Chapter 259

Chapter 259

The holiday season was a much-needed break for the couple as they finally got to spend several days with James without worrying about the office. Unfortunately, the vacation period eventually ended, and they returned to their regular routine. The only difference now was that sometimes James accompanied Jayden to the office since Deborah was too busy to bring him along due to the influx of new clients. Even Eric was swamped with paperwork, leaving no one to look after the little boy.

At the construction company, preparations were already underway for the major projects planned out for the year. This meant Jayden's vacation time was coming to an end, and sadly, he hadn't been able to spend as much time with his beloved as he had hoped. That morning, Jayden had one of the rare days when he needed to go to the office to handle some pending matters. Since Samantha was busy, James had to tag along with his dad.

"Ah... gaa..." James happily gazed out the window at the passing scenery.

"I know, son. Mommy's been so busy all month, and it looks like this new one will be the same," Jayden said, a little sadly, letting out a sigh.

"Cheer up,

boss. The bright side is that you know where she is," Max, who was driving that day. cd in.

"Maybe, but I miss my Deb," Jayden pouted. "Where did those days go when she used to cook for me, wait for me at home, or call me to bring her something she was craving?" "Come on, boss, don't get down. She's just getting ahead on work because the wedding is coming up, and she wants to be free for the month you'll be away on your honeymoon."

"True, that's the one good thing. Although that selfish David hasn't let me see her dress."

"Uh... well, it has to be something special."

"You're not helping."

"Right. So, what do you have planned for Valentine's Day?"

"Huh?" Jayden looked at him, puzzled.

"Yeah, remember? Friday is February 14th."

"Oh no! I completely forgot!"

James giggled at the sight of his dad's exaggerated expressions.

"Don't laugh, son," Jayden pouted. "But you're right, this would be the perfect day to kidnap her from the office and spend it together."

"That sounds like a good idea."

"But..." Jayden checked his phone. "It's Wednesday... do you think I'll replace anything available?"

"We can try. I don't think all the restaurants and hotels are fully booked yet."

"You're right. As soon as we get to the office, I'll put my secretary to work replaceing everything I need," Jayden said, starting to form a plan in his mind. "I'll also need your help because I want to buy her a beautiful dress, shoes, and jewelry." +25 BONUS

"As long as it doesn't involve lingerie, I'm in."

"Obviously I'll be the one buying that," Jayden said, frowning.

""Right, um... forget I mentioned it."

"You really want me to dock half your pay, don't you?"

"Not at all, boss," Max replied nervously.

"Anyway, getting back to the topic, you'll also need to order a bouquet for her and a special arrangement to be delivered to her office." "Understood."

"Ah... buuu..." James was quietly playing with his stuffed toy while listening to his dad talk.

With the plan set in his mind, Jayden asked his secretary to help get everything he needed for a romantic Valentine's Day with his partner.

Unfortunately, luck wasn't on his side; the dress he wanted was sold out, the florists were no longer taking orders, and every single restaurant and hotel was fully booked.

"Are you serious?" Jayden asked, frustrated. "Nothing?"

"Sorry, boss..." his secretary said, "It seems like Valentine's Day is going to be really popular this year. A lot of things were pre-ordered."

"Nooo...

"I'm sorry, boss, I'm in the same boat," Max added. "The boutiques said all the red dresses are already sold out."

"Damn... I wanted to surprise her."

"Boss, the lady loves you so much that I'm sure she'll be happy even with a simple box of chocolates because it's from you," his secretary encouraged him.

"I guess... but it's not what I had in mind," Jayden said, feeling dejected.

Everyone tried to lift Jayden's spirits, helping him make a romantic card and buying a box of fine chocolates for him to give her.

Jayden turned to the internet, replaceing inspiration for a romantic poem to include in his card. He also found chocolates shaped like roses and decided to decorate them specially for her.

And so, Friday arrived, but the morning didn't start well, Deborah had left early for a meeting with a client.

"Man... we woke up all alone," Jayden said sadly, noticing James was the only one beside him in bed. "Good morning, my boys," Samantha greeted, entering the room with a gift for each of them.

"Good morning-uh, what's that?" Jayden asked, noticing his mother handing him a small heart-shaped

box.

"It's for you. Happy Valentine's Day," she said, giving it to him. "And this is for you, my sweet boy," she said, handing James a plastic heart filled with tiny beads that made noise when shaken. +25 BONUS

James immediately shook his gift, giggling with delight.

"Aww... I'm glad you like it, sweetie. And guess what," she said, picking him up, "today you'll be spending the day with us so your mommy and daddy can enjoy their special day, right?" She looked at her son. "Um..." Jayden averted his gaze.

"Don't worry, I know it's your day. So go have fun. By the way, breakfast is ready," she said, turning toward the door. "Guess what, James? Today, we're going to play a lot, all three of us." "Ah... hahaha." James giggled as his grandma tickled him.

Jayden smiled, watching his son get stolen away by his grandma. Then, he frowned at the sight of those chocolates, realizing he hadn't prepared anything for his mother.

"Ah, I know..." he said, his mood brightening as he looked out at the garden, planning to cut some flowers just like he did when he was a kid to give to her.

With that in mind, he quickly changed out of his pajamas and hurried outside with a pair of scissors to start cutting some flowers.

Just as he was about to snip some roses, he saw a delivery truck pull up with a large floral arrangement, which had a sign that read: Happy Valentine's Day, Mommy. Curiosity and jealousy got the better of him, and he approached to see who the arrangement was for.
