The IVF Secret That Shook a Dynasty novel Chapter 472

"I'll let you know in advance once I nail down the exact time."

"Sounds good. Thank you, Mr. Baird," Raymond said, his voice thick with gratitude.

He knew that without Joseph playing the middleman, Vivica likely wouldn't have come around this quickly.

But hearing that "thank you" didn't bring Joseph any joy. Because he still wasn't entirely sure if this trip would be a joyous reunion for Vivica, or just another traumatic ordeal.

Hanging up the phone, Joseph turned around to find Vivica standing right behind him. She was wearing a sleek, low-cut black sweater that perfectly highlighted her slender, graceful neck. The emerald necklace rested against her collarbones, making her flawless skin look absolutely radiant. She was practically glowing. The matching earrings dangled from her earlobes, catching the light and sparkling brilliantly with every slight movement.

Catching his gaze, Vivica blushed a little and self-consciously touched the necklace. "What do you think? Does it look too old-fashioned on me?"

After all, this style of jewelry was incredibly opulent. It felt a bit too mature and regal for a younger woman.

Before Joseph could even speak, the manager quickly chimed in, "Not at all! It suits you perfectly, Mrs. Baird. It's elegant, glamorous, and absolutely stunning."

Joseph couldn't agree more. He rarely saw Vivica dress up. In truth, her natural elegance and beauty were unmatched among the socialites of Riverdale.

Her past burdens of simply surviving and enduring a miserable marriage had kept her light hidden, like a diamond covered in dust. Now, with just a little love and care, her inner beauty radiated outward, making even the most priceless jewels look like mere accessories to her charm.

He smiled, stepping closer and nodding. "It's beautiful. It's perfect for the holidays. It brings a touch of vibrant life to the winter season."

Vivica's cheeks flushed pink. She hadn't expected such a poetic compliment from him.

"We'll take this set. We still have other stores to hit, so let's keep moving," Joseph said decisively, paying for it without a second thought since it looked so good on his wife.
