NovelEnglishChapter 771 "This bracelet is considered the Schumans' heirloom. I heard that it cfrom a palace and was later passed on to laypeople. At the time, the head of the Schumans bought the bracelet and gave it to the current mistress at the time. As the Schumans had contributed greatly to the country, the bracelet got to stay. It was passed down from generation to generation. When it cto your generation, it was supposed to be passed on to the daughter-in-law, but Yvonne surprisingly passed it on to you. Everyone at the banquet was shocked at the time." I listened intently to what she was saying and touched the bracelet.
I did not know the value of this bracelet at the time, so I accepted it when Yvonne gave it to me. Now that I had learned about it, I honestly felt that I should not have accepted the bracelet.
Seeing that I kept staring at the bracelet without a word, Cassey asked carefully, "You're not thinking of sending the bracelet back, are you?" It seemed like she had more or less understood my personality. It was surprising tothat she was able to guess what I was currently thinking.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI was about to speak when Cassey's phone rang.
She pulled out her phone from her purse and answered it. I got up and walked to the side out of courtesy. This mall was the largest in the city center. There were many shoppers every day. As there were all kinds of goods of various price ranges here, the spending power between the shoppers was largely different too.
I observed the passersby aroundand suddenly felt suffocated by the hustle and bustle. My chest felt stuffy. Zenon's mall would never see this many shoppers around. Moreover, most of the items were sold by the side of the road. Anyone who needed to buy something could just buy it while they were passing by on their way hfrom work.
As it was a small county, many people knew each other, so when they bumped into someone they knew while shopping, they would chat while they shopped. It was lively yet peaceful at the stime.
While I was thinking about it, Cassey put the phone next to my ear and teased. "Your husband called." My husband? Theo? I was a little dumbfounded and asked unsurely," Theo?" "It's me." The man's voice rang out in my ears, gentle yet attractive. "I couldn't reach you because your phone is off so I called Miss Louis instead." I fished out my phone from my pocket and took a look. As expected, my phone had run out of battery and it switched off automatically.
"I asked Miss Louis and she toldthat you're only wearing a thin layer of clothes. Why didn't you wear more layers when you went out? It won't be good if you catch a cold." Theo sounded dissatisfied.
I did not feel impatient by his nagging but instead felt warmness in my heart.
He had so many things to do in the company but still took tto ask if I had worn enough layers. He was already meticulous enough now and could easily warm my heart.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen I saw Cassey smiling at me, my cheeks felt a little hot. I replied in a lowered voice, "I wore a thin layer because it didn't feel cold outside. Besides, there are heaters in the car and in the mall, so I won't catch a cold." Theo chuckled. "Alright, I'll spare you from my nagging this time, but remember to wear more layers o f clothes when you leave the door next time, okay?" I hummed a reply softly. "Alright."
"Good girl." Theo's voice was incredibly gentle. "I'm getting off very soon and will pick you up after that I've deposited smoney in your card. Just buy whatever you want. Don't save money for me." Read ivon youngo off work the latest chapter there!
I smirked. When I saw the teasing smile on Cassey's face quickly but on a straight face. "Alright. I'll hang up now." After hanging up, I returned Cassey her phone.
She tossed her phone in her purse and snorted softly. "It's not nice to be forced to watch your lovey-dovey acts." X
