THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 1039

With that, Carey took out two small gift boxes from her bag and pressed one into Elsa's hand and the other into Gertrude's. "The New Year is almost here. This is just a small token for you both. I wish you a happy New Year and all the best."

Both girls immediately tried to refuse. "Mr. and Mrs. Gonzales, we appreciate the thought, but we can't accept these gifts."

"Take them, take them," Stuart, who was usually a man of few words, chimed in. "I've heard from our Freya how much you two look after her. This is just a small token of our appreciation."

It was only after hearing from Caitlin what good kids her two roommates were that Stuart and Carey had decided to prepare gifts. It was a heartfelt gesture.

Carey added, "If you don't accept them, it means you don't think much of my gifts."

Only then did the two of them accept the presents.

Elsa said, "Then we wish you, Mr. and Mrs. Gonzales, a happy New Year, all the best, and good health as well."

"Thank you, thank you both."

After the gifts were exchanged, Caitlin introduced her other family member. "Elsa, Gertrude, this is my son, Monday."

"Monday, you're so majestic!" Elsa, a dog lover, immediately crouched down to pet Monday's head.

"Woof woof woof!"

Hearing the praise, Monday proudly lifted his cute little head.

Gertrude was even more astonished. "I've never seen such a big dog! He's like a little tiger. He's so adorable."

At this, Monday grew even more excited, his little tail wagging furiously.

After the greetings in the dorm, Stuart and the driver carried Caitlin's and Gertrude's suitcases to the car.

The university was an hour's drive from the station.

After dropping Gertrude off, the family finally headed home.

The moment Caitlin walked through the door, Keira handed her a bowl of noodles. "Freya, you must be hungry. Have some noodles."

Caitlin took the bowl and had a bite. Her eyes lit up. "Grandpa made these, didn't he?"
