her hand and led her to the center of the hall, looked up, and said, "Your gift is inside the Christmas hat at the top of the tree."

That high?

Mia Ginger gave him a strange look.

Koa Jackson reached for a long pole meant for picking gifts and handed it to her.

Mia reached out and took it.

He then wrapped both his hands around hers, carefully retrieving the bright red Christmas hat.

Mia Ginger reached inside, probing all the way to the bottom, and hooked out a necklace.

The slender, exquisite platinum chain had a hollow, lightweight five-pointed star hanging from it, with rose-colored diamonds inlaid at each of the five points, sparkling brightly in the brilliant light.

Under the expanse of light, it was just the two of them, very quiet.

Koa Jackson removed her knitted hat, leaned down to put the necklace on her, and then placed the red Christmas hat onto her head.

He looked at her and smiled.

"Thank you." Mia Ginger was instead a little embarrassed, said quietly, "I just gave you a scarf."

She had never celebrated Christmas before.

Back in school, at most, classmates and friends exchanged apples or cards.

As she grew older, it was just stuffed toys.

Marianne Jackson had mentioned that Koa Jackson rarely went shopping; even if she wanted to buy something, she felt that no matter how much she spent, the gift wouldn’t be presentable.

Quite conflicted.

Now, facing him, she regretted a bit.

Feeling slightly awkward.

Koa Jackson just smiled lightly, "That’s fine."

Mia Ginger looked up at him, suddenly recalling another gift she had prepared, her face turning red.

Right.

She intended to give herself to Koa Jackson.

Holding this thought in her mind, she became quite distracted.

Even during dinner and bathing, she was repeatedly lost in thought.

Finally, she waited until eleven-thirty.

In her room, she changed into Koa Jackson’s white shirt, sat still for a while, clutched a hot little package, and headed to Koa Jackson’s room.

The sound of water came from the bathroom.

He was still showering.

Mia Ginger hid the item she held under the bedsheet and lay on her side.
