Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 12

In an instant, all eyes were on Chloe and Lucas.

Lisa shot Lucas a pointed look. "Has the Moncada family fallen so low that they can't even come up with a decent birthday gift?"

Lucas' face darkened. He had caught a cold from the air conditioning the night before and had been feeling dizzy and groggy since he woke up. So, the task of preparing a gift for Marian had fallen to Chloe. His grandfather had emphasized how crucial this meeting was for them and even said there was no budget limit for the gift. Unexpectedly, Chloe had brought a box of homemade incense as a makeshift gift. If the casualness of the gift offended the Sartori family, the resort project would be dead in the water.

With a stern face, Lucas was about to scold her when Chloe spoke calmly.

"I heard that the reason you came to Riverbrook three years ago, was to rest because you had insomnia. This fragrance I made has soothing and sleep-aiding effects. I hope it can help alleviate your insomnia and headaches."

She had done some research at the office in the afternoon and found out about Marian's insomnia.

Lisa laughed sarcastically. "Isn't it just a spice blend? Don’t make it sound like a miracle cure. If aromatherapy could fix everything, what would we need hospitals for?"

At that moment, the redhead standing by Marian sniffed the edge of Chloe's box. "This isn't the traditional scent of Royal Immersed Rose. It also seems to have a hint of herbal fragrance too."

Chloe spoke indifferently. "I modified the traditional recipe and added several herbs like Acorus and night-blooming jasmine. They help soothe the mind, hence the herbal fragrance."

The redhead smiled at Marian. "Grandma, I quite like this fragrance. If you don’t want it, give it to me."
