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.”
