The IVF Secret That Shook a Dynasty novel Chapter 544

"Yeah," Vivica sighed, offering a helpless smile. "I had no idea they prepared all of this until Cheryl delivered the trunk straight to our hotel."

Melanie looked at the items with a pang of guilt. "These are incredibly expensive. They really did not need to spend so much money."

"People in Glenburgh City and Sydville swear by these holistic supplements for maintaining their health," Vivica explained. "It works out perfectly. You and Dad can use them to boost your immune systems."

In truth, the Bairds already had stockrooms full of similar luxury items.

But since it was a heartfelt gesture from Vivica's family, Melanie accepted them graciously.

"Well, please thank your parents for us. Still, we cannot possibly consume all of this ourselves. Whenever the chef prepares a restorative soup, I will have the butler send some over to you and Joseph. You two are the ones who really need the nutritional boost."

"Alright, whatever you say." Vivica smiled sweetly, happy to humor her mother-in-law.

Quintina texted the address for the coffee shop. Once Vivica finished unpacking, she noticed Chaim was still full of energy, so the mother and son headed out again.

Melanie arranged for a driver to drop them off, allowing Vivica to sit in the back and keep Chaim company.

When they arrived at the cafe, Quintina waved eagerly from a distance.

Vivica led her son over to the table.

"Chaim, Happy Holidays! Come get your gift from your godmother!" Quintina teased the boy, waving a small envelope in the air.

Chaim was a smooth talker. "Thank you, Godmother! Happy Holidays to you, too. You look as beautiful as a movie star today."

Vivica stared at her son in total surprise.

Quintina's eyes widened in sheer delight. She looked at her best friend and asked, "Did you and Joseph teach him that?"

"Absolutely not."

Chaim proudly chimed in, "I heard someone else say it, so I learned it."

"Wow, my godson is a genius!" Quintina praised him endlessly, handing over the envelope.

"You probably do not even care about my little gift this year. Between your grandparents on both sides, you must have raked in tens of thousands of dollars, huh?"

Quintina was purely joking. There was no jealousy in her voice, only genuine admiration.

Being a child, Chaim did not fully understand the weight of the words. He was just thrilled to receive a present.

Vivica took her seat and looked at her friend. "Do not say that. A gift is about the thought behind it. You are single and do not have kids yet, so I feel guilty that I can never return the favor."

Quintina waved a hand dismissively.

"Stop it. We don't keep score like that. I am not about to rush into marriage and have a baby just to collect some holiday cash."

Vivica laughed, then let out a soft sigh. "You were right about one thing, though. Between his grandparents and a whole slew of older relatives, Chaim has received an overwhelming amount of cash gifts this year."

It was a level of treatment he had never experienced when he was part of the Sanford family.
