Chapter 157 Strange Gifts Jeremy nodded and scratched his head. “This is the first time I’ve ever given a girl a birthday gift. I asked my aunt and she said girls like dresses, bags, jewelry, and stuff like that. I’ve never seen you wear a necklace, so I made one for you.” Hailey looked down and noticed the cut on his finger. There was no band-aid on it, but there were obvious red marks. She was a jade carver. She knew how such cuts were made. Jeremy just put his hand behind his back. “I’ll be more skilled next time.” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Hailey just looked at him, not knowing what to say. In fact, she didn’t lack jewelry. Her mother had left her countless jewels. Plus those from major brands and her father and brothers, she could even open a jewelry store. She was willing to wear necklaces, but they were too heavy and she only wore them on important occasions. This was the first time she had received a necklace made by a boy himself. She knew how hard it was to make something so small with these big, slender hands. The more casual he acted, the more pressure she felt. It was a weird feeling. Gail wiped her hands and rubbed the back of Jeremy’s head. “He’s dutiful. He gave me a custom kitchen knife for my birthday.” Jeremy pursed his lips and grumbled inwardly, ‘Worst timing, Master Gail.’ However, Hailey was relieved by Gail’s words, and she said seriously, “I know you’re considerate and trying to make me happy, but you’re a professional basketball player and a chef. You know how important your hands are. Why would you do something that would get you hurt?”

Under Hailey’s serious gaze, Jeremy tensed up. He just didn’t want to upset her. He was anxious, but he didn’t want to contradict her. His face quickly turned red. He just stared at her with watery eyes. Hailey couldn’t stand the look in his eyes. She couldn’t help but soften her tone. “Okay, I’ll take the gift. Don’t do this again.” Jeremy grinned and nodded happily. “No problem!” “Cute boy…” Hailey couldn’t resist reaching for his head, but she couldn’t reach it. Jeremy leaned over and lowered his head like a giraffe. Hailey withdrew her hand and helped him up. “Running out of time. I’m cooking.” Jeremy was upset, but he reassured himself that he still had plenty of time and followed Hailey into the kitchen. “Let me help you!”

Hailey belonged in the kitchen. She stood in front of the stove like a cool female general and the spatula looked like a sharp sword in her hand. Gail and Jeremy looked like her sidekicks. They had done the prep, so Hailey cooked quickly. As the dishes were being served, her brothers arrived. Brook was the first to arrive. He picked Kyle up from the airport and sniffed when he came in. “It smells so good!” Then he turned to Kyle. “Kyle, didn’t I tell you? Hailey will definitely be cooking today. I guessed right.” Kyle had been arguing with him all the way. He was about to retort when he saw Hailey come out of the kitchen. He immediately gave a smile and opened his arms. “Come on. Let me hug you!” Hailey walked over and hugged him. “Kyle, you’re a little late. I’ve been back to Poya for so long.” “I sent Nicholas,” Kyle replied gently. Kyle and Brook looked alike. Their good-looking faces and good bodies were impressive, but their temperaments were completely different. Brook seemed a bit dangerous while Kyle seemed to be gentle. Of course, Kyle was gentle with Hailey. He was just rude to Nicholas. Kyle added, “I was out of the country last month for some major surgery. I was too busy to visit you.” “I know you’re busy. You Doctors Without Borders are needed everywhere.” Hailey wasn’t really angry with Kyle. She knew all too well the duties of a doctor and how busy he was. She glanced behind him. “Why are you alone? Where’s Nick?” Kyle pouted. “He’s busier than I am. He has a million things to do.” Hailey and Brook felt like Kyle was a wife who had been bullied by her husband. They couldn’t stop laughing. “He’s missing out. Forget it. Look at the gift we have for you.” Kyle handed Hailey a kraft paper bag excitedly and said proudly, “We racked our brains to come up with it.” He looked like a schoolboy waiting to be praised. Hailey stared at the kraft paper bag and had no idea what it contained. Photos? Contracts? Postcards? Brook put down his food and walked over curiously. Hailey removed the thread from the bag and poured out the contents. Inside were not photos, contracts, or postcards but… an insurance

policy. Brook and Hailey were both dumbfounded, Kyle said smugly, “I know you don’t lack anything. Our hospital introduced a health insurance policy and I bought you one. It’s practical and innovative, isn’t it?” His face lit up with pride. Brook and Hailey were both speechless, “Well, not bad.” Hailey put

the insurance policy away. She had decided on one of her birthday wishes for this year. ‘Dad, Mom, I wish this insurance Kyle bought would never kick in.’
