To Grandpa Augustine, these gifts were peanuts, “Why don’t you hit the mall again tomorrow? You should get yourself some new clothes.”

Cornelia responded, “Grandpa, you just had loads of clothes custom made for me not long ago, I haven’t even worn them yet, I think I’ll pass on buying more. Keep these gifts for yourself. They gave me a lot today. I’ll definitely return the favor later. We’re not close or anything, so maybe you could handle the returning part.”

Grandpa Augustine shot Comelia a displeased look, “You think I’m short of these trinkets? They’re gifts from elders, just accept them graciously. I’ll handle the gift returning when the time comes, no need for you to worry.”
