Juan and Kyle could not help but marvel at the latest iPad and Lego.
“This is just so cool!” the boys exclaimed.
A fond smile broke out on Nicole’s face as she gazed at the four kids getting so excited about their new toys.
Beside her, Evan looked at her from the corner of his eyes as he held out a box, waving it in front of her.
Nicole’s eyes glimmered in curiosity as her eyes tailed the exquisite box. She flashed him a coy smile and asked eagerly, “Is this for me? What’s this?”
“Take a guess,” Evan replied playfully.
“Hmm, jewelry?” Nicole asked.
“Nope,” Evan said, shaking his head.
“It must be a watch then,” Nicole guessed confidently.
But still, Evan shook his head.
She scrutinized the box carefully, trying to come up with a good guess. It must be something small enough to fit in this box. Aha! I think I got it! ”It’s an accessory!” Nicole clicked her fingers and gave a smart guess.
But she still got it wrong.
Nicole’s brows furrowed seeing Evan’s reaction. She really could not think of anything else no matter how hard she tried and she gave up in the end.
