And The Daddy Is… The Infertile Guy?!

Chapter 234

Valor rocked up to Gwendolyn’s place with the back of his Cadillac sagging under the weight of dozens of gift boxes, a grand gesture to celebrate her return from a trip to the countryside retreat of Honeysuckle

He strode in, his cheeks flushed with health, decked out in a loud floral shirt, the picture of success. Valor had shaken off his secret ailments and was now walking on air. In the high–rolling social circles of Bayridge City, the gossip mills churned with tales of Valor’s escapades.

With his wealth, charm, and carefree nature, he had become a favorite in the social club scene.

Gwendolyn surveyed the extravagant botanical bounty sprawled across her floor and tried to decline the gifts, “Mr. Peterson, this is too much. Please, take them back.”

“No can do,” he boomed with a grin that stretched ear to ear, “When I give a gift, it stays given. Besides, I handpicked these for you.”

Valor, for all his personal peccadillos, was known to honor his debts.

Valor laughed heartily, “I swung by to spill some juicy news too. The Walker family has hit a streak of bad luck.”
