I swallowed into nothing, unable to say a word. Her eyes were on mine, I knew she was expecting me to say something. What could I possibly say?
Her gifts were.... out of ordinary.
"What's with the look on your face, sweetie? You don't like the gifts?" Scarlet asked. Hurt was evident in her voice.
She took one of them, holding it up. "This is vanilla flavor, you should try this with Diego. Trust me, it..."
I turned to face Diego and noticed he was staring with a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. I quickly took it from her, shoving it inside the box.
"Thanks for the gifts, mom," I said in a low voice, staring elsewhere as my cheeks flushed in embarrassment.
"You've not even checked all the contents of the box. Let's go through it together," she said, and took the box from me.
