Chapter 818 The First Time She Received His Surprise

Having a child was not something Whitney could decide by herself.

“All right, all right, I’ll stop teasing you now, or else Charles is going to scold me again. Let’s and see what Lucas and Charles have prepared for you.”

до downstairs

Whitney thought about removing the necklace around her neck, but Jasmine kept chattering away, not giving her the chance to do so.

Upon reaching the hall, Lucas and Charles were seated together, engrossed in a discussion..

Jasmine tapped the coffee table impatiently and said. “Hey, can’t you two talk about this tomorrow? Don’t you know what day it is today? It’s Whitney’s birthday! Where are your gifts?”

She then added, “Besides, Charles, considering you’re Whitney’s husband and the one who brought us here, you must have already prepared a gift for her, right? I heard from Whitney that you were the one who remembered her birthday.”

Upon hearing her words, Whitney immediately tensed up and clenched her hands tightly.

Charles reclined on the sofa and narrowed his eyes. He playfully curled his lips and remarked, “Do I need your approval for the gift I prepared my wife? It’s meant for us as a couple to share. It’s not something at single woman like you would understand.”

“Tsk! Still keeping secrets, huh?” Jasmine scoffed and rolled her eyes before draping her arm around Whitney’s shoulder. “See this necklace on Whitney’s neck? I gave it to her. It’s a global limited edition, one for each of us.”

She then turned to Lucas and asked, “What about you, Lucas? What have you prepared for Whitney?”

Lucas lightly cleared his throat and presented a black and gold VIP card to Whitney. “Whatever I can give, so can Charles. This card is for an automotive dealership under my name. If you have time, you can go pick a

car you like and customize it however you want.”

They’re from a wealthy family, all right. The gifts they give are notably lavish.

At the thought of that, Whitney felt that the card in her hand was particularly heavy.

Jasmine leaned in close to her ear and said, “Whitney, let me tell you, Lucas’s car dealership is top-notch. in Chanaca. They have all the cars that are hard to find elsewhere. Make sure to choose one you really like. and don’t be shy about it.”

Umm…

Whitney suddenly felt the weight of the gift in her hand increase.
