C117 The Gifts Surprised Everyone

When I got home, I immediately took out the gifts I had bought for my parents and handed them over. They were both stunned.

My mother was so touched that she actually cried, while my father simply nodded, holding the gift carefully in his hands. In that moment, it felt as though a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders the joy of seeing their son grow up and be able to provide for the family.

At the Chambers family home, Chris also presented his gifts.

Even though they could afford such things at any time, his parents were deeply moved. His mother jumped around in excitement, treating the gift as though it were priceless jewelry despite it being simple.

His father smiled as he strapped on the watch. “My son brought me a gift… thank you, son,” he said proudly.

At the Mooney residence, everyone was surprised when Alicia arrived in a taxi, carrying shopping bags herself.

Her father raised an eyebrow. “Why didn’t you tell us you were going shopping after kite flying? Our driver could have picked you up.”

Her grandfather also looked confused. “I didn’t even receive a bank notification. Did you use your own money for all of this?”

Alicia felt slightly embarrassed but quickly smiled and replied, “Dad, I’m growing up. I want to be independent and experience life on my own. Taking a taxi isn’t a problem at all.”

Then she turned to her grandfather. “And Grandpa, don’t forget I got paid yesterday. I only spent a little. It actually felt nice going to the market.”
