Chapter 264 Baby Shower
1 Kaufmann Residence
Ayden drove Braxton home from the Kaufmann Group at three in the afternoon.
As the car approached the gate, they saw the black car that had been there since morning and hadn’t moved an inch.
Ayden was shocked. “Does Monaghan really not care about his family’s business anymore?”
Braxton pressed his lips together as a hint of annoyance laced his face.
He looked thoughtfully at Radley’s car. It had been almost a month since the initial visit, and then Radley had been waiting here every day.
Braxton didn’t know where Radley was getting all this patience.
“Let’s go inside,” he said.
man had
He used to feel furious at the mention of Radley, wishing he could skin him alive. After all, the once bullied his precious sister. But lately, seeing Radley’s demeanor, it seemed like he was genuinely m love.
Braxton frowned, hesitating whether he should continue to stand in the way.
Meanwhile, Ayden softly said as he drove the car. “Men who can do this nowadays are rare, especially someone like Radley.”
“What about him? My sister’s Freya,” Braxton grumbled.
“A while back, to ensure the family’s safety and let Freya rest at home during her postpartum period, we doubled the number of security personnel at home.” Braxton hesitated, “After the baby shower in a while we can remove them.”
“Okay.” Ayden smiled.
On the second floor of the Kaufmann Residence, the baby was sleeping in the crib.
Freya sat on a recliner next to the bed, chatting with Isabella on her phone.
Her phone beeped, and Freya checked it to find a message from Edward.
How have you been lately, Freya? Are you doing well?” he asked.
Freya chuckled and replied. Tm doing fine here.”
After thinking for a moment, she took a picture of the baby and sent it along with a text. Your nephew
So adorable! Edward replied before adding, Freya, my brother has already told me about his job Thank you for your help. Thanks to you, he can now work at Kaufmann Group”
Freva chuckled softly. Your brother has it in himself.”
After chatting with Edward for a while, Freya switched to another interface and coptmord chatine w Isabella
During dinner Freya casually asked Braxton. “Brax. what posinon does Jamie Fraser currently hold at the votspany?”
At the mention of Jamie. Braxton smiled with satisfaction.
He’s good in his personal abilities and interactions. I’ve already made him my assistant. Once he gets the hang of things. Ayden can move to another position.
Sylvia, who was sitting next to them, added, “Good idea. Ayden has been with you for so many years. Hes capable of handling even better positions. It’s just hard to find someone as trustworthy as him.”
“Brax, you must thoroughly investigate your personal assistant. Don’t rush to promote Ayden We need to thoroughly understand Jamie Fraser’s background before making any decisions, Freya reminded her
brother.
Freya trusted Edward, but that didn’t mean she would trust everyone in the Fraser family.
As they continued with their dinner, Sylvia brought up the topic of the baby shower. “For Jolly’s baby shower, I think it’s best to invite fewer people. Just invite your friends, and we can host a small reception at
home.”
Freya gave birth to Jolly on October 25th, but due to her recovery at home, the baby shower got postponed by a month.
Sylvia was particularly fond of her grandson, and she had been overseeing the preparations at the Kaufmann Residence for several days already.
Freya and Sylvia had the same idea. In Caltun, many affluent families would invite influential figures from the city for their child’s baby shower. However, Freya didn’t enjoy socializing with unfamiliar people.
Though the two ladies didn’t plan to invite too many people, the Kaufmanns had been a prominent presence in Caltun for years, and only the Monaghans could compete with them.
With the recent turmoil within the Monaghan Group, many believed that the Kaufmann family would become the leading powerhouse in Caltun. So, to Freya’s surprise, uninvited guests also showed up
On the day of Jolly’s baby shower, most of Freya’s friends had arrived.
Isabella, Brisa, and even Edward, who was surprised to receive an invitation from Freya arrived at the Kaufmann Residence early.
The Kaufmann Residence was bustling with excitement, Although they had initially invited only about twenty to thirty people, the number of guests that showed up was three to four times that
Freya couldn’t avoid mingling with some unfamiliar faces.
our the
Solt Vincent, the newly appointed head of the Vincent family, the internationally renowned Ava, and
many others brought gifts. Even to Freya’s surprise. Wilson from Itermia had somehow heard event and sent generous gift
However, one person was conspicuously absent from this celebration
Freya’s gaze swept across the room.
Hadley who had been waiting at the Kaufmann Residences gate almost daily, was mising tits day
he could openly enter the residence Yet he hadn’t shown up
Freyas heart skipped a beat Before the event started, she had already decided that if Radiey came, die would hide and let her mother and brother entertain him.
Can it be that Radley.. knew today was an important day for Jolly and that I didn’t want to see him, so he purpoety stayed away? she wondered.
As the baby shower was ending, Braxton, concerned about Freya’s well-being, asked her to rest in her room. He took charge of seeing off all the guests, allowing her to leave the event early
Meanwhile, Radley sat on the black sofa in the living room of Smalzot Yard while Connor stood in front of him, bowing his head. Tm sorry, Mr. Monaghan. We’ve checked both Vroria and Caltun General Hospital but we haven’t found any reason for Miss Freya’s sudden refusal to see you.”
Although it was just afternoon, all the living room curtains were drawn, dimming the room.
Radley’s gaze was distant. “Has her baby’s baby shower finished?”
“We just received the message. It has just ended, and Braxton is now seeing off the guests, Connor replied
Radley nodded and leaned back on the sofa.
His handsome face was now clouded, and he stared at the ceiling, lost in thought for a moment.
Why did Freya suddenly refuse to see me? She said she would try to be with me when we were dating. Can it be the she realized she didn’t love me at all after we started dating?!
Radley closed his eyes in anguish.
“However, Mr. Monaghan, I’ve had a lingering doubt,” Connor spoke up, furrowing his brows,
Radley’s voice turned cold. “Speak.”
“Miss Kaufmann is pregnant with Matthew Hood’s child, but there hasn’t been much reaction from the Hoods at all, even when she has already given birth. And the business between the Kaufmanns and the Hoods is still ongoing…”
It felt off. If Matthew had truly abandoned her, the Kaufmanns wouldn’t continue cooperating with the Hoods so generously in various ventures.
Radley opened his eyes, his voice slightly hoarse. “Look into it.”
