The IVF Secret That Shook a Dynasty novel Chapter 649

Raymond's wife stared in absolute awe. "Seriously, I pay for eyelash extensions and they don't look that good."

"Here, Grandma didn't bring anything too extravagant, but I got each of you a christening locket."

Hillary turned, pulled a bag from the back of her wheelchair, and retrieved two velvet boxes.

Opening them revealed two solid gold christening lockets.

Hillary gently placed a locket on each baby.

"Grandma wishes you endless blessings, safety, and a lifetime of perfect health."

The second born, wide awake in Joseph's arms, seemed to think the shiny object was a toy. He instinctively reached out with a tiny hand, trying to grab it.

The third born, asleep in the stroller, perhaps sensing his grandmother's deep love, twitched his little lips and broke into a completely random, angelic smile in his sleep.

The surrounding adults laughed. "Look at this little guy! He already loves gold. He's smiling in his dreams."

Hillary then pulled out a third velvet box and looked at her eldest grandson.

"Chaim, come here." Hillary waved him over and personally fastened the gold locket around his neck.

"Grandma wishes you a life of peace, health, and endless happiness."

Just moments ago, when everyone was fussing over the new babies, Chaim had felt a tiny pang of being left out.

Especially when he saw his grandmother giving gifts to his brothers, he had even quietly taken a step back.

He never expected his grandmother had prepared one for him too.

Looking down at the gold locket resting on his chest, he might not have understood how expensive solid gold was, but he knew it was something very special. He reached up and touched it gently.

"Thank you, Grandma. I wish you perfect health too."

"What a good boy!" Hillary praised, affectionately stroking her eldest grandson's head.

Cheryl had also prepared gifts for all three children—beautifully crafted gold bracelets.

Watching the elders shower the kids with luxury, Vivica smiled helplessly. "They're way too young to understand any of this. You two spent way too much money."

"What's money for? It's about the symbolism. We're welcoming good fortune," Cheryl said with a laugh as she helped put the gifts on the boys.

"Vivica!"

From a short distance away, Quintina spotted her best friend and called out.

Vivica looked up, raised a hand with a smile, and turned to her elders. "Mom, Aunt Cheryl, you guys catch up. I'm going to go say hi to my friend."

"Go on, go on. Don't worry about us."

Vivica walked over to Quintina, only to be instantly roasted. "Damn, your body got even hotter after having kids. You didn't gain a single inch on your waist—everything went straight to the places that matter."

Vivica reached out and playfully pinched her. "Can you not open your mouth without making fun of me?"
