Sir, You Don’t Know Your Wife

“If you don’t have a gift, I’ll go out tonight to buy it. You can pretend that it’s from you. At least your grandmother won’t be disappointed then.”

Glancing at the night sky outside, Janet shook her head and rejected calmly, “Forget it. I’ll think of something else.”

Megan had no choice but to let Janet have her own way. “Alright then. As you wish.”

Before Janet left, she heard that Emily was giving gold jewelry as a gift.

Perhaps her gift wouldn’t be as formal as Emily’s gift.

Returning to her room, Janet still couldn’t come up with anything as a gift for her grandmother even after racking her brain.

She then dialed a number and a man’s deep, sexy voice could be heard. “Hello.”

Feeling awkward, Janet cleared her throat. In the end, she had called Mason since he must know about choosing gifts. After all, there were elderlies in the Lowry Family.

“I just called to ask what I should give to an elderly during their birthday?” Janet asked discreetly.

For quite some time, Janet didn’t hear any sound from the other end. Just when she was about to hang up, thinking that he might not have heard it or was in the midst of doing something, he suddenly replied, “If it’s for an elderly, the best gift would be gems or jades.”

Upon hearing that, Janet felt like she had lost all hopes. Where was she going to get gems or jades in the middle of the night?

“Alright. Sorry to bother you. I’ll hang up now.”

On the other side, Mason could sense the disappointment in the girl’s voice.

This was the first time she had called him on her own initiative ever since the stone-gambling incident.

Wait a minute. Did she mention an elderly’s birthday?

Whose birthday was it?

He ought to find it out.

The next day was Saturday.

At 7 p.m., the birthday party was starting soon.

Yet, Emily was still dressing up in her room, causing Megan to be as anxious as an ant on hot bricks.

When it was almost time, Megan dashed up the stairs and opened Emily’s door.

“Emily, your grandmother’s birthday party is almost starting. Are you not done dressing up?”

Grinning, Emily turned around and Megan was instantly astonished. “Oh my. Emily, you’re stunning!”

Emily made her proud with her dress-up and would definitely be the prettiest at the party. By that time, Brandon and his wife as well as her sister-in-law’s family would also be impressed.

Receiving Megan’s praise, Emily smiled even brighter. “Mommy, look at the gold necklace that I bought for grandmother. She would be overjoyed.”

Megan nodded in satisfaction. After all, all elderlies loved gold jewelry.

When Emily got downstairs, she saw Janet sitting on the sofa reading the economics section of the newspaper.

Seeing that, Emily couldn’t help but mock inwardly, She’s even pretending in this situation.

Pretending to be kind, Emily walked toward Janet and asked her in a curious tone, “Janet, what are you planning to give grandmother?”

Glancing at Emily without any emotions in her eyes, Janet replied coldly, “This.”

She put down the newspaper in her hand and pointed at a cylindrical item, which was wrapped in newspapers, on the table.

Once Emily saw that, she giggled and said in disgust, “Janet, isn’t that too simple? You should at least wrap it like mine.” While saying, she took out a red velvet box from her bag.

Looking in the direction where Janet was pointing, Megan’s face instantly grew grave.

W-Was that the gift that Janet prepared?

A-A gift that was wrapped in newspapers?

Immediately, she asked in a helpless tone, “Janet, are you serious? How can you wrap your gift in newspapers?”

Looking up, Janet replied calmly, “It doesn’t matter what it looks like on the outside. What matters the most is the item inside.”

Upon hearing that, Emily chuckled. “Tell us then. What valuable item is in that newspaper wrapping? Judging from the cylindrical shape, could it be that you’re giving grandmother a folding umbrella?”

Megan was speechless at that.

She couldn’t bear listening anymore. If she heard a word more from Emily, she would definitely throw away Janet’s gift.
