From Wife to Aunt: His Worst Nightmare novel Chapter 62

"Oh, I was in a rush to sell it off. I forgot," I explained, brushing it off.

Steve said, "Tomorrow is our wedding anniversary. I'll buy that necklace back for you."

After that, he fixed his gaze on my face, slowly spelling it out for me. "Keep it safe this time and don't forget again."

I was dazed for a moment. It turned out that tomorrow was our fourth wedding anniversary.

Steve's serious expression made it seem as if he truly cared about the engagement gift, which carried special meaning for our marriage.

But did he really care? If he did, how could he bring himself to hurt me again and again like this?

That necklace had long since lost its meaning to me. Whether it was bought back or not didn't matter anymore.

…

Truth be told, Steve's promises over the past two years had been nothing more than words spoken casually that were quickly forgotten. I hadn't expected him to move fast this time.

That very evening, I received a call from Henry.

"Oh my, I hadn't expected your number to be the same after all these years," he said, laughing. "Don't tell me you're afraid that I couldn't contact you?"

I replied flatly, "You're overthinking it. Why are you calling me?"

Amused, Henry said, "Steve bought that purple sapphire necklace back from me. Want to guess how much he paid?"

I said indifferently, "Not interested."

Henry continued, "One billion dollars! I made him bleed for it. I hadn't expected him not to bargain for it at all."

I might not have been interested, but the sum still caught me off guard. After all, Steve had once bid ten million dollars for it at an auction years ago.
