บท 194: Setup (1)

Grandma stared at me for a while and then slowly tucked my hair behind my ear. He smiled when he saw the earring and said, "It's such a beautiful earring, Em. I'm glad that you accepted it."

I paused for a good minute while Grandma kept on touching my new earring. I didn't know why she would say that, especially when she said that she was glad I accepted it.

"Grandma, what do you mean by accepting it?" I asked, full of suspicion. 

"Oh, I just thought that you should get a Christmas gift from your boyfriend, a personal one. I'm glad that your boyfriend got you something," Grandma said. "This earring is from your boyfriend, right?"

…

I had a feeling that Grandma was hiding something from me, but I couldn't quite grasp what she was hiding. 

I didn't want to push her as well because she was old and fragile. If I pressured her to say something, it might affect her health.
