He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 876

Scarlett gave a helpless, amused shrug.

She knew for a fact that Julian was the first person to ever receive this kind of VIP treatment from her mother. It was glaringly obvious that Jacqueline was genuinely thrilled with him and was doing everything in her power to speed up their relationship.

Julian's dark eyes deepened. "Don't just stand there, Scarlett. Come sit."

He patted the empty spot on the sofa next to him.

Scarlett walked over, but the moment she sat down, Julian practically pulled a magic trick. He reached into his pajama pocket and pulled out a delicate chain.

"Do you like it?"

A brilliant sparkle caught Scarlett's eye. Looking closer, she realized it was a stunning platinum anklet.

"This..." Scarlett was genuinely surprised. "When did you get this?"

Julian just smiled and didn't answer. Instead, he slipped off the sofa and dropped to one knee on the floor.

Leaning forward slightly, his large, warm hand gently encircled her slender ankle. He wrapped the delicate chain around her pale skin and carefully fastened the clasp.

A subtle jolt of electricity seemed to shoot up from her ankle the moment his fingers brushed against her skin, sending a shiver straight to her chest. Her heart skipped a beat.

She finally found her voice. "Why the sudden gift?"

"Because whenever I see beautiful jewelry, I want to buy it for you."

Julian’s honesty was entirely unfiltered. After fastening the clasp, he kept his hand lightly around her foot, admiring his work under the soft glow of the lamp.

The platinum was cool against her skin, and the embedded green diamonds caught the light with a faint, elegant shimmer, contrasting perfectly with her radiant complexion.

His eyes were filled with pure appreciation. "Your ankles are perfect for this. It looks beautiful on you."
