Chapter 122
Marshall chuckled, “Those were the days when we were in school. Now, we’re more mature.”
Stella internally rolled her eyes and thought, ‘Competing in a horseback riding race just to hear one call the other big brother? Hardly seems mature for two grown men in their early thirties.‘

Marshall suddenly remembered something. “By the way…” He took something out of his pocket and handed it to Stella. “Are these yours?”
Stella turned and saw Marshall holding the earrings she had worn last night.
Marshall explained, “I found them in my car this morning. They must have fallen off when I dropped you off last night.”
“They’re mine. I thought I lost them.” Stella took the earrings and thanked him. She thought, ‘ I should have brought the gift along with me when I came here, so I could just give it to him.‘
