"Happy birthday , Mom."
Nicole handed the beautifully wrapped gift to Gloria.
"Wow, what a beautiful necklace !"Gloria exclaimed as she opened the jewelry box and saw the
emerald necklace.
Everyone gathered around her.
"How much does such an enormous emerald cost?"
Steve could not help but wonder.
"Emeralds of such a pure color are rare."
Sean sighed as he looked at the eye-catching emerald necklace.
"From where did you get this, Nicole?"
Before Nicole could speak, Spencer blurted out.
"This is also a bracelet."
Gloria was too fascinated by the necklace and forgot about the other box.She quickly opened it upon
hearing what Spencer said.
"This bracelet is also made of the same emerald?"
Gloria looked at Nicole.Nicole nodded with a smile.
"Mom, you will be amazed by how the necklace and bracelet come about,"Samuel told the ins and outs
of how Nicole got the emeralds.
"I didn't know that Nicole is also a gemologist."
Gloria did not expect it was Nicole who handpicked the emeralds and hired someone to custom-make
the necklace and bracelet.
"Nicole, could you help me put it on?"
Gloria immediately took down the necklace she was wearing.Everyone praised Gloria for looking good
wearing it.Then there was a knock at the door.
"Gloria, did you invite friends over?"
"No."
"I'll take a look."
Spencer had probably guessed that the piano he had ordered had arrived.Sure enough, the delivery
men had already carried the piano to the door.
"Come in and put it in the hall," Spencer told the delivery men.
"What is this, Spencer?" Gloria was surprised at seeing something so large.
"You'll know in a moment."
"Slow down. Be careful," Spencer said to the delivery men.
"Please sign here."
After Spencer signed the delivery note, the delivery men left.
"Mom, this is my birthday present for you.Come and unveil it."
Spencer took Gloria's hand to come to the piano.
"What is this? So mysterious."
Filled with curiosity, Gloria whisked open the cloth that covered the thing.She covered her mouth with
her hands when she saw the piano.
"It's a piano!"
"I haven't touched a piano in a long time."
Gloria gently opened the lid.
"Mom, sit down and play a song."
Spencer could not wait but urged his mother.
Gloria looked at them, who were all waiting to see her playing the piano.
As her fingers gently danced on the keys, a beautiful melody reverberated through the mansion.
Everyone applauded as she finished a song.
"Mom, you play really well."
Samuel was amazed, Suddenly, the sound of applause came from the doorway.
Everyone looked over and saw that it was Norah.
"What is she doing here?"
Samuel and others looked at each other.
"Mom, you played so well." Norah complimented Gloria.
"Norah?"
Gloria and Daniel were surprised because neither of them had told Norah about today's gathering.
