Chapter 2
I didn’t wake up Tyrell like I used to, hysterically questioning him about random things.
After leisurely frying the egg rolls, I had just sat down at the dining table when I heard Tyrell, who had just woken up, say, “Don’t wait for me for dinner tonight, there’s a company dinner.”
The man opened the refrigerator and drank two sips of cold water.
Suddenly, it struck me as strange that I hadn’t nagged him about how cold water can hurt the stomach, nor asked who would be at the dinner party.
Through the kitchen glass, Tyrell frowned and looked at me, “Lailah, were you listening to me?”
I cleared my throat and continued eating.
Seeing the situation, the man threw his black coat to me.
“The birthday gift I gave you.”
The coat, with a sweet and fragrant scent, covered my flat abdomen perfectly.
Under the man’s gaze, I fumbled in the coat pocket and found a gift box.
Open the box, and inside was a diamond ring.
Before I could say anything, Tyrell calmly snatched the ring back.
He said, “You took the wrong one, yours is on the other side.”
The other pocket contained an emerald brooch.
I took just one glance and then handed it back to him.
Then, politely, he said, “The brooch is very beautiful, but unfortunately I don’t have clothes that
match it.”
Moreover, my birthday has already passed three months ago, so you should just give it to Lucia as

He remained silent for a while.
Tyrell reluctantly said, “There is a jewelry auction in a couple of days, you can

Even during the yacht vacation among childhood friends, the two of them were holding hands and

Looking back, I feel completely bored.
“No, I don’t need anything.”
“Are you sure?”
I nodded and said, “It’s best to have Lucia accompany you.”
My sincere words were met with an instant scowl from the man. “Lailah, go to the bathroom right now and look in the mirror.”
“Take a good look at how ridiculous your jealous face was.
The man used to say this, and I would definitely have a big argument with him.
But now, I couldn’t be bothered to argue even half a word.
Just as I was about to get up and go back to my room, Tyrell’s phone rang.
It was Lucia’s exclusive ringtone.
The girl cried so much that her tears were like raindrops, saying that she had forgotten to bring her keys when she went out to throw away the garbage.
What should we do, Tyrell?
“Silly fool, stay put and don’t wander around. I will come over right now to bring you the keys.”
The man hung up the phone and immediately walked out.
But I called out to him.
“Last week, the scarf you asked me to knit has been finished and hung on the hanger. Don’t forget to bring it to her.”
Tyrell’s face changed slightly.
The mouth moved slightly, as if preparing to say something.
However, Lucia sent another voice message.
Imitating a cat, meowing and begging the owner to bring a cup of milk tea
For this, the man emptied the shopping paper bag hanging on the hanger, put in the scarf, and left
with a smile at the corner of his mouth.
