HP: Becoming a Maiden Heartthrob

Chapter 182 A Genius in Choosing Gifts

"Auntie, how about you go and rest, and I'll cook this meal?"

Under the influence of these words, when Mrs. Ende came out of the kitchen, she was not so dissatisfied when she saw Nalilian sitting on the sofa, watching TV and picking vegetables. Because her attention was on the TV, she threw the picked vegetables on the table.

After all, her worries about whether Lillian (Na Lillian:?), who was useless under Kerston's care, would be able to find a good family to marry in the future, all disappeared with the arrival of Cedric.

He is good-looking, has a good personality, can cook and take care of children (Na Lilian:??), where can I find such a good son-in-law.

Mrs. Ender sat down, and looking at the busy and upright figure of the young man in the kitchen, she could not think of anything more satisfying than satisfaction.

When Cedric had laid out all the dishes and the three of them sat down to eat, Mrs. Ender tasted the food that Cedric had cooked and realized what was even more satisfying than satisfaction.

perfect.

How could this boy make fried shrimp and barbecued ribs so delicious?

She held her face in her hands and commented with emotion, "Raising Lillian was indeed not in vain."

It’s really worth it to bring back such a perfect son-in-law.

Nalilian, who was eating grilled ribs: ???

What is mom talking about? Isn't she eating? Why is she involved?

Cedric, who was removing fish bones from Nalilian, smiled and replied, "Lillian is still very well behaved."

"What do you mean by 'good boy'?" Mrs. Ende smiled and shook her head. "If my daughter were half as sensible as you, I wouldn't have to worry so much."

"Come on, eat more shrimp and leave her alone."

She pushed the shrimp balls that Cedric had specially placed in front of Narilian from in front of Narilian to in front of Cedric.

Nalilian: ???

No, mom, who is the biological child?

After dinner, no matter how Mrs. Ende tried to keep him, Cedric said goodbye and left.

"I need to go home, Aunt," he politely declined, "Also, Lillian is still unmarried, so it's not appropriate for me to stay here."

He looked at Nalilian tenderly as she said goodbye to him and went to watch TV on the sofa.

Mrs. Ende could only bid farewell to her future son-in-law with regret and satisfaction.

Early the next morning, someone came to visit. Mrs. Ende opened the door and was surprised to find that it was her future son-in-law.

"Ced, why are you here?" Mrs. Ende shouted in surprise. Through his hard work yesterday, Cedric successfully got Mrs. Ende to call him that.

Cedric smiled and replied, "I'm here to pick up Nalilian to buy Christmas gifts."

Mrs. Ende showed a relieved expression and nodded, "Come in and sit down. Lillian is still sleeping. I'll go call her."

Then she picked up the broom beside her and went upstairs to look for Nalilian, who had stayed up late watching TV the previous night and was now lying in bed.

After being forced to get up, Nalilian went to wash up, and Mrs. Ende changed her into a light gray coat with a lambskin collar, tied a matching ribbon, and put on a beret.

"Lillian is so beautiful," Mrs. Ende said, looking at her elegant and quiet daughter in the mirror, tears welling up in her eyes, "like a movie heroine."

"Mom," Nalilian said, instantly breaking the mother filter. Her expression was slightly disgusted. "You make it seem like I'm getting married."

"Lillian," Mrs. Ender said, smoothing her collar, "it will come to pass someday."

Nalilian leaned against her shoulder and did not answer.

After Cedric picked up Nalilian, they said goodbye to Mrs. Ender and took a taxi to the gift shop.

In the car, Cedric took out a long list and a quill and handed it to her, "Lillian, this is your gift list from last year. See if there are any friends who need to be added."

For example, he doesn't know some of the new wizards very well, but Lillian seems to be very popular among the lower-grade wizards. I wonder who else she wants to send.

Nalilian took the list and sighed. This list must have been given to Seth by Kerston.

She looked through it and found nothing to add, and she didn't meet any new friends.

But she remembered that before she left Hogwarts, Pansy tentatively asked her what type of gem she liked, so she casually added a name - Pan Jinlian.

Just buy her a gift so that she won’t ask her again later.

The car soon arrived at the gift shop. After getting off the car, Nalilian was led into the store by Cedric. She browsed the items on the cabinet out of boredom, taking down almost everything she liked. They were not expensive anyway, but she soon discovered that Cedric seemed to like this place very much.

Although he didn't show it, he was looking and touching everything, but he didn't put anything in the shopping basket.

Nalilian's attention was focused on him. Whenever Seth reached out and touched something, or his eyes lingered on something, she would take one and put it in the shopping basket.

When they walked to the counter to check out, Cedric was surprised to find that the items in the shopping cart were very familiar. Nalilian looked at his surprised expression and felt an inexplicable sense of pride.

She finally understood why the king was so keen on spending money on beautiful women.

Really good.

"But Lillian," Cedric realized that she might be paying attention to him while choosing the products. His ears felt slightly hot, and he picked up a thumb piano calendar from the shopping basket with a helpless look on his face. "Why are you buying a calendar?"

Nalilian was stunned. She just picked up something without even looking at it, and actually picked up a calendar.

This year is almost over and this is no different from waste paper.

However, she found that this thing was a perfect gift for Pansy because Pansy would never show it off.

Nalilian couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, "Sed, you are such a genius at choosing gifts!"

Cedric: “…”

Did she understand what he said?

Cedric smiled helplessly, put the calendar back into the shopping basket and went to check out for her, which stopped Nalilian who was about to take out her thick pocket money from her clothes.

She had forgotten that Seth was her boyfriend.

No, where did he get the pounds?

Did Sede make the change in advance? Or was it given by Kerston?

If that's the case, he really has it all covered.

Nalilian spat at Kerston and put away the money, then her attention was attracted by the small Ferris wheel in the gift shop window and she ran over to take a look.

Cedric was checking the gift list at the cashier counter. After paying, he received a receipt with a string of numbers on it. The cashier gave him a charming smile.

"It must be tiring to take care of a girl like that?" she said.

Cedric smiled, tore up the receipt in front of her and placed it on the counter, whispering, "Ma'am, please don't make me complain to your boss."

Regardless of the other person's expression, he picked up the shopping bag and took the hand of Nalilian, who was standing in front of the window looking at the Ferris wheel curiously, and left.
