Chapter 15
“This is for you,” Kirk said.
Their marriage was a contractual one. There was nothing besides a marriage certificate to prove it. However, after spending time with Caroline for the past few days, Kirk felt that he did not treat her well enough. So now, he was giving her a small gift.
Caroline accepted the box and opened it carefully. She was stunned at what she saw; in the box sat an emerald bracelet with a bluish- green hue to it. She knew it was a prized emerald just by looking at it. It was cold and comfortable to the touch, and Caroline loved it. However, when she thought of its price…
“This must cost a fortune. It’s better if you’d return it,” she said with reluctance.
“It’s not expensive.” Kirk plucked the bracelet from Caroline’s hands and helped her to put it on.
It fit snugly and perfectly on her wrist. Her wrist was slender as it was, and the bracelet gave her an air of exquisiteness. Kirk could not
but why can’t I seem to take it help but stare at her. But then, Caroline became anxious and started to take it off. “Nope. I can’t take it
off?”
…
Kirk smiled, amused at how adorable she was. “If you can’t take it off, it means that it has acknowledged you as its owner. If you really want to take it off, the only way is to smash it into pieces.”
Caroline was confused about how this all worked but still nodded to what he said. “Is it really that magical?” She did not buy it.
“If you don’t believe me, go on.”
Caroline touched the bracelet on her wrist. It would be a pity to destroy it. “Next time, don’t bring me gifts,” she said. Their relationship was but a contract. He did not need to buy her gifts.
Kirk did not reply. He raised his wrist to check the time. “I have an appointment in the afternoon. I’ve got to go.”
Caroline watched in silence as he left. So did he come to the hospital just to give her a gift? She touched the cold surface of the bracelet and felt something strange in her heart.
Caroline browsed while replying, “So that I can pay him back. I don’t want to owe him anything.”
