Chapter 1016
"Is this Lanny's painting?" Celine asked, somewhat incredulously.
In fact, the Percy Family had considerable prestige in Lisbun, and given Celine's status, she wasn't lacking in any way.
She had wanted to buy this painting for over a year but hadn't been able to.
The moment Alexander nodded, she once again felt the disparity between the Percy Family and the Tudor family.
If we set aside the matter of Alexander letting Elizabeth down, Elizabeth's taste was actually quite good.
"This is indeed Lanny's painting. I personally bought it from Lanny's assistant. It's absolutely authentic," Alexander nodded, his demeanor gentle and emotions very stable.
Celine had expected Alexander to give her something she liked, but she hadn't anticipated that he would directly gift her Lanny's "Landscape"!
Celine couldn't help but stand up.
She walked over to Alexander.
This "Landscape" painting was so large that Alexander couldn't stretch his arms wide enough to hold it.
"It's beautiful, really beautiful," Celine said to Alexander.
Alexander nodded, "Lanny's assistant praised your taste. This painting has great collectible value."
"All of Lanny's paintings have great collectible value," Celine was overjoyed.
Indeed, women were emotional beings.
"Grandma, do you like it?" Elizabeth asked Celine cautiously.
Celine blurted out, "Of course, don't you like it?"
"Alright, alright, as long as you like it," Elizabeth smiled with squinted eyes.
"Elizabeth, I also bought you a gift," Alexander suddenly said to Elizabeth.
Elizabeth blinked, what?
She had a gift too?
He had already given her many gifts this year.
Alexander nodded.
He picked up another box and said, "Didn't you really like that music box? Although you said one was precious enough, I thought girls still like to collect things."
"So I bought you the entire series. I also had a display cabinet custom-made for you, so you can set it up like in a store. It will look great."
Elizabeth listened quietly to him.
These were things she wanted and could afford to buy.
But if someone set everything up for you because of an offhand comment, fulfilling your small desires, it really made you happy.
These music boxes were indeed beautiful, each one featuring a little princess dancing gracefully inside.
Elizabeth casually picked one up; it was pink. Snowflakes floated inside, and the little princess held snow in her hands, creating a very picturesque scene.
"Thank you, I really like it," Elizabeth said softly.
Alexander couldn't help but touch her hair and sat down beside her.
Seeing the two of them so harmonious, Celine couldn't help but feel emotional.
If only it had been like this from the start!
"It's just, I didn't know Charles and Natalia would be here. Otherwise, I would have prepared gifts for them too," Alexander looked towards the door.
Elizabeth said, "It's okay." After all, Natalia really disliked Alexander.
Although Natalia had always been against Elizabeth, when it came to Elizabeth and Alexander's relationship, Natalia was firmly against Alexander, just like Lila.
"I'll accept this gift, thank you," Elizabeth closed the box.
Alexander nodded and then looked at Celine.
Celine sighed, "I'll accept this gift too. I can't help it; call me materialistic. I really can't refuse this painting."
