Yolanda was hesitant, and Jacqueline was also stunned…
Logan and Elena sat on one side. They seemed to have known each other’s thoughts. They didn’t intend to say anything, and just looked at each other and smiled.
“But…”
Yolanda cautiously looked at Jacqueline, and Jacqueline became more confused.
Cornel also heard what they said. He was curious too, “What’s going on?”
“Since you all want to know, then I’ll tell you!” Yolanda finally decided to tell them.
Jacqueline immediately pulled Yolanda, and then Yolanda turned to look at her, “Mom, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to say it, but I can’t hide it anymore. Besides, the day is not far away. It doesn’t matter if I tell them, right?”
“So, what’s going on?” Jacqueline said in a voice that only she could hear.
Yolanda laughed and said, “Grandpa, dad, mom has been busy with something a few days ago. You can guess what she has done?”
“What?”
George frowned.
Yolanda stopped keeping them guessing, “Mom has made gifts for us all these days, all of which are made by hand! When I went to see her a few days ago, I found her ten fingers were all pierced!”
When Cornel heard that, he immediately got worried, “Why are you so careless? How are your fingers now?”
Jacqueline immediately understood what was going on. She smiled awkwardly and hid her hand behind her back, “It’s been some days. I’m fine.”
“Really? What have you made? It’s still early, so we can have a look at your gifts.” George immediately proposed.
Jacqueline subconsciously looked at Yolanda.
Yolane’s smile was so innocent, “Okay. I will bring them to you!” She ran out. Jacqueline sat there, very uneasy.
Cornel believed what Yolanda said. He took her hand and looked at it carefully, “Why do you want to make handicrafts for us suddenly? You don’t do needlework all the time. You are asking for trouble.”
“I’m fine.” Jacqueline smiled, “I just have nothing to do. The most important is to make you guys happy.”
“You are always nice to everyone. I…” Cornel was touched. He lowered his head and carefully caressed her hand, “Let me see your hand. Are you okay?”
Jacqueline subconsciously took back her hands. Cornel held them tighter, “Do not hide. Let me have a look.”
“It’s been healed for a long time. You can’t see the scars now!”
“It’s so lucky for you not to get the scars.”
Hearing their words, Elena said, “Aunt Jacqueline, you are so sweet. So, have you prepared gifts for me and Logan?”
“Eh…”
Jacqueline’s smile froze. Yolanda just left without saying anything. She didn’t take her with her and just left her here. How could she know what she had made and whom she had made the gifts for?
“Haven’t you prepared for me?” Elena put on a false pity.
“Of course, you have the gifts!” Jacqueline blurted out.
“Really? You are so nice. What have you made?”
Elena pressed on her. It seemed that she could tell what Jacqueline was thinking about through her eyes. Jacqueline panicked.
