Read My Past is Just Prologue By Louisa Dillon Chapter 49 – She Was Happy with Another Man.
“I know.”
Orville resisted his disappointment and maintained the manners, “This is a gift from a friend. We are friends, aren’t we?”
His eyes were slightly red.
Janet didn’t know how to react.
How could she say no to him again?
She sighed slightly and accepted the roses, “Of course we are friends.”
All good intentions deserve to be treated kindly.
She took a box from her bag, “I’ve got a gift for you, too. I hope you will like it.”
She gave it to Orville.
It was a small gift.
She thought, “I will buy something more precious for him.”
Orville was overwhelmed with surprise, “Of course I like it. I like anything you give to me.”
He was happy enough that she accepted his gift.
He opened it. It was a pocket watch with a sapphire surface inlaid with blue diamonds and platinum. It was a perfect gift for
men.
His gift was an orchid brooch, wrapped in special enamel, showing a glowing iris blue color. It suited Janet’s outfit.
Janet smiled, “Thank you for the gift. I like it. And I’m glad you like my gift.”
She felt quite relieved. She was glad they were frank with each other.
“I do!”
Orville was happy, too.
He was not afraid of challenges. He wouldn’t give up on Janet.
He liked the feeling of conquering.
He appreciated her frankness, which made him like her more.
They both enjoyed the meal.
Orville knew Janet more.
After the meal, they walked out of the restaurant and chatted happily.
Orville said, “I’m glad you like the restaurant.”
