“You wear a size 36 shoe. This pair is size 35. So, there are only two possibilities: either it wasn’t purchased for you or the wrong size was bought.”
Elizabeth logically deduced.
Linda was taken aback, checked the shoe, and indeed it was size 35.
How did Elizabeth know the size just by looking? Was it a coincidence?
“Perhaps Jack made a mistake.”
Linda assumed. She believed Elizabeth was envious that Jack only bought a gift for her, hence the comment.
A sense of triumph welled up within Linda, thinking, “Even if you’re his real sister, Jack still cherishes me the most.”
Elizabeth didn’t respond, turning to head upstairs.
However, Linda called out to her, her tone dripping with condescension. “Do you like them? You can have them. I have too many shoes as it is, and it’s a waste to just keep them. It’s all because Jack always likes gifting me.”
Before Elizabeth could refuse, Sophia, having heard the commotion, peeked out from the small kitchen.
She smiled warmly at Elizabeth, “Elizabeth, the bag on the sofa is a
back-to-school gift from Zane for you. Do you like it?”
The pride Linda felt earlier vanished. Holding the shoes, she felt an unprecedented wave of embarrassment; her lovely face flushed.
The gloating she had displayed earlier was now replaced by a face of sheer embarrassment.
Elizabeth, a bit slow on the uptake, asked Sophia, “For me?”
“Yes,” Sophia replied, smiling at Elizabeth’s puzzled expression.
Elizabeth pursed her lips and took a moment before moving to the sofa to see what Zane had gifted.
Sophia added, “Linda, the items on the coffee table are from Zane for you.” Linda gave a strained smile, eyes fixed on the coffee table.
Though the gifts were branded, they seemed less valuable compared to Elizabeth’s.
Elizabeth’s gifts were pricier.
Resentment surged within Linda, thinking, “Zane is so biased!”
Seeing Linda still holding the shoes, Elizabeth, with a nonchalant expression, asked, “Do you like them? You can have them. I have plenty and can’t wear them all.”
This was indeed true. She didn’t usually buy clothes, but many people were willing to prepare them for her.
Linda was certain this was Elizabeth’s way of mocking her. Suppressing her anger, she responded with a forced smile, “No need. If Zane got it for you, I couldn’t possibly take it.”
Elizabeth nodded and continued unpacking her gifts without paying any more attention to the visibly fuming Linda. And she unwrapped each package one by one.
Among the presents were clothes, plush toys, shoes, and notebooks—all practical items. It was clear Zane had put thought into them.
Sophia was pleased to see Zane’s thoughtful choices.
Although Zane wasn’t particularly agreeable, he had always been attentive.
Her only grievance was his decision to become a celebrity, forsaking his college education.
Back in the kitchen, Sophia remarked to Ray, “Zane seems to be quite considerate. I thought he’d forget he even had a real sister.”
Ray responded indifferently, “If he was truly considerate, why didn’t he come in person? Sending gifts doesn’t count for much.”
Sophia chuckled, “Sure, you claim not to care, but aren’t you always secretly reading his news?”
Ray didn’t know what to say.
Feigning ignorance, continued peeling garlic.
He wasn’t against Zane’s celebrity path but disapproved of him abandoning college for his dreams.
Thus, Zane had to pave his own way in the entertainment industry.
No one knew that Zane was the Wilson family’s second young master.
Ray had been harboring resentment toward Zane for not even calling Elizabeth since she returned. It was only mitigated slightly upon seeing Zane’s gifts.
Sophia’s brow furrowed in concern, “Elizabeth’s test results should be out soon.. How am I going to console her if necessary?”
