It was a parcel from overseas.
She had received an international parcel before. At that time, she opened it and saw Wesley’s finger.
It was a nightmare that would haunt her for the rest of her life.
She took a deep breath and said to Mrs. Cooper, "You can go ahead and help me open it!"
"Okay, I'll do it outside." Mrs. Cooper took the parcel and walked out.
Layla liked unpacking parcels, so she followed behind Mrs. Cooper to see what was inside.
"Let me comb your hair, Layla." Avery stopped her daughter. "Mrs. Cooper will bring in the parcel's contents for us to see later." "Oh, okay!" Layla came back to Avery and said whimsically, "Mommy, do you think the parcel might be a birthday present for me and Hayden?"
Avery smiled and said, "Then who do you think sent it."
"I don't know." Layla thought for a moment and did not know who it could be. However, she seemed very confident when she said," I think it is a gift for me and Hayden because it's our birthday today! Think about it. Why was that parcel delivered today of all days?"
Layla's ideas were rather cute even though they were a little childish.
It was then that Mrs. Cooper came in with the contents of the parcel. "It appears to be a birthday present for Layla and Hayden."
Mrs. Cooper brought the two greeting cards to Avery.
When Avery took the greeting card and glanced at it, the expression on her face froze immediately.
"Whoa! It's so beautiful! I knew it was a gift for me and Hayden! This girly card must be for me!" Layla took the card from Avery.
It was a card with a picture of a little girl and a birthday cake.
The other card featured a little boy and a birthday cake.
Although there were no words written on it, the pictures told a thousand words.
It was undoubtedly a birthday card for Hayden and Layla.
