Lovely Baby Came to Me novel Chapter 60

Mr. and Mrs. Rogers didn’t seem to notice anything unusual as several people were sat in the drawing room.

Reeva handed a box that was on the table to Solomon.

“Solomon, this is a limited edition toy racing car that I have brought back with me for you from abroad. Do you like it?”

Reeva was aware of just how much Mr. and Mrs. Rogers and Hector doted on Solomon, so naturally she wanted to win favour with them by pleasing them.

Solomon glanced casually at the toy car, clearly not so impressed.

He really didn’t want a gift from this woman; because Miss Eloise was the only one he wanted.

Matriarch Rogers naturally knew what her grandson was thinking so she quickly stood up and said, “Thank you Reeva, Solomon likes it very much, however you don’t need to bring so many expensive gifts when you come again.”

“You are very welcome.”

Although Reeva had a smile on her face, she didn’t feel so good inside.

It seemed that this Master Solomon would not be so easy to handle.

After exchanging some more light conversations, Matriarch Rogers started to talk about the main business at hand.

“Hector, Reeva has just been home for a few days, she is going to take part in the company.”

Hector didn’t say anything and continued to listen to what his mother had to say, “Patriarch Lawson is afraid that she doesn’t have enough experience yet, so I’m hoping you can arrange a position for her in the company and that you can give her the chance to learn what she needs to learn. This is no problem, right?”

Hector nodded and pursed his lips as he said, “I will get the assistant to make the arrangements later.”

As she heard this, Reeva’s eyes lit up.

“Hector, sorry for troubling you.”

Hector didn’t respond to her and instead said as he checked the time, “Father, Mother, I have some things I must deal with later, so Solomon will stay here tonight.”

As he said this he got up and got ready to leave.

Matriarch Rogers nodded her head for she was naturally happy Solomon would be staying here.

Then at this moment Reeva also stood up and said, “It’s getting late so I also must be leaving, but I will come and visit you both another day.”

“Alright then! Just don’t bring so many gifts next time. By the way, Hector, would you mind giving Reeva a ride back home as it’s on your way.”

Hector’s lips tightened together, but he didn’t refuse.

The two of them left the Roger’s home together.

Inside the quiet car Reeva was looking at Hector when he suddenly heard her asking, “Hector, how have you been all these years?”

“Very well.” Hector replied with a cold tone.

Reeva felt a little let down, why hadn’t he then asked how she was doing?

Although Hector didn’t say anything else, Reeva didn’t give up and continued to find something they could talk about.

“By the way, I will be going to your company in the next few days. And if I do something wrong then please feel free to criticise me, don’t hold back just because of the friendship between us.”

“I know, I won’t.”

Seeing that he still possessed such an indifferent attitude, Reeva sighed feeling rather helpless.

She continued to find something to talk with Hector about but it seemed that Hector was simply unwilling to speak anymore.

They eventually reached the Lawson’s family house, and since Reeva felt reluctant to be parting from him she kept a smile on her face and asked, “Would you like to come in and sit down for a while? Grandpa kept reminiscing about you today with me.”

Hector’s lips tightened as he said, “Not today, there are still some things that I must attend to. I will come and visit Mr. Lawson next time.”

Reeva was disappointed by his answer, but decided to let it go.

“Alright then, have a safe journey.”

She slowly unfastened her seatbelt and got out of the car and watched as he drove away and still stood there sighed.
