S31 96. Leave It to Uncle Jeremy

“Then this,” Eva handed her another smaller bag. “You didn’t think I forgot your birthday, did you?”

Eva widened her smile then hugged Ava. “Happy birthday, Sister. Sorry I’m a day late.”

Hearing that, Louis’ neck stretched. “It was Ava’s birthday yesterday? Why didn’t she tell us?”

“And why is Uncle Jeremy keeping it a secret too?” Emily frowned.

Guilt suddenly haunted Jeremy. He had missed Ava’s special day and even dragged her to the brink of death.

“Sorry, I don’t know about that either.”

“Ah, Uncle sucks,” Louis grumbled, inviting a small rebuke from Kara.

Jeremy fell silent. Not because he was disturbed by Louis, but by Mrs. Connor. When Ava told her yesterday’s date, why didn’t she say congratulations? Was it because she was in a coma that she forgot her daughter’s birthday?

Meanwhile, Eva had loosened her embrace. “I hope next year you will celebrate your birthday. A party once a year is not too much, Sister. I will definitely come.”

A second later, Eva turned to face Jeremy. She didn’t care if Ava was overwhelmed by the embarrassment.

“Sorry if my sister keeps her birthday a secret. She doesn’t like

throwing parties. According to her, it’s a waste of money. In fact, with what you’ve done for our family, she shouldn’t mind treating. That’s why….”

Eva handed him the best shopping bag. “I bought this for you, Sir. I am very grateful that you are willing to accommodate Ava and our mother. Sorry if Ava’s attitude is unpleasant. She is a bit cold and

stiff, but actually, her heart is good.”

Jeremy stared at the bag in silence, He had no interest to receive it. But suddenly, Eva grabbed his hand and hung the bag strap on his fingers. Frank and his family were instantly stunned.

“Please don’t look at the price, but look at the sincere intention. The shirt must look better on you.” Eva showed a smile that disgusted Jeremy.

Ava also couldn’t stand seeing her sister’s behavior any longer. A taking a deep breath, she spoke while still looking down. “Please excuse me. And thank you for your gift.”

Eva laughed a little. “Don’t exaggerate it, Sister. You don’t need to feel bad about me. I know your capability. I don’t mind that you’ve never given me a gift.”
