Chapter 387 Chapter 387 Christmas presents? Tanya was known for being tight-fisted. Getting a dout of her was like pulling teeth. And now, she's suddenly generous? Hank eyed Tanya skeptically, "Tanya, you gotta be wanting something fromand your sister-in-law, right? If you do, just spill it." Tanya shook her head, "Nope, bro, you're reading too much into it." When their parents unwrapped their gifts, they were gobsmacked. These items would cost a pretty penny. Why on earth would Tanya splurge like this? Karan, always sharp, looked up at Tanya, "Tanya, cclean. Did you get into strouble?" Tanya smiled, "Mom, what are you talking about? I'm nineteen. Can't I buy gifts for my family?"

And you are taking those driving lessons. As for the gifts, you're returning them tomorrow! We're a practical family. We don't need luxury items! Save your money for college. You'll need it." Karan had her reasons. Hank had been married for a while, still living with them, without a place of their own. It was important to save where they could. This spree must have cost a fortune! It pained her.

She was about to leave this world. All she wanted was to buy her family sgifts in her final months. Was even that too much to ask? "I'm not going to driving school! And as for the gifts, if you don't want them, throw them out!" Karan was furious, slamming the table, "Tanya! Say that again!" Tanya, holding back tears, walked to her room.
"Little sis!" Jane caught Tanya's sleeve.
"Leave her, Jane! Let her go! We've spoiled her rotten! Now she doesn't know her limits!" Jane had to let go. Tanya went to her room, laying on her bed, crying softly.
