“Mmph...” A soft, needy sound rose out of her throat before she could stop it. Then a crimson blush
came over Gwendolyn's face.
I can't believe that sound came out of me! If they bring it up, I definitely won't admit to it.
That sound was so flirtatious and seductive.
Ahh! This is so embarrassing! How am I going to face Liam and Larry?
In contrast to her embarrassment, Patrick was smiling with satisfaction. That was because the sound
that she had made was proof of his skill.
“By the way, you can keep Starry Tears. It's my gift to you. You're not allowed to sell it, do you
understand? I want you to wear it every day,” instructed Patrick.
That was his only request for Gwendolyn. He knew she was a money-grubber and might sell off the
necklace.
He liked the meaning behind the necklace—eternal love. That was also his intention for them both. If
Gwendolyn sold off the necklace, they would not be able to achieve that anymore.
Hearing his words, Gwendolyn felt a little disappointed. It was a pity that she could not sell it off, as the
necklace would only be for viewing and not wearing.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe protested, “But I don't dare to wear it. It's so valuable. What if I attract the attention of jewel thieves
if I wear it?”
Hearing that, Patrick chuckled. His hands framed her face, and his fingers caressed her cheeks.
“Gwendolyn, do you know what my favorite thing about you is?”
In response, Gwendolyn rolled her eyes at him. Who knows what you're thinking? I'm a woman with
both beauty and brains. There are tons of positive traits that I display.
Seeing that she did not answer, Patrick gave a low chuckle and continued, “I like how innocent and
cute you are!”
Seeing that she did not answer, Patrick gave a low chuckle and continued, “I like how innocent and
cute you are!”
On the other side, Liam could not help but disagree. That's nonsense. You obviously like how naïve
she is, so you can tease and bully her.
Gwendolyn was bewildered by his reply and said, “Mr. Lowen, this necklace cost one hundred and fifty
million. Aren't you afraid that it'll get stolen if you bring it around with you?”
Having worked in the lower level of society before, she knew how sinister society was.
Inching closer to her, Patrick whispered, “The necklace has a mechanism. Upon wearing it, nobody will
be able to see the carbonado. Without the star, it will merely seem like a plain necklace.”
Patrick knew he had to go into detail and explain to Gwendolyn the unique part of the necklace.
Otherwise, she would not know its perk and continue to worry.
Nodding, the woman exclaimed, “I see!”
At that moment, Patrick took out the necklace and put it on for her.
His eyes studied her with ardent appreciation, and he complimented, “It looks amazing on you!”
Gwendolyn looked down at the necklace. The carbonado was glittering and sparkling so brightly that
she had to squint while looking at it.
“Mr. Lowen, is this really for me?” she asked.
Isn't it supposed to be for his fiancée? It's a gorgeous necklace, but I can't possibly accept such an
expensive gift.
Pulling her into his arms, Patrick gave her a peck on her cheek.
“Gwendolyn, make sure to wear it every day,” he stressed.
Gwendolyn looked down once more at the necklace. It was indeed stunning.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Okay,” she replied.
Patrick was indeed a man of his word. He not only bought a gift for her but such an expensive one too.
Although she could not exchange it for cash, it was still a beautiful piece of jewelry that was worth
collecting.
She recalled that there was a legend about it. According to the legend, the necklace had the power to
ensure that its wearer would be together with her lover for eternity.
Where is my lover? When will you come to me? Could Benjamin be the one?
She snickered at the thought.
She wondered if it was fate. Benjamin had just asked her out for a movie, and now she got the
necklace. Gwendolyn felt it was an indication that her true love had arrived.
A faint smile curved her lips as she lightly touched the necklace around her throat and thought of
Benjamin's handsome features.
Patrick cast a sideways glance at Gwendolyn and smiled when he saw how happy she looked.
Happiness was written all over her face.
He loved to see her smile. Whenever she did, two dimples could be seen on her cheeks.
“Gwendolyn, do you like this gift?” he asked.
Snapping out of her trance at the sound of his voice, Gwendolyn raised her brows and smiled. “I do.
After all, this is a gift with a story behind it. I hope it can bring me luck!”
