Chapter 843:
This time, Yelena had put herself in a difficult position, and Monica was prepared to watch the consequences unfold.
Maggie interrupted, “Yeah, I really appreciate this surprise p>
Yelena frowned. She hadn’t bought perfume for Maggie, and with Monica stirring the pot, Maggie was eager to open the box. When she saw what was actually inside, she would be deeply disappointed. Yelena quickly placed her hand on Maggie’s and confessed, “Mrs. Barton, I’m sorry, but this isn’t perfume p>
“Ah?” Maggie’s eyes revealed her disappointment, but she quickly hid it. “Oh, this box does seem quite large. My mistake,” she said.
An uncomfortable silence filled the room.
Monica felt a surge of satisfaction, believing that Yelena had brought this upon herself.
Yelena turned to Maggie. “I grabbed the wrong box, and the perfume is still at my place. I’ll go get it for you right away p>
“Oh, there’s no need. Let’s just enjoy the pastries for now p>
Maggie realized that she and Monica might have misunderstood. Yelena hadn’t planned to give her a perfume after all. Maggie tried to brush it off, but deep inside, she still felt a bit disappointed.
A lingering feeling tugged at Maggie’s heart, leaving her with the unsettling sense that she might have been a bit presumptuous.
Yelena said, “Hold on a second. I’ll go get the perfume right away p>
Monica glanced at Yelena, her eyes silently conveying that it was beyond repair.

Yelena arched an eyebrow at Monica before turning on her heel, heading back.
Monica watched Yelena’s retreating figure with a spark of glee in her eyes. This was fun, and she could hardly contain her excitement.
When Yelena returned, her eyes landed on the unopened box of teabags she had given Donna. Without hesitation, she said, “I’ll be taking this p>
After that, she rushed upstairs, only to return moments later with the same box in hand. She barely spared a second for her family before saying, “I’ll be right out,” then darted off again.
Watching Yelena rush off, Donna couldn’t help but murmur, “What’s gotten into her p>
Monica stood frozen for a moment, surprised by how quickly Yelena had returned, still trying to process it.
Despite her swift movements, Yelena remained composed, not even the slightest bit out of breath. How could that be?
“Mrs. Barton, this is for you p>
At that point, Maggie had regained her composure, gladly accepting the identical box that Yelena handed her.
Maggie chuckled. “No wonder you mixed them up—these boxes look exactly the same p>
Yelena nodded. “Yeah, I mixed them up because they’re pretty much identical p>
Monica stared at the box in Maggie’s hand, her brows furrowing slightly. Could Yelena’s explanation really be the truth? No! Monica refused to believe it!
Monica chimed in, “Let’s see it, Mrs. Barton! I’m really curious about the perfume Yelena gave you p>
