Five Years of Marriage to Mr. Bradford (by Koi Fish) novel Chapter 574

Having missed Christmas while in Ireland, Rebecca decided to go home and spend the rest of the holiday with her family.

She packed gifts for everyone, called Aaron, and headed back.

In the car, she handed Aaron some presents. “Happy New Year! Please give one to each of the team members.”

Aaron scratched his head, hesitant.

“Take it. Thank you all for your hard work,” Rebecca said, placing the gifts on the passenger seat.

“Thank you, Miss.”

“No worries.”

After Aaron dropped her off at Kaitlyn’s house, she walked inside.

Josette came over immediately, looked her up and down, and started fussing. “You’ve lost weight.”

In Josette’s mind, only being plump meant healthy.

Rebecca hugged the old lady. “I ate nothing but meat the whole trip. I gained five pounds. Any fatter, and I won’t be able to dance.”

Josette pinched her cheek. “I don’t see any weight gain.”

Kaitlyn came downstairs, smiling. “The house didn’t feel the same without you during the holidays. It just wasn’t lively enough. Gabriel and I used to spend Christmas here just fine. Clearly, it’s hard to go back to simple after getting used to luxury.”

Gabriel came down as well. “Yeah, you weren’t here, and my mom kept finding faults with me.”

Rebecca grinned. “Like pushing you to get married?”

“Not exactly,” Kaitlyn said. “I’m not going to pressure him about marriage. I just asked if he had any children out there. I don’t care if he stays single, but I don’t want the girl to suffer because of him.”

“Mom, what are you talking about?” Gabriel protested.

“No hard feelings, Gabe. You have one too,” she said, pulling out the gifts. “Grandma, this one’s for you.”

Some were from the market, others from the villages they had visited–mostly local handicrafts. They weren’t expensive, but they were unique. Everyone loved them.

Rebecca told Gabriel, “Talmost bought you a green dress, but then I figured you probably wouldn’t wear it.”

“Why not buy him a green hat instead?” Kaitlyn said playfully.

Rebecca and Josette both burst out laughing. Even after years abroad, Kaitlyn still had her sharp sense of humor.

“Green is a symbol of vitality, Ms. Designer,” Gabriel said helplessly.

“Yeah,” Rebecca said seriously. “Men actually look good in green. Vance wore one while dancing.”

“Vance?” Gabriel raised an eyebrow.
