C120 A Daughter Would Be So Beautiful

At the Wood residence, things were very different from the joy shared by the other families.

The elderly couple had spent most of the day shopping at the mall, so they returned home in high spirits with several new purchases.

The atmosphere at dinner was warm and lively. Tracy took out an expensive piece of jewelry and gently handed it to Samantha. “Daughter-in-law, here,” she said.

Samantha was caught off guard. Her face immediately turned red as she accepted the gift. Kelvin laughed softly. “See? I told you she would love it.”

Samantha looked at them again, still slightly stunned. They had called her “daughter-in-law” instead of “child” or simply “Samantha,” as they usually did. The words lingered in her mind.

She slowly composed herself and said, “Thank you, Father-in-law… thank you, Mother-in-law.”

The moment the words left her mouth, her ears turned completely red. Her cheeks burned as she lowered her gaze in embarrassment.

Kelvin burst into laughter at her reaction. He took out a red envelope and smiled. “And this is for my granddaughter.”

Everyone paused for a moment.

“Granddaughter?” Tracy asked with amusement. Ben’s expression immediately darkened.

Kelvin, however, continued calmly. “Who wouldn’t want a granddaughter like that? Just look at how beautiful her mother is. With our genes added in, I’m sure she’ll be stunning. Every man will be chasing after her one day.”

Holidays like this were meant to bring families together, especially for those who worked tirelessly throughout the year, so they embraced the moment fully.

Samantha was still blushing as she listened. A thought crossed her mind if she ever had a daughter, her grandfather-in-law would undoubtedly dote on her, unlike Ben, who always seemed to insist on having a son.

As she was thinking this, Ben suddenly spoke. “Unfortunately, my child will be a boy.” It was as if no one had even heard him. The others continued laughing and talking.

After a while, Tracy smiled and said, “Boy or girl, it doesn’t matter. It will still be our grandchild.”
