Curtis smiled, "Your wife told my wife about that. She mentioned that you were going to pay the down payment for a sea-view house."


    ir exchanged a nce with Wesley, and nodded. She did tell Colleen about their n to buy a sea-view house, but she didn''t expect them to give her one.


    It was an expensive gift.


    ir didn''t think that Wesley would ept it. However, after hearing Curtis'' exnation, Wesley grabbed the keys and handed them to ir. "Keep them."


    "But..." ''This is just too much. How can I ept it?'' ir thought, baffled.


    He patted her hand to reassure her. "They tricked arge fortune out of me when they got married. Damon took one of my precious weapons, which is out of production now. It''s more valuable than the car he gave you."


    If that was the case, ir thought it might be okay to ept their gifts. She nodded and took the keys from Wesley.


    Next came the CEO. Carlos asked casually, "So, you''re not going back to work in Y City?"


    "We n on settling down here, in A Country," Wesley said. He and ir had discussed it earlier. They wanted to stay by their parents'' side and raise their kid here, alongside them.


    Carlos nodded understandingly. He took out a folder, put it on the rotary table and gave the table a twirl. When the folder was in front of ir, he said to Wesley, "Your wife is a trantor, isn''t she? I have set up a trantionpany in A Country." He then looked at ir. "You will be the legal representative. Take it."


    Wesley fell silent again, for much longer this time. Everyone looked at him mischievously, waiting for his reaction. Finally, he broke the silence and spoke. "You guys are doing this on purpose, aren''t you?"


    "Yes." Carlos smirked.


    Wesley turned to ir. "Honey, return all the gifts." He then scanned his friends and added, "I will buy my wife everything she wants. I can afford them. Do you have to make me look bad?"


    And they all seemed to know what his wife wanted and liked! He sulked at the thought.


    ir put all the keys and the folder on the table.


    Damon teased, "ir, you''re such an obedient wife. But, don''t listen to him this time."


    ir shook her head. "To be honest, I think that your gifts are all way too expensive. I agree with Wesley; we should return them to you."


    Damon guffawed, "Do you know what your husband gave Carlos on his wedding day?"


    ir nodded. Although she wasn''t staying with Wesley at the time, she knew that he had given Carlos arge sum of money as gift. She just didn''t know the exact amount.


    "USD 6, 660, 000. That''s more than en


    and swollen.


    While everybody was having breakfast, he called his wife andined, "Honey, you know what? Last night, after you left, these people didn''t care about me at all. They just let me fight a stone lion in my drunken state. My hands are bruised..."


    The Li family members had a heartyugh.


    After breakfast, Wesley went to work. ir and their son were the only ones at home.


    They looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Gifford only knew that ir was his mommy, but that was all. He didn''t know what "Mommy" meant to him. Ever since his birth, his mommy had been lying in bed, and then after she woke up, she was weak and had to recover her health. So, most of the time, the little boy was taken care of by his grandparents and dad. He was closer to Wesley than ir.


    She felt sad and her eyes brimmed with tears. When she had finally woken up from her long sleep, their son was already over a year old. Now, he was almost two, but she still hadn''t done anything that a mother was supposed to do. Wesley did everything. Her heart ached. She stepped forward and tried to interact with her son. "Hi baby. I''m your mommy."


    The little boy nodded and called out sweetly, "Mommy..."


    "Do you know Mommy''s name?"


    "Yes. ir."


    She smiled widely. "Are you hungry? Want to eat something?"


    "No." He shook his head. The little boy was so adorable! ir loved him.


    "Shall we go out and have some fun? What do you think?"


    "Yay!" The little boy jumped with joy, and then added, "I… protect you."


    ir chuckled under her breath. "I''m the one who should protect you. You are my little boy." ''My two-year-old boy said that he would protect me. How cute!'' She was amused by her own son''s words.
