"Yes, a gift."
Oliver Hughes looked at Bella Woods and said, "My mother said that if we are going to acknowledge this daughter, then the proper etiquette must be observed."
"Indeed, Oliver was worried the formalities might be lacking, so he specifically invited Third Young Master, as an elder, to come over," Jade Patel quickly added.
Her gaze shifted from Oliver Hughes to Ashton Marshall, afraid to look too much at Ashton, finally fixing her eyes intently on Bella Woods.
That kind of gaze was something Bella Woods had not felt before, nor had she seen Jade Patel look at Rose Woods in such a way, making Bella feel quite uncomfortable.
She felt a bit creeped out.
"Yes, originally my uncle was supposed to travel on business, but I specifically asked him to accompany me here." Oliver Hughes was quite proud of this.
For him, having an uncle like Ashton Marshall, and considering this uncle had taken good care of him since childhood, was something he was very proud of.
