Looking into his eyes for this long made it hard for me to be cruel to him, especially after I heard his heartbreaking love story, having no money and being forced to let go of the woman he loved in order to save her. I wasn’t in such a terrible situation. Honestly, after going through so many events, my mind seemed to restrain me from acting too harshly. The gifts had already arrived at my house. I couldn’t deny that he had even thought about Miles, giving him a book that turned out to be popular among children. I truly appreciated the effort, he clearly didn’t just choose something expensive at random to appease me. Considering how risky the situation still was, with reporters frequently l

That made me really angry because clearly, Tristan didn’t see me as someone worthy of being respected. So, I gave the gifts to my coworkers. Their smiles said it all, and I was glad Mr. Smith supported me. Many of them were wives who couldn’t afford nice things because of money issues. Some bought their things from flea markets, while others had almost nothing. As a Crud, I could relate to their struggle. That was why giving them these gifts felt like an early Christmas for everyone.

We had a boundary line around our territory and that shit did NOT come in. When Mags and I start to exchange gifts, I get sentimental just like every year. I get pissed for all the years I lost with her, all the years she had to be alone. We could have had each other. She got me some preppy shit, a couple of expensive shirts and cologne. A watch that had to be a few hundred dollars. I didn’t like her wasting her money on me knowing how little she made but it was pointless to argue. The guys and I all paid for her house and bills so I had to let her do what she wanted with her small salary. She didn’t get the baby moments with me, buying cute clothes and toys and I know that is heavy on her h

I smile handing them both the present as I hear Maggie cheer running over hugging my legs. "Thank you, your majesty," she says, I got her real ballet shoes as she was starting ballet, but they couldn't afford to get her any shoes, so I got them for her. Jeremy also walks over giving me a little hug thanking my me, Mark always tells me how Jeremy loves RC cars so I got him the best one I could find, by the time we were finished hugging Mark and his wife had already finished opening their gifts.

Everyone in the retreat had gathered to witness the Christmas gift giving, there were a lot of shouts and giggles from the crowd as they handed one another the most expensive gifts. Jasmine on the other hand, had gotten a watch, it was the cheapest at the store yet it managed to run her account almost dry.
