Seven Days to Goodbye (Irene and Stellan) novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23

Back then, Irene chose a string of red agate beads and wanted to buy two identical couple bracelets, but she could not find them.

At the time, he could not understand and spoke impatiently, “Just buy any two, it’s fine.”

He even urged her to leave, telling her not to waste time there.

Irene’s face fell immediately, and she sulked with him for quite a

while.

But later he realized that what mattered during the journey was not checking off this or that sight, but enjoying every moment spent with

her.

He was there to accompany her; it did not matter where they went or what they did.

Thinking of the past, Stellan felt even more guilty toward Irene, and his heart ached in waves.

He was just about to buy a matching bracelet.

“Is it this one you want?” The vendor handed him exactly the string of beads he remembered.

Irene looked delighted and tugged at Stellan’s arm.

“Stellan, we’re so lucky!”

Stellan was stunned for a moment, absentmindedly taking it, while Irene’s laughter drifted near and far in his ears.

He thought he should be happy at that moment, but his nose inexplicably tingled with sadness.

He gazed absentmindedly at the excited Irene, his throat dry: “Don’t you blame me?”

Irene looked puzzled, tilting her head in confusion.

“Why would I blame you?”

As she spoke, she happily leaned against Stellan, stretched out her hand, and shook the beads on her wrist with joy.

Inder the warm yellow light, her complexion appeared gentle, just

before.

“It’s wonderful, Stellan, we have couple bracelets now. We’re really lucky.”

Stellan clenched his palm tightly, while a string of beads identical to the one in his hand lay quietly in his pocket.

He spoke with some difficulty, “Yes, we’re really lucky.”

The vendor kept frowning at him, finally sighing and shaking his head.

“Poor man…”

Stellan snapped back to reality, not having heard clearly, suppressed the emotions surging in his heart, and finally remembered to ask the

vendor.

“How did you know this was the one I wanted?”

The vendor’s expression remained unchanged; he smiled, then took out his phone and pulled up Irene’s Instagram.

“She’s your wife, isn’t she?”

“A few years ago, you two came to buy beads and even argued over them, but later she quietly found me and we added each other on WhatsApp.”

“She specifically researched the beads; only this kind could bring safety and health. But the materials were hard to find, so I told her I would make one for her and mail it when I got the materials.”

“I always remembered this, but I didn’t expect to meet you right after I finished making it.”

Stellan instinctively turned to look at Irene, but when he saw the confusion in her eyes, his heart skipped a heavy beat.

“By the way, where is

your wife?”

The vendor hesitated for a long time before finally asking.

Irene paused, waved at the vendor, and said, “I’m right here, aren’t I?”

As she spoke, her mood seemed to drop a little.

Stellan’s head throbbed dully; he grabbed Irene’s hand tightly, and his face darkened.

“This is my wife. Since you have her WhatsApp, there’s no need to treat her like this!”

He put down a few bills and left with Irene, his face cold.

Even after returning to the hotel, Stellan’s mood remained poor.

Irene smiled optimistically at him and stuffed the beads he had set aside into his hand.

“Don’t be upset. These beads can still bring health.”
