Chapter 1694
"It's worth it because this is the first birthday celebration in your life." Jared smiled.
Then, he took the necklace out and put it on for Nicole.
Nicole felt very touched. She bowed her head and accepted the gift.
The weighty necklace fell between her collarbones, and Nicole felt so touched that she did not know how to react.
All she could do was indulge herself in her family's companionship and her lover's gift.
That was the warmest day that she had ever had in her life, so much so that it felt like a dream.
"Thank you..." Nicole thanked him softly.
As of now, the feistiness she had was finally gone. She was so gentle that she looked just like another girl.
Seeing that, Samuel and Spencer immediately said, "Oh well. After seeing Mr. Johnston had gifted you, we're too
embarrassed to give you what we've gotten you now..."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNicole looked at him. "Don't say that. What did you get for me?"
She had everything she needed. She only asked that because she did not want to disappoint her brothers.
Samuel immediately took a box out after hearing what
Nicole had said.
"Here! This is the latest gaming console. We can play it together during the holidays."
Even though it was an expensive gift, Spencer gave him a disdainful look after seeing that.
"Samuel, how old are you? A console? You actually splurged on this thing?" he asked.
In retrospect, he should not have trusted Samuel, and he regretted not going out to choose Nicole's gift with him.
Samuel was surprised after seeing how disappointed Spencer was. "What's wrong with it?"
Even though Nicole knew that she would not have a lot of time to play it, she smiled and took it from Samuel
anyway." Thank you, Samuel. I love it. I've never played anything like this. I'll give it a try someday."
Samuel felt very proud after hearing what Nicole had said.
Then, he lifted his chin and said to Spencer, "Look, it's not as bad as youthink it is."
Spencer ignored him because he knew Nicole had only said those words because she did not want to hurt his
feelings.
After that, he took his present out, with, Stanley, Steve, and Sean following suit.
All of them had prepared something very expensive, and seeing that, both Tia and Mrs. Wallace Sr. were shocked.
Tia hesitated for some time before she took a tiny box out."
Miss Nicole, I don't have a lot of money, so I personally made a bracelet for you..."
Nicole looked at Tia's gift and mustered a polite, "Thank you. N
Mrs. Wallace Sr. also handed Nicole a sweater that she had knitted for her. "My eyesight's getting worse, so I can't
knit as well as I could before anymore. Nicole, I hope you'd still like it."
"Of course, I will. Thanks, grandma," Nicole said with a smile before hugging her.
Tears welled up in Gloria's eyes when she saw everyone else giving Nicole their blessings.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThen, she exchanged a glance with Jared before she said," Nicole, we know you have everything you need, so
we've prepared something very unique for you."
Then, the butler came over while pushing another cart topped with heaps of cardboard boxes on it.
Gloria went to one of the boxes and took a dress out of it. It looked unworn and in good condition. However, it was a
little out of style.
Gloria looked at the dress and wept, "These are all the gifts that I've been preparing for you every year on your
birthday since I lost you. I planned to give them all to you on the day I could finally see you again to tell you that
you've always been in my heart..."
Perhaps it had something to do with the connection
between a mother and her child. Even though she was with Norah, she had never shown Norah anything in those
boxes.
That was the very first time Gloria had taken them out with guilt, and it was because Nicole could finally spend a
birthday with her.
Seeing Gloria's teary eyes, Nicole was extremely moved.
