Jack put down his utensils in his hands and looked at Queenie.

He was the only Norman family member who knew that Luca was Bianca. As such, Queenie would not be able to understand a lot of what he was talking about.

"We'll just get Luca something for New Year's," Jack said. After all, Luca was their daughter. It was normal to give presents to one's kids during the new year.

That was the best blessing parents could give to their children during the festivities.

"Would it seem too tacky?" Queenie was hesitant. Although it was common for elders to give gifts to juniors, Luca did not seem like the kind who would get them so many gifts to get something in return from them.

On top of that, she heard from Luke that Luca grew up abroad with her mother.

They might not practice the same traditions, she was worried that it might seem too casual if she went to get a return gift.

"That's the most sincere blessing we can give to someone. How can it be tacky?" Jack picked up his fork and continued to eat his noodles. He was also thinking about how Luca might have to be a little lonely this New Year's.

She was not Bianca, so she would not be accompanying Luke to visit family and friends, nor would she visit Crawford Manor.

She had to spend New Year's Eve all alone...

Jack felt terrible when he thought about how his biological daughter would have to spend New Year's by herself.

He could invite Luca over, but he could not have her stay in Norman Residence the entire time. Otherwise, Queenie would get suspicious.

"I'll send Luca a gift from the two of us." Queenie had no choice but to agree when she saw how Jack felt about the matter.

"It should be a gift with special meaning. Write a card and tell Luca the things we would say to Bianca and Leia," Jack said.

Queenie had a habit of sending her kids a long text full of blessings after midnight on New Year's Eve no matter where the children were.
