Chapter 489

The Whitmores were definitely not strapped for cash. They were practically rolling in dough.

But I wasn’t exactly a pauper myself. After selling my company, I was living the life of luxury, even more so than before. If my parents took over Lucas’s company, they would be even better off.

So, the dilemma wasn’t about money. It was about Neil’s unease.

He could never find it within himself to ever like Serena and Brandon. No matter how adorable they appeared, just the thought of whose children they were, made his blood boil.

“There’s no need for any formalities. But if you ever want to see the kids, you’re welcome to drop by,” I refused Faith’s request. Given the complex circumstances, it wouldn’t be wise to publicize this.

Faith’s face fell in disappointment as she looked down at Serena in her arms and let out a sigh.

At that moment, Ryan brought out two boxes, “Here, these are our gifts for Serena and Brandon. You should keep them.”

Upon opening the boxes, I found two beautiful pairs of golden bracelets.

They had already given Serena and Brandon gifts when they first saw them. Now they were giving golden bracelets. I felt a bit overwhelmed.

It wasn’t about the money, but the feeling of being overly pampered.

“Just put them on the kids now,” Faith didn’t wait for my response. Instead, she took out a pair of bracelets and put them on Serena, who was in her arms.

The golden bracelets looked beautiful and luxurious against Serena’s fair skin. The more Faith looked, the more satisfied she felt with her choice.
