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..."
Nicole 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?"
Tears welled up in Gloria's eyes when she saw everyone else giving Nicole their blessings.
Then, 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.
