Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 219

Hunter took a closer look and felt it was indeed pretty good.

The man saw Hunter didn’t respond for a while and added, “Mr. Galeana, this is a rare find. Many people have asked us to keep an eye out for such antiques. They're so scarce that it usually takes a long time to find the right one. To get one in just a few days is pretty lucky.”

“Do you have a certificate of authenticity?” Hunter asked.

“Yes, our company has had it professionally appraised. It’s the real deal.” The manager handed the certificate to Hunter.

Hunter cracked a smile after looking at it, “Wrap it up for me then, I'll take this pair. Pack it nicely. It's a gift for my grandson,” Hunter instructed, his voice filled with cheer, clearly in a good mood.

“Rest assured, Mr. Galeana, we'll make sure you're pleased.” The manager said.

Silas was also satisfied and smiled, “Chairman, I think it's pretty good too. Ines should like it.”

“As long as you don’t say it’s from me, she’d refuse it otherwise with her stubbornness.” Hunter said.

Silas nodded, “Don’t worry, I know the drill.”

“Is Emma confirmed to be having a single baby?” Hunter asked again.

“Yes, the baby's gender has been confirmed. It's a girl.” Silas said.

Hunter's expression grew serious, “How did the Ramos family react?”

“The elders of the Ramos family were naturally not very pleased, but they didn’t say much.”

“I told her not to marry into that family, but she insisted. What good can come out of a family that favors boys over girls?” Hunter said.

Seeing Hunter getting worked up, Silas advised, “Please don’t worry too much. She’s already married, and you’ve tried to talk her out of it. She didn’t listen.”

Ines watched the people not far away with mixed emotions. Silas had said he would come back today, she hadn’t expected to run into him here. He looked much better, but seemed to have lost some weight.

He started shopping as soon as he got back.

Phoebe also overheard their conversation. The twins Hunter was talking about were obviously Ines. Hunter was picking out gifts for the kids. He was quite sincere, hunting for antiques with such a big budget.

Camela also laughed and said, “Izzy, some twins are indeed like this. They like to be together at the beginning, and you can't separate them, or they'll fuss all day.”

Ines smiled slightly, “I see.” Seeing a glimmer of hope, the salesperson continued to explain, “This crib is made of the best natural wood. If you smell it, there's a subtle fragrance. It's breathable and can regulate temperature and humidity. The paint on it is also lead-free and non-toxic. It won't harm the baby's health.”

Seeing Ines was interested, Phoebe immediately bought it and picked out a stroller in the same store. Ines left the Meyer family's address, asking the store to deliver it in a few days.

When they came out, they ran into Emma arguing with a lady in her fifties. The two of them were having a heated discussion and both looked extremely upset.

Phoebe sneered, “This hypocritical sister sure has a knack for running into us. We bumped into her while shopping last time, and here she is again. You should remember that woman, she's Aiden's mother.”

Ines watched their interaction, which didn't seem to be pleasant.

“Let's go and ignore them. They're annoying to even look at.” Phoebe said, linking arms with Ines.

Just as the three of them were about to leave, they saw the lady rudely push Emma, who was pregnant. Emma was caught off guard and fell to the ground, one hand propping her up and the other clutching her belly.

The lady bent down to help Emma up. But Emma, clearly furious, jerked her hand away. The lady, not one to be trifled with, glared at Emma and walked away in annoyance.
