If Adam hadn’t gone to Nocalo back then, if he had valued Lumma enough, they wouldn’t be in this situation now. Lumma was within arm’s reach, right there for him to embrace, yet he couldn’t hold her in his arms.
“Adam, Adam…” Judy’s urgent call snapped Adam back to reality from his reverie. “It’s almost midnight back home, and you haven’t given us any gifts yet.”
She excitedly waved the gift box in her hand. “Adam, Laura has already given us gifts. As the leader of Hills Group, you should also give us gifts.”
Adam indeed hadn’t prepared anything. In previous years, he was either working or spending the holiday with Catherine. Celebrating with Catherine meant she took care of preparing gifts for their younger relatives.
He glanced at everyone, his gaze finally falling on Lumma. She had also received Laura’s gift, a look of joy on her face.
A single gift could make Lumma happy, and of course, he wanted to make her even happier. But he regretfully said, “I haven’t prepared anything.”
“I knew you hadn’t prepared, so I did it for you.” Judy took out a few gift bags from her bag. The gift bags are ready for you. Don’t tell me you don’t have any cash on you.”
“Just wait a moment.” Adam stood up and walked elegantly upstairs. When he came back downstairs, the gift bags in his hands were no longer empty. They visibly bulged with contents.
Judy was the first to rush forward. “Adam, Merry Christmas! I wish you and your wife a sweet and blissful life, and I hope you’ll give me a nephew or niece soon.”
Adam playfully tapped her head with a gift bag. Adam playfully tapped her head with a gift bag. “That’s up to her. Let’s not joke about these things.”
