Chapter 52 Gabriella Stone

• On Sunday morning, the Evans family went to church to thank the Lord for His faithfulness in their lives. Pastor Basil was over the moon when he saw Avery and said, "Congratulations my beautiful granddaughter. My heart swelled with pride when I saw you taking the first spot in the Mathematics Olympiad Competition." Avery smiled brightly and replied, "Thank you Grandpa, I think I took after my intelligent Grandpa."
• Grandpa Basil was grinning from ear to ear when he heard Avery's words and said, "You have a silver tongue, my dearest Avery. Someone whispered to my ear that you will come to church today and I have prepared a gift for you." He took a velvet box from his suit jacket and handed it to Avery.
• Avery smiled brightly at her grandfather and opened an exquisite velvet box. Sitting on the velvet box was a platinum wedding band. Avery looked at Grandpa Basil with a confused expression. Grandpa Basil replied smiling, "My dearest Avery, this is your future husband's wedding band. Please give this ring to him when he proposed to you." Avery thanked Grandpa Basil, and then she walked to Aunt Bridgette who was standing not far from them.
