As expected, November 24 was Daisy&#8217;s birthday.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Time flied. A year passed.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;No problem. I have money now, so I will give you presents.&#8221; I replied with a smile.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;OK!&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I talked to Daisy for a while and hung up.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   But after I hung up, I couldn&#8217;t help feeling a little upset.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   What should I give her?   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   When I got home, I sat in front of the computer and searched the Internet. I heard someone behind me saying, &#8220;what kind of gifts do career women like?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I was scared!   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I turned and saw Sean in a suit stooping behind me. He was staring at the screen.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Whose birthday?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Sean straightened up and asked me as he untied his tie.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Daisy.&#8221; I was not going to hide it from him.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Oh.&#8221; Sean was silent for a moment. &#8220;It depends on you. If you want to go out and buy presents, I&#8217;ll accompany you.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I searched the Internet for a long time. The opinion of many people was that the heart of a woman was soft. Those women who seemed to be strong were only armed with thick armor.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   They didn&#8217;t want to be seen as weak.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   So there was no need to treat them differently.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I had some ideas after reading it. Maybe Daisy liked what I liked.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   In fact, the gifts I had given Daisy over the years were suitable for her. Most of them were based on my guess.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   A bag was the best gift for a woman.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Because of me, Sean carefully chose to accompany me to buy presents for daisy on Monday.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   We went shopping and saw a lot of top brand bags.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Each one seemed to have some shortcomings. Finally, I decided to buy a red bag with chain.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   When I wanted to pay, I happened to pass a counter with a pair of beautiful sequined high heels.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   This pair of high-heeled shoes had different colors at the front and back.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   The first time I saw it, I knew in my mind that it was suitable for Daisy!   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   As I returned the bag and showed Sean the shoes, I heard a man shouting, &#8220;Sean!&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Although I hadn&#8217;t heard the voice for a long time, I could recognize it.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Jack.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   It was strange that I hadn&#8217;t seen Jack for a long time, but this time I came out to buy a gift for Daisy and met him.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Did it mean that they have a special fate?   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   When I was thinking, I looked up and saw Jack standing not far away. There was a woman around him holding his arm.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   In an instant, all my thoughts disappeared.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   When they got closer, the woman saw the high-heeled shoes in my hand and said, &#8220;Wow, Jack, I like these shoes, too.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;OK, buy it.&#8221; Jack said bluntly and said to the salesman, &#8220;bring her the same pair of shoes.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Instead of going to the warehouse, the salesman went straight up and said, &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry, sir. This pair of shoes is limited in the world and this one in the lady&#8217;s hand is the last one.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Jack&#8230;&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   As soon as the salesman said that, the woman began to shake Jack&#8217;s arm and her eyes were pitiful.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Jack seemed to like her very much. He looked at me and flattered me. &#8220;June, are you going to wear the shoes?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;No, I will give it to someone else.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I told the truth.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   As soon as I said that, Jack immediately had the confidence, &#8220;June, since you want to give gifts to others, it&#8217;s the feelings rather than the gifts that matter, right?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Yes.&#8221; I didn&#8217;t deny it.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Jack nodded. &#8220;My dear loves these shoes, and your friend certainly didn&#8217;t tell you that she must have them as gifts, did she?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Yes.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I nodded.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   At this time, the woman next to Jack looked very excited.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   She thought I was going to agree and Jack was about to pay.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   She looked at the shoes in my hand and said happily, &#8220;can I try it on first? If I don&#8217;t like it, you can buy it.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;No way.&#8221; I refused decisively.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;You!&#8221; The woman wanted to lose her temper but when she saw Sean, she was scared. Then she looked at Jack, &#8220;Honey&#8230;&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I put the shoes behind me and said with a smile, &#8220;Jack, can I ask you a question? If you&#8217;re right, I&#8217;ll consider giving her the shoes.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;OK!&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Jack was excited.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;What&#8217;s her full name?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   As soon as I asked this question, Jack&#8217;s face was as stiff as I expected.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Sean next to me chuckled.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   The woman seemed to realize it, too, &#8220;Jack, you&#8230;&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;I know!&#8221; Jack looked at the woman and took two deep breaths. At last he just said, &#8220;dear.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Can&#8217;t you remember her name?&#8221; Sean helped me. He raised his hand and held me by the shoulder. &#8220;I remember the name of my dear very well.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Sean.&#8221; Jack took a helpless look at Sean.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   At this time, the woman was really angry. She released Jack&#8217;s arm and put her hands on her chest and said, &#8220;Jack, you can&#8217;t remember my name! If you don&#8217;t buy me the shoes, I won&#8217;t forgive you.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   She was relieving the embarrassment.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Jack had a lot of lovers. They must want his money.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   She didn&#8217;t care if Jack remembered her name.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;OK, I&#8217;ll buy it!&#8221; Jack didn&#8217;t want to make this woman angry and looked at me, &#8220;June, June!&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I looked at Jack and smiled, &#8220;Jack, do you know who I&#8217;m going to give these shoes to?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Who?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Daisy&#8217;s birthday is coming. This is my birthday present for her.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   When I mentioned Daisy, Jack&#8217;s expression immediately changed. He said without hesitation, &#8220;June, you can take the shoes.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   The woman was stunned. &#8220;Jack.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;There are a lot of shoes here. You don&#8217;t have to buy this pair of shoes.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I didn&#8217;t know if it was my illusion. After I mentioned Daisy, Jack&#8217;s attitude towards the woman changed a lot.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;But I like this pair. You promised to buy it for me.&#8221; Jack was impatient when the woman said that.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   He ignored her and flattered me, &#8220;June, I didn&#8217;t know Daisy&#8217;s birthday is coming. Now that I know it, I will definitely give her a present.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;You don&#8217;t have to.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I took the shoes and was going to pay.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Jack followed me, &#8220;June, you can tell me if you need help later, but don&#8217;t tell Daisy what happened today!&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;All right, go and coax your dear.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Sean couldn&#8217;t help but speak at last.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I bought the shoes and went home. I thought it was over.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I didn&#8217;t expect that the next day, when Sean returned home, he brought back two exquisite small boxes.   <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I thought for a moment.
