Chapter 33 Great Gifts (1)

"Sorry, I can't come tonight to the birthday party. Please don't waste your time to find me. After some time I will answer your questions, but for now, don't try to find me."

Apparently, Rain sent this message to…

Charles (His father)

Carla (His mother)

Mark (His butler)

Kaya (His sister)

Emma (His fiancée)

After seeing this massage, everyone's reaction was different.

[Charles' POV]

"You bastard! Son of the bitch!…"

But he was interrupted by his wife, who was fiercely staring at him.

"Darling…. Who are you calling a bitch?"

Carla just asked without any expression innocently. However, Charles got a cold sweat on his back like he was standing before an apex monster.

Now Charles was like,

"He is telling us not to find him, but where the hell he is?"

He was worried about how Rain went somewhere. He might get hurt.

Carla just worriedly said,

"I just hope he is safe and will come back home soon." She was worried about Rain. "and you better don't scold him when he returns. Right?" She glared at Charles and looking at that gaze Charles got cold sweat.

"Y-Yes." He nodded.

[Emma's POV]

"Oh… So he will not come today. Then where he would be?

Still, who cares about that now? I will just enjoy the party and go home early."

[Kaya's POV]

"Ehhh… So will he not come?

But why?

Where is he?

Why did he say not to find him?

Maybe he is still injured?

But didn't his injury heal?

Something is weird.

But who cares, let's just spread rumors."

She was very curious about all of this.

Soon some rumors started spreading like…

Rain hurt himself during training.

Rain is scared to come to the party.

Rain is not at home.

Rain looks down on others, etc.

If Rain was here, he would think,

"Who the hell came up with this dumb shit?"

[Mark's POV]

"Sigh… Young master would be so lonely alone. There might be some reason for this. Let's wait."

Although Mark's guess was right that Rain was alone however it was for different purposes.

In the Party Hall, there was an air of anticipation as everyone eagerly waited for Rain to arrive so that the party could begin.

The hall was beautifully decorated with balloons, streamers, and colorful lights, adding to the festive atmosphere.

However, as time went on, the party was already running late, causing some individuals to become irritated and angry.

They felt like their time was being wasted, and they began to wonder when the party would finally start.

As they waited, some people began to indulge in the food and drinks that were set out on the tables.

Others chatted amongst themselves, trying to figure out what was causing the delay. There was a sense that something was unusual, and this only added to the tension in the room.

Suddenly, Charles appeared, causing everyone to turn their attention to him.

He announced that Rain was sick and would not be able to attend the party. Apparently, Rain had overexerted himself while training, and this had led to his illness. The news shocked many people, and negative rumors began to circulate about what could have caused Rain's illness.

Despite the disappointment of Rain's absence, people began to enjoy themselves as the party continued.

Gifts were exchanged, and blessings were bestowed upon Rain.

Charles graciously accepted the gifts on Rain's behalf, thanking everyone for their kindness. The party was meant to celebrate Rain's birthday, yet he was unable to attend.

After several hours of merriment, the party finally came to an end. The staff of the Holmes Family began to clean up the drawing hall, picking up the discarded decorations and wiping down the tables.

Although the party didn't go exactly as planned, people still managed to have a good time and celebrate Rain's birthday.

However, as the night progressed, many of the guests started leaving early, and only a handful of people stayed behind in the mansion.

Among them was Emma, who had no choice but to stay reluctantly since her parents were also staying there.

As the night grew later, but Rain didn't come back yet. Charles and Carla decided to look for him tomorrow through their secret network. Although Carla was still worried, she decided to wait for some as Rain might return.

Some of the other people were worried however in the end, they also went to bed thinking Rain would return soon.

However, In the early hours of the morning, around 5 am, the phones of five individuals, Charles, Carla, Emma, Kaya, and Mark, all began to ring simultaneously, sounding like alarms.

Drowsy and half-asleep, they checked their phones to find a message. The message was similar to the one they had received the previous day from the same app and person. Rain Holmes.

And the content was...

"Good morning, I left a gift for you in my room. Collect it from Mark."

Although they were initially disoriented and thought it might be a dream, they soon realized that it was a genuine message from Rain.

Curiosity piqued, they began to walk towards Rain's room while thinking about something. There were many questions in their mind.

What's a return gift?

Did he come back?

Why didn't he come to the party?

Where was he?

What was he doing?

And only Rain can answer their questions now.

Meanwhile, on the other side,

Rain was fast asleep, completely oblivious to the chaos he had caused.

He was enjoying the warmth and comfort of his bed, lost in his dreams.

"…so…comfy…"

Rain snuggled in his bed.
