Buddha. The lotus flower starts out in the murk, but it rises and blooms above it, so it stands for purification. The mud is suffering.

The Buddha is born into a world of suffering, but isn’t bothered by it.

And let’s not forget rebirth. The flower also means that. After a person dies, they are reborn in another body.”

It sounded Like the meaning of the Lotus flower was profound.

Debbie closed the box and handed it back to Damon.

“This is too much. I can’t take it. Give it to Adriana.”

Damon pursed his lips.

“Curtis makes it sound really impressive. But you can’t give it back. Besides, Adriana already has a ton of jewelry.

Next time you two are together you can compare.”

After saying that, he sat back in his seat.

Having received such a valuable gift, Debbie looked uneasy. Carlos comforted her, “He was generous enough to buy it for you, what are you worried about?”

“It must have cost him a Lot. How could anyone afford that? He can’t be that calm about it,” she said. The stone was priceless. It must have pained Damon to part with that kind of cash.

Carlos smiled.

“If he didn’t want to pay for it, he would have kept it for himself.”

“Do rich people always buy such expensive gifts?” she asked Carlos quietly.

“Several years ago, Uncle Curtis bought me a house. Now Damon has bought me an invaluable jade object. And you have bought me tons of expensive gifts. Should I get used to it?”

“Yes. And I’ve spent a Lot on Damon, too.”

“Oh, okay then.” Carlos’ words reassured her.

She decided to accept the gemstone and buy Damon’s kids two gifts someday .

The dinner, on the other hand, was fantastic. Everyone got along well…okay, maybe not Damon and Jared. Debbie couldn’t stop giggling when she heard the two trading insults.

If he could, Carlos would have taken the brothers home to keep Debbie happy.

When Colleen heard the group was already there, she rushed over and the place became livelier. Once there, she sat next to Debbie and placed her hand over her belly to feel the baby. No one could get her to leave

Debbie alone.

Carlos stared daggers at her to show her his unhappiness.

“I’m your aunt. I’m concerned about the baby,” she said to him defensively.
