My Unborn Baby Chose My Husband for Me novel Chapter 251

Seraphina Simmons saw Melody Monroe's provocative look and knew she was up to no good.

But since she was here, she would make the best of it.

Seraphina stood up and handed over her brocade box. "Elder Harrison, this is a small token of my appreciation. I wish you a very happy birthday and a long, healthy life."

Elder Harrison took the box, opened it, and froze.

Inside was a Centuries-old Wild Ginseng Root of exceptional quality, with intact roots and a plump body, clearly a top-tier item of great age.

"This... this is too valuable," Elder Harrison quickly declined. "Ms. Simmons, you already saved my life. How can I accept your gift?"

"Please, don't be so polite, Elder Harrison," Seraphina smiled, pushing the box back. "I came across this ginseng by chance, and it was just sitting at home. It's perfect for your recovery. If you don't take it, I'll feel bad."

Mrs. Beatrice Harrison chimed in, "Dear, Ms. Simmons is being so sincere. Just accept it."

Elder Harrison hesitated, then finally accepted it, his eyes reddening again. "Ms. Simmons, you have such a kind heart..."

"You're too polite, Elder Harrison. Just call me Seraphina," she said with a smile.

"Alright. From now on, you are an esteemed guest of mine. If you ever need any help, I won't hesitate to step up."

Elder Harrison's voice was a bit emotional.

Gillian Harrison gently patted her father's back and took over with a smile. "Dad, don't get too worked up. Seraphina is our family's savior. We'll just stay in close touch from now on."

"Yes, yes, stay in touch," Elder Harrison nodded repeatedly.

Melody Monroe stood to the side, her smile a bit stiff.

Gillian was incredibly tactful, offending no one and smoothing over the tension with just a few words.

Tiffany secretly admired her. She pulled Seraphina to sit on the chairs nearby and muttered, "Look at Gillian, and then look at Melody. They're both socialites, but the difference is huge."

Seraphina took a sip of her water and chuckled softly. "Keep your voice down. It's Elder Harrison's birthday banquet. Let's not make things unpleasant."

"I just can't be bothered to argue with her," Tiffany curled her lips. "I just can't stand her arrogant attitude, acting like she's the most precious thing in the world."

Little Bean rolled over in her belly and said in a sweet, milky voice, "Mommy, Auntie Tiffany seems really mad."

Seraphina couldn't help but curve her lips, responding in her mind, "Auntie Tiffany is just being loyal."

Little Bean let out a soft 'oh' and yawned. "Mommy, this old gentleman's house smells so good. What is that scent?"
