The IVF Secret That Shook a Dynasty novel Chapter 237

As she protested, she glanced at Joseph, hoping he would help her out of the awkward situation.

But instead of helping her refuse, Joseph simply nodded. “Just accept them,” he said calmly. “It’s a customary gesture. Don’t be rude to my uncle and aunt.”

“That’s right. It’s just a small welcome gift, and it’s the boy’s birthday. It’s the proper thing to do,” the elders insisted, pressing the boxes into her hands.

Vivica, unable to refuse any longer, had no choice but to accept.

But it didn't end there. Joseph's cousins and other relatives of his generation also came forward with their welcome gifts for Chaim.

“Just a little something to wish him a happy birthday and show him our love.”

Vivica was floored. She never imagined the truly wealthy expressed their affection so… bluntly.

Without lifting a finger, her net worth had just increased by a small fortune. Her face was starting to ache from smiling, but she could only continue to nod and graciously accept everything.

“Joseph, why don’t you help Vivica with those gifts? Then you can take her to the back garden to see how the birthday party setup is coming along. We’ll look after Chaim; we all adore him already.” Melanie’s face was wreathed in a genuine smile, a sign that she was slowly emerging from the fog of grief over losing her son.

Joseph nodded and turned to Vivica. “Let’s put these upstairs. You can take them with you when I drive you home later.”

Vivica bowed slightly to the elders before leaving with Joseph. As they walked up the stairs, she asked him, “Are your family members always this generous with their gifts?”
