Chapter 267: Chapter 268

Chapter 268 Climb Into Her Bed Aylin was caught off guard when something was shoved into her arms.

Subconsciously, she reached out to take it over. When she raised her bracelet on her wrist glowed opulently under the sunlight.

Gavyn’s face instantly darkened.

Gavyn gave Aylin a deep look, with complex emotions accumulating in his eyes, but he did not say anything in the end. He just turned around and left.

Gavyn walked so fast as if he did not want to stay there any longer.

Aylin and Abby, an adult and a child, were left there, staring at each other. The former was stunned, stood in place, and could not recover her senses for a long time.

Did Gavyn just say... Happy Birthday to me? So, he comes here not to pick a fight but to give me a gift?

Aylin recalled the dirt marks on Gavyn’s shoes when he turned around just now and became even more surprised.

An elite individual like Gavyn, who only went to high-end places and even his attire was cared for by professionals, impossible to wear a pair of dirty leather shoes out.

Aylin then thought about the bodyguards, who had been quiet.

“No way.”

Aylin’s expression was subtle.

Did Gavyn climb over the wall and sneak in?

Abby blinked. “Aylin, why are you talking to yourself?”

Before Aylin could answer Abby, a high-pitched voice suddenly came from the stairway, “Holy shit! I just saw Gavyn Delacruz! Is there something wrong with my eyes?”

After Robert got up and went downstairs, he saw Gavyn leaving. He rushed downstairs, but unfortunately, the latter had already left.

“Aylin, did you see him?” Robert still could not believe it. He rubbed his eyes, and the hat on his head tilted into a question mark.

Aylin pursed her lips. “That’s him.”

Harry, who had also come down to get coffee, stopped in his tracks. His charming face darkened slightly. “Are you all talking about Gavyn? Is he here?”

“What the heck! This doesn’t make sense!”

Robert suddenly realized something was wrong. “How did he get in? Didn’t Aylin order that no one from the Delacruz family is allowed to visit us?”

Robert was furious at the security system that had errors. “Bodyguards! Where are the bodyguards? Come here quickly!”

Aylin did not stop Robert since she wanted to know what was happening.

A few burly men entered the house after they heard Robert call for them and bowed respectfully to him while trembling with fear.

Robert frowned, and his serious face was full of coercion. “Are you guys a bunch of idiots? What did I hire you for? How dare you let Gavyn in under your watch! Do you want to get fired?”

“W-What? Mr. Delacruz came in?”

The few bodyguards looked at each other. They could not figure out the reason, and they were astonished.

“Mr. Robert, we definitely didn’t let anyone who shouldn’t be in here come in. I saw his car leave just now with my eyes,” A bodyguard who had met Gavyn before explained in a hurry.

The bodyguards wondered how possible that could happen. They were guarding the entrance, and the yard was full of miniature cameras. They did not know how Gavyn could enter the Koch’s house without making a sound and be able to dodge the miniature cameras. They started to question if he was a member of the special forces.

In contrast, it seemed that the bodyguards were incompetent. They lowered their heads and dared not to look directly into Robert’s angry eyes.

“No point blaming them, Robert.”

Aylin smiled coldly, breaking the suffocating and awkward atmosphere. “Gavyn’s fighting skills are not like ordinary people’s. If he really wants to come in, ten of these bodyguards may not be able to defend against him.”

That hurts our feelings, Ms. Koch.

The few burly men were ashamed yet feeling touched at the same time. It was already a blessing for them that Aylin was willing to stand up for them.

“Scumbag!”

Robert frowned as if he was confronting his biggest enemy. “No! If ten people can’t stop him, then add ten more. We must guard against him! What if that jerk has evil intentions and climbs into Aylin’s bed one day?”

Aylin was speechless. She stretched out her hand and smacked Robert’s head. “What are you talking about? You jinx it!”

“I’m just worried!”

Robert held his head and moaned, “Ouch! Ouch!” He ran to the side of the table and said, “Our Aylin is so beautiful, and that guy is not a gentleman. Who knows what he’ll do? You don’t even stand up for me, Harry!”

Harry glanced at Robert expressionlessly. “Serves you right.”

Harry noticed the thing in Aylin’s arms and asked, “What are you holding?”

Abby learned to answer quickly, “It’s a gift from that man for Aylin.”

“So it’s a gift from Gavyn. Is he so kind?” Robert rolled up his sleeves, showing a future brother-in-law look. “Let me check the gift.”

Everyone came up to take a look and even invited Malcom along.

Aylin took out a large square box first and opened it. It turned out to be a delicate embroidery art.

Abby exclaimed, “Wow, it’s so beautiful...”

Not only Abby, everyone there was amazed by the embroidery art with exquisite workmanship. On it was a picture of playing the lute. Her lofty posture was vivid and lifelike as if a dancing beauty was right before their eyes.

Harry commented objectively, “It’s beautiful. But I’ve seen a lot of this kind of arts and crafts on set. So the value shouldn’t be too high.”

Although Robert was also amazed by it, he had limited knowledge about embroidery. He twitched his lips and said, “He just chose the easy way out. What good stuff can that guy give you? He doesn’t deserve Aylin at all.”

Aylin frowned and remained silent. She reached out and gently stroked that embroidery art. It was gentle and delicate to touch, so it should be correct. It was that piece of embroidery art she had her eyes on before.

Seeing Aylin had mixed feelings, Harry tilted his head and asked, “What’s wrong, Ayl?”

“This embroidery art uses an ancient technique called zardozi. It takes half a year to finish. The current market price is over seven figures.” Aylin’s red lips moved as she spoke.

“What?”

Robert took up the piece of embroidery art and eyed it up and down. “This needs seven figures?”

Harry, who had always been calm, was also slightly surprised and began to observe that piece of zardozi embroidery. They were not short of money, but they could not believe Gavyn would be so generous.

Businessmen were used to do more with less. If they gave out an expensive gift, they would inform the world grandiosely to show their generosity.

However, Gavyn did not do so. He drove here by himself and left after dropping off the gift. He was low-key and casual as if the seven figures were nothing to him.

“That’s impossible, isn’t it?” Robert and Harry looked at each other in confusion. “Is he out of his mind?”

Abby raised her little hand. “I know. He said happy birthday to Aylin. This is his birthday gift to her!”

Harry snorted. “I don’t think he’s so kind. One who has unaccountable solicitous is hiding evil intentions...”

Robert chimed in, “He’s up to no good!”

Aylin was amused as she watched them play off each other. In fact, she could not understand Gavyn’s actions.

After all, Aylin had never received a gift from Gavyn during their three years of marriage.

“Is it possible he’s here to make it up to you, Ms. Aylin?
