Chapter 673
Olivia protested. “That’s not fair. It won’t be a lucky dumpling anymore, then.” The few of them chattered and laughed for another two hours before dinner was finally ready to be served. Eugene poured a glass of wine for everyone at the table. Ellen, meanwhile, pulled out red packets that she had prepared earlier. She picked out one of the largest red packets before handing it to North. “Here you go, North. This is my red packet for you,” she said.
North glanced in his parents’ direction.
“Take it. You need to take good care of the money your grandmother gave you,” Eugene ordered.
“Thank you, Grandma,” North uttered as he took the red packet from Ellen.
Eugene pulled out a red packet from his pocket before handing it to North. “This one’s from Daddy.” Then, North continued to take red packets from Olivia, Brian, and Jewel. The young boy was elated to receive all the red packets. “It’s so fun to spend the new year here! I got so many red packets!” North cried excitedly.
“I’ll give you a red packet each year if you come back every year,” Ellen uttered while beaming.
“Okay!” North gave her a firm nod. After everyone handed their red packets to the youngest of the family, Ellen took out more red packets before
handing them to Jewel, Olivia, Eugene, and Brian. Everyone had a red packet of their own.
However, Jewel refused Ellen’s red packet by pushing it away. Olivia quickly spoke up for Jewel. “We’re all grown-ups, Mrs. Nolan. You don’t have to give us red packets.”
“It doesn’t matter how old you guys are; you guys will always be kids to me. Take it and keep it,” Ellen uttered flatly.
