Bab 551: Venedikt Gets Kidnapped (II)

Alex and Andrei stood near the mall's entrance. On one side, a giant white teddy bear and a basket full of rare chocolates and candies rested, and on their other side, a beautiful black dress adorned with white beads, resembling a night sky dotted with stars, was hanging inside a glass display.

"It looks like Venedikt is searching for something special once again to earn brownie points with little Sophie," Andrei said, glancing at his teddy bear and basket of chocolates as if reconsidering his gift choices.

"Yeah, he always goes the extra mile for her. It's like a competition at this point," Alex said with a slight chuckle.

"Maybe I should have picked something more unique," Andrei mused, his eyes flicking back to the teddy bear.

"Trust me, she will love it," Alex said, not wanting to start a gift war between his brothers.

"What is taking him so long?" Andrei asked after a moment of silence, but quickly, his expression turned grim.
