Chapter 845:
Yelena didn’t want to lie to Maggie. She was an honest person and didn’t want to go against her principles.
Yelena looked directly at Maggie and said, “Actually, I didn’t know you liked Fragrance Haven perfume, so I didn’t prepare anything. I also didn’t know you were leaving p>
Maggie wasn’t upset. Instead, she smiled, having already guessed as much.
Yelena paused for a moment before continuing, “But when I found out you liked Fragrance Haven, I was delighted. I know I have so much to share with you now. This bottle will surely amaze you p>
“Really?” Maggie eagerly opened the box, revealing the perfume inside. Monica stole a quick glance at the bottle. It looked old, like something from decades ago. What was so special about it?
However, the moment Maggie laid eyes on the perfume bottle, her expression shifted dramatically. Her hands trembled uncontrollably, and she was utterly speechless. Tears suddenly welled up in Maggie’s eyes.
When Maggie suddenly burst into tears, both Yelena and Monica were completely stunned.
Monica shot Yelena a displeased look and demanded, “What did you do? How did you make Mrs. Barton cry p>
Yelena gently patted Maggie’s back to calm her, with no intention of answering Monica.
Worried that Yelena might misinterpret her tears and feel uneasy, Maggie took a few deep breaths to calm herself.
Once calm, Maggie addressed Monica, saying, “It wasn’t Yelena’s fault. I was just really touched p>

Maggie gestured towards the perfume Yelena had given her, her voice filled with enthusiasm as she explained to Monica, “Do you know? This perfume is no longer in production, and it was the first one I received from Austin’s father. I’ve always loved it, but I only used it on very special occasions. The day I found out about his accident, I was so shaken that I dropped the perfume, and it shattered. I thought it was gone forever, just like him, but I never imagined p>
Maggie tightly held Yelena’s hand, gratefully saying, “Yelena, thank you. This is the best gift I’ve gotten this year p>
Yelena responded, “You’re welcome p>
Monica watched Yelena closely, as though trying to see through her motives.
Frustrated, Monica asked Yelena, “You must have had quite a difficult time finding this perfume, didn’t you p>
Yelena saw that Monica was trying to turn this lucky discovery into an intentional move on Yelena’s part to win a favor, casting her as manipulative.
Yelena replied generously, “What do you think? It’s a discontinued perfume—of course, it wasn’t easy to find. If I said it was simple, you wouldn’t believe me anyway. But I didn’t try to find this perfume specifically for Mrs. Barton. I also love Fragrance Haven and have kept this bottle for a long time. I thought it would match her style well, so I decided to give it to her. Is there an issue with that p>
Monica was so furious that she almost bit her tongue. If she pointed out a problem, wouldn’t it mean that Yelena was wrong and the perfume didn’t match Maggie’s character?
Maggie, still deeply touched by Yelena’s gesture, had not fully regained her composure.
