Unrivalled God of War

Chapter 125

Looking at Benson, Leah knew her husband didn’t prepare a gift for her. She couldn’t hide the disappointment in her eyes.

Truthfully, Leah wasn’t expecting him to give her anything remarkable, but it had been such a long time since she received anything from her husband.

She would’ve been content even with a cheap bottle of perfume or a plain dress.

And yet, he didn’t prepare anything for her.

Benson may have been an honest man, but he wasn’t dumb. He could see the disappointment in his wife’s eyes.

He regretted it so much that he wished he could magically conjure a present up for his wife.

Right then, Nathan, who was sitting next to him, discreetly handed him a small box under the table.

Benson felt surprised at first, which then morphed to exuberance.

What a thoughtful son-in-law! Nathan knew how absent-minded he was so he even helped him prepare a gift beforehand.

Benson shot him a look of gratitude, and carefully reached for the box.

He then looked at his wife with a big grin. “Hehe. Your present is here, my dear. I nearly forgot to give it to you!”

Leah’s eyes sparkled. “What is it?” she asked excitedly.

Benson of course didn’t know, so he feigned an air of mystery when giving the box to Leah. “Why don’t you open it.”

Leah opened the box and was shocked to find a ruby necklace placed inside.

The chain itself was platinum, whereas the ruby stone weighed around seventy carats.

Leah couldn’t help but gasp in awe. “It’s beautiful!”

She took out the necklace and looked at the ruby, it was immensely huge.

Women were usually attuned to the prices of jewelry. They would pay attention to them even if they couldn’t afford it.

This was the same theory as men not being able to afford sports cars but always knew how much each one costs.

Leah’s first thought was that this seventy-carat ruby would cost well over a hundred million.

But her husband only had an allowance of one thousand each month. How could he possibly afford such an extravagant gift?

And thus she came to the conclusion that while the platinum chain was real, the humongous ruby stone was certainly a knock-off.

But she was still very touched by Benson’s actions. “Dear, I know this ruby isn’t real, but this platinum chain itself must have cost you a lot, doesn’t it? I really love it. Thank you!”

She leaned over and gave Benson a kiss.

When Benson saw the ruby necklace, his mouth fell wide open too. He was actually relieved when he heard his wife saying that the ruby was a fake.

He beamed after receiving a kiss from his wife and wiggled his eyebrows at Nathan to express his gratitude.

From where she was sitting, Leah couldn’t see how Nathan had passed the gift to Benson.

But Penny, who was sitting right next to Nathan saw everything.

She kicked Nathan lightly under the table and scrunched her nose at him. “You’re such a bad influence on my dad!” Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Nathan chuckled and lowered his voice. “That’s not true! Look at how much in love your parents are. It’s a good thing.”

Right then, the sounds of sirens cut through the night.

Two black SUVs roared into the scene and parked in front of Hearthstone Restaurant.

The two vehicles belonged to none other than Incandescent Security Services.

The vehicles they used looked similar to those used by special police forces and immediately attracted the attention of passersby and the patrons of the restaurant.

The passerby then saw a towering Jackson Quelch jumped out of the car and led five other men into the restaurant.
