Chapter 466

Chapter 466:

Through Wyatt’s explanation, Amelia learned who Nora truly was.

The Griffiths family kept a very low profile in Kretol, yet none of the four great families dared to underestimate them, mainly because the Griffiths had served in the military for generations.

Nora’s grandmother and Polly had been close friends for decades, and because of that, Wyatt and Nora had known each other since they were young.

Nora had enlisted during university, which explained why Amelia had never heard about her before.

Now, Nora’s hair fell in loose curls down to her waist, and she wore glossy black stilettos. Her whole look radiated allure and elegance, making it hard for Amelia to connect her with the image of a soldier.

“Have you left the army?” Wyatt asked.

At his words, Nora curved her lips into a smile and nodded. Amelia couldn’t tell if her mind was playing tricks on her, but she sensed a faint sadness in that smile.

“I suffered an injury three months ago and couldn’t resume training,” Nora replied. “They offered to transfer me to office work, but you know me — that was never what I wanted. So I chose to leave p>

“Why did you hide your injury from me? Was it serious? When we’re back in Kretol, let Marc run a full exam on you,” Wyatt said.

“No need. The military doctors are on Marc’s level,” Nora answered calmly.

Their conversation paused when the elevator doors slid open.

Listening to their easy, natural back-and-forth, Amelia, who had been standing quietly at Wyatt’s side, felt a small stir of discomfort.

Just then, Nora’s gaze shifted and landed on her.

A flicker of surprise crossed Nora’s eyes as she took in Amelia’s face. She offered a warm smile and extended her hand. “Hello, I’m Nora Griffiths. It’s a pleasure to meet you p>

Amelia took her hand and shook it. “Hello. I’m Amelia, Wyatt’s wife p>

“Wyatt and I grew up together. If you don’t mind, you can call me Nora like he does p>

Nora seemed straightforward and gracious. Taking the hint, Amelia adjusted the way she addressed her.

“I’ve been stationed with the army all this time and had no idea you got married. Now that I’ve met Amelia, I finally understand why you chose to get married,” Nora said to Wyatt.

As she spoke, she pulled a small gift box from her handbag.

Handing it to Amelia, she said, “This is a wedding present for both of you. I hope you’ll like it p>

Amelia lifted the lid and found a refined pair of earrings alongside a set of cufflinks.

The designs mirrored each other — clearly a matching pair.

Spotting the cufflinks, Amelia’s gaze dropped to the silver pair on Wyatt’s sleeves.

Those were the ones she had given him as a gift.

But the cufflinks from Nora were worth far more than hers.

Both the earrings and the cufflinks were set with extremely rare black diamonds. Each piece on its own could easily go for hundreds of millions at auction.

“This present is much too expensive. I really shouldn’t—” Amelia began.

“It’s fine. Just accept it p>

Before Nora could say anything, Wyatt cut in.
