My Husband Wants Me Dead (Esther and Bradley) novel Chapter 828

"Coming, Grandma Foster!" Esther rushed down the stairs, carrying a gift box. She wondered if Jacob would like the gift she had chosen for him.

"He will, as long as it's from you," Agatha assured.

Today was Jacob's birthday. Esther had received an invitation from Xara and prepared the gift in advance.

Sweet Town was nearby, and an hour's drive brought Agatha and Esther to the Sandersons' house. The place was festively decorated, filled with joy, as they celebrated Jacob's 10th birthday, a special day for Steffan.

Aside from business partners, extended family members had also joined the party.

Esther handed the gift to Jacob, dressed in a suit, and gazed at the young man before her. "This is the gift I made for you. Take a look and see if you like it."

Jacob accepted the gift and seemed pleased. "I like it."

"You haven't even opened it, and you like it?"

Jacob warmly reassured, "I like it as long as it's from you."

"I crafted this myself."

Jacob placed the gift box on the table and carefully untied the ribbon. He opened the box to reveal a chess set.

"I heard you've recently taken an interest in chess. Since you have everything else, I handmade this chess set for you. The pieces are crafted from white and black jade, hand-polished..."

Jacob used to be a Rubik's cube enthusiast but had recently developed a passion for chess. Under his guidance, Sunshine, Felix, and Twinkle had also started learning how to play chess.

Twinkle barely had time for Jacob due to her piano lessons and performances. In contrast, Sunshine, like Jacob, had developed a love for chess, and they often played together.

Felix occasionally joined Jacob for a game, but he was engrossed in his studies most of the time. It was quite disheartening at such a young age.
