"Honey." Elizabeth did not speak or move. James caught a glimpse of her expression from the corner of his eye and asked, "What's wrong?"
Elizabeth looked up at James, "I don't know... who sent it."
Almost everyone wrote their names on the gift boxes, and some people even wrote the names of their companies.
However, there was no signature on this small box...
James were about two meters away from Elizabeth, so he could not see what was inside at once, "Is there no name on it?"
"No." Elizabeth shook her head.
James raised his eyebrows, "Maybe this person forgot to write the name." After that, he leaned over to have a look, "What's in it?"
Elizabeth took a look at the things inside and then took them out.
A pink- blue baby suit and a pair of small shoes of the same color.
Did you tell others that I'm pregnant?" "No." James shook his head. He had become a father, and it was a great thing. He didn't intend to hide it, but he didn't spread the news everywhere, because Elizabeth was not in a stable condition in the past, and he didn't want anyone to visit her and disturb her rest.
"Today, I didn't want them to disturb your rest, so I said it."
"Oh." Elizabeth nodded, "But we received this gift at the wedding banquet, right?" It was impossible for anyone to buy it for her that night.
"Could it be..." James looked at the small clothes in Elizabeth's hand, and then looked at her, "Could it be Evelyn?" Although he asked this question, he didn't dislike this gift.
He was not fond of opening gifts, and he was not a snob. He knew that the good intention of others was the most important. He didn't care about how much the gift was worth.
"No." Elizabeth shook her head, "Evelyn gave me her gift long ago. It's not this."
Evelyn didn't have much money, but she gave her a set of customized embroidery bedding products.
"Oh." James nodded, "Maybe someone knew that you are pregnant and sent this to you."
Elizabeth frowned in confusion. After a while, she said, "I don't mean anything else. I just think... Look at these things, every one of them seems to be very expensive. The one in my hand..."
After that, she looked at the small clothes again.
Although it was not of a famous brand, its style, color and quality were very good, and she liked it very much. She was pregnant, so she was very fond of baby things.
"Honey, what do you want to say?"
Elizabeth pursed her lips and shook her head, "I don't know either. However, I like it very much."
"Since you like it, keep it. Maybe this person forgot to write his name, but it is an expression of his good will, isn't it? Don't think too much."
"Alas!" Elizabeth sighed, "That's the only way."
"Are you tired?" James asked, "If you are tired, go to sleep first and open the rest of the gifts tomorrow, huh?"
"Fine."
James stood up and gently pulled up Elizabeth, "Are your legs numb? Do you want me to carry you in my arms?"
"No, I can walk by myself."
"Okay, I'll take your hand."
Elizabeth followed James and took two steps, and she suddenly paused, "We opened too many gifts just now and I don't know where to put them. If I get up late tomorrow morning, think of a way to deal with them."
