The Ex and Her Riches 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.”

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.

As they were conversing, a few housekeepers walked in, carrying a large box of fresh flowers.

“Mr. Charles, these are the flowers you ordered.”

Vibrant red roses came into Whitney’s view, and a look of astonishment appeared on her face. Did…
Did Charles arrange this for me? Are these from the flower shop we were just at?

“Not bad, Charles, you finally know how to be romantic. I think I’ve had my share of lovey-dovey
moments, so let’s just keep the birthday celebration tonight to just the two of you. Lucas and I will take
our leave now. We won’t intrude on your private time.”

Upon saying that, Jasmine playfully raised an eyebrow at Whitney before pulling Lucas away, leaving
the two of them alone.”



Aside from the bustling housekeepers, only Charles and Whitney remained in the spacious living room.
An awkward silence soon filled the air.

Whitney stood beside him, unsure whether to sit or remain standing.

“What’s wrong? Are you unhappy?” Charles asked.

Meeting his scrutinizing gaze, Whitney immediately responded with the brightest smile she could
manage and nodded with sincerity. “I love it, truly. Thank you. Now that Jasmine and Lucas are gone,
you can go ahead with your tasks if you have any. You don’t need to keep me company.”

After Whitney finished speaking, Charles immediately stood up and headed upstairs.

Even though he maintained a chilly demeanor, the fact that he had sent her flowers that day left her
feeling content.

The red roses were dazzlingly vibrant, their beauty almost overwhelming. Each flower also held a tiny
pearl in its heart, making the whole box unusually heavy.

Whitney’s lips curved into a genuine smile as she expressed her heartfelt delight. She took out her
phone and meticulously photographed the bouquet from multiple angles, preserving the memory.

Charles, who had already gone upstairs, gazed at the young woman in the living room through the
study’s surveillance screen. She was capturing the bouquet from various angles in different poses, and
this scene lifted his mood considerably.

I can’t believe such a simple gift could make her so happy. She’s quite easy to please.

Nevertheless, Jasmine’s words reminded him that he should prepare a gift for her.

What should I prepare?



Charles scrolled through the contacts in his phone, pondered for a moment, and ultimately chose to
dial. Gwendolyn’s number.

Meanwhile, the woman in question was playing games with her two children.

Upon hearing the phone ring, Zendaya was the first to pick it up and answer.

“Who is it, and what business do you have with Mommy?” she asked.

When Charles heard the soft and childish voice, his tone softened as he said, “Zendaya, it’s me, Uncle
Charles.”

“Oh, hi, Uncle Charles. I’ll give the phone to Mommy right away,” came Zendaya’s sweet reply.

Gwendolyn took the phone and held both children in her arms. “What is it?”

Upon hearing the woman’s voice, Charles hesitated briefly, then regained his composure and asked in
a serious tone, “It’s not anything particular. I just wanted to ask you what would be an appropriate
birthday gift for a girl?”

“Is it for your girlfriend?” Gwendolyn inquired.

“Yeah.”

Upon hearing this, Gwendolyn began offering him advice and suggesting various gift ideas.

From her previous interactions, she could tell that Whitney was a good girl and was genuinely fond of
Charles. She might just be the perfect match for him.

The two of them talked about the gift for quite a while when Benedict abruptly snatched the phone and
said coldly, “Charles, if you want to give your wife a gift, just ask her what she wants. Stop wasting my



mom’s time.”

At that, he immediately hung up the phone.

Gwendolyn chuckled. “All right, you two little rascals, playtime is over for today. Let’s get ready to head
home. Zendy still needs to go to kindergarten tomorrow, so let’s not tire her out too much today. She
needs to get plenty of sleep.”

Benedict snorted disdainfully. “Zendaya is such a fool. I can’t believe she still needs to learn those
childish lessons in kindergarten.”

Upon hearing this, Zendaya immediately hopped onto Benedict and let out a roar before sinking her
teeth into her brother’s shoulder.

“You’re so mean, Benny! If you dare to tease me again, I’ll spill the beans about the time you cried your
heart out in the middle of the night!” she exclaimed.

“Well, you just did!” came Benedict’s retort.

Zendaya stuck out her tongue at him in response.

While the two little ones were bickering back and forth, Gwendolyn just stood by, laughing. Just as
Cedrick had finished dealing with business matters at the company and approached the door of the
ward, he could hear the sounds of laughter and merriment coming from inside.

“What’s making everyone so happy?”

Upon hearing Cedrick’s voice, Zendaya immediately ran over with a wronged expression and hugged
his leg to complain, “Daddy, Benny is looking down on me, saying that what I’m learning now is
childish. Shouldn’t you teach him a lesson?”



Cedrick bent down and scooped his beloved daughter into his arms before asking with a mischievous
grin. “I can be quite harsh when it comes to teaching someone a lesson. Are you sure you want me to
help you punish your brother, Zendy?”

“Um…” Zendaya furrowed her brows, instantly feeling conflicted.

She had always been deeply worried about her brother’s fragile health and couldn’t bring herself to let
their father punish him severely, even if he deserved it.

After much hesitation, she timidly extended a small finger and suggested, “How about just a light
punishment, then?”
