Everyone looked at Kevin curiously. What was in the box?
"Just tell me what's in the box." Hannah did not dare to walk over. She pulled Amy's hand and said to Kevin from afar.
"Amy, come over and take a look," Kevin replied.
Amy was about to go over, but Hannah held her hand tightly.
"It's fine. Kevin won't play tricks on me." Amy knew Kevin well. Although he was Richard and Allison's friend, he was nice to Amy.
"Let's go together." All the girls walked to Kevin together.
Kevin opened the box again, which surprised all of them.
Inside the box was a beautiful evening gown. It was pink and fairy. They knew it must be amazing even though Amy hadn't put it on.
"Take it out." Hannah couldn't help but pick up the evening gown first. Hilary came to offer her a hand.
It was a pink mermaid dress draped across one shoulder, whose simple design was striking and fancy.
Except the dress, there was only a pair of high heels in the same color in the box.
"Who sent it? Is it you, Andy?" Hannah looked at the beautiful evening gown. Only they knew that Amy liked pink.
"No. My gift is in that box." Andy also found it strange. Only Kevin, Hannah, Hilary and he gathered here to celebrate Amy's birthday today. Even Amy herself did not know about it. Who else would know?
"Never mind. It's a beautiful dress anyway. Don't think too much. Let's have dinner. I'm starving." Hilary was a simple girl and did not think about it.
"Yeah. Let's have dinner. Forget it. It's always a good thing to get presents." Hannah was already drooling over the shrimps.
They then had a good feast and forgot about the gift.
After dinner, Hannah, Hilary and Amy got into Andy's car. Kevin left after he received a call. He wanted to stay with Hannah, but he was a little scared of the person who called him. So he had to leave.
When Kevin was around, Hannah thought that he was annoying. He always tried to meddle in her affairs. But after Kevin left, Hannah started to miss him.
However, she wouldn't show it. Otherwise, Kevin would be very proud.
With their encouragement, Amy put on the new dress and shoes. They fitted Amy perfectly well, as if they were specially made for her.
And the jade jewelry from Andy matched well with the dress.
Amy put on the pink gown and tied her hair up. She looked glowing this way.
Andy's new house was in the west of the city. That was a very wealthy neighborhood where villas sold out immediately before they are completed.
Andy lived here alone. He did not live in the Baker's old mansion. Nor did he get along well with his family.
Everyone laughed, and Hannah scratched her head awkwardly.
"Alright, let's go swimming. Anyone can't swim?" When Andy said this, he looked at Amy.
When Amy was a little girl, she was afraid of the water, let alone swimming. Andy had tried a lot of ways, but failed to teach her to swim. Now that Amy had grown up, Andy thought that she shouldn't be afraid of water anymore. But he still asked out of concern.
Noticing Andy's gaze, Amy knew that he still remembered she used to fear water. And Amy flushed. She was very timid back then. However, she spent much more time learning swimming. Because she wanted to surprise Andy when he came back.

"Madam, we've sent it to Ms. Miller." A man in black reported to the woman in Bugatti.
"Alright, I owe her this," The woman said in a charming voice.
The secretary beside the woman asked carefully, "Madam, why don't you go see Ms. Miller? You've done a lot for her."
"I didn't do anything special for her. This is what I should do. I feel guilty to see her. She must have forgotten me. I will help her without letting her know. We got to go. My husband is coming back." With that, the woman asked the driver to take her back.
Amy and her friends all changed into swimming suits. The swimming pool was temperature-controlled, so the water was warm at night.
Hannah jumped into the pool as soon as she saw it. Hilary was not that good at swimming, but she also jumped into it happily.
