His Precious Love novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12

Welcome Baby Party When Rayna was still in a daze, the sound of running water in the bathroom gradually stopped. Upon hearing his footsteps, she hurriedly placed the phone back in his pocket and pretended to have just picked up his clothes. “Why are you here?” Julian was shocked by the presence of Rayna in the second bedroom. He fixed his gaze on the clothes that Rayna was holding and felt relieved after he found that there was nothing unusual. Rayna remained calm and handed the clothes to him with a smile. “You didn’t return to the master bedroom, so I came here to look for you. I was wondering how much monetary gift we should prepare for the welcome baby party of your cousin’s son.” “We’re pretty close with their family. Let’s give eighty-eight thousand, then.” It was a huge amount.

Rayna pursed her lips and said, “Okay. But Julian, you know my mom is in the hospital. I don’t have much money with me now. You prepare the money, then.” Julian’s expression darkened. “Isn’t your salary at the translation department very high? How much have you spent on your mom’s hospital bill? It shouldn’t be much.” Noticing that Rayna was staring at him without saying a word, Julian realized he had said something inappropriate. In a coaxing manner, he said, “I mean, you’ve been handling these all this while, Darling. I don’t know anything, so I think it’s better that you handle it, too, this time.”

Only when they arrived did Rayna realize that the party was held at a well-known luxury hotel in the city, and she was shocked. Shawn Faymon owned a logistics company, and no doubt he made quite a lot of money. However, having a party at such a luxurious hotel seemed a little too much. Rolanda also knew that this was a luxury hotel. When she saw Shawn’s wife, Astrid Stonewell, welcoming guests at the entrance with a baby in her arms, she walked up to her and asked, “Atty, is there a need to hold a welcome baby party at such a luxurious place?” “We’re family, Aunt Rolanda. I’m just happy that you can celebrate this day with us! The meal is totally worth it even if it’s expensive,” Astrid said sweetly. Rayna sneered, for she knew Astrid very well. Astrid was more stingy than Rolanda. She would never give anything in return for gifts that she received, and she was also a vain woman. Sure enough, after a pause, Astrid added, “Actually, it was not my initial intention to choose such a luxury hotel. But Shawn invited Uncle Curtis, and Uncle Curtis said that he’ll be coming. Shawn was afraid that a low-class hotel wouldn’t match Uncle Curtis’ status, so we chose this hotel in the end.” Rolanda’s face clouded over, while Rayna’s heart skipped a beat. No way. Curtis is so busy. He has to take care of the company after he returned to the country, and he rarely cares about his relatives. There’s no way he’ll attend this welcome baby party.
