“Oh my god! Gerald, don’t you know the value of this bracelet? Are you sure you aren’t going to regret it if you give it to Giya now? I’m telling you seriously that it’s still not too late for you to regret it now!” said Tammy as she felt the weight on her chest slowly lift.
God d*mn! She was almost scared to death just now. If Gerald had actually bought the jade dragon bracelet that cost thirty-two thousand dollars, then he could possibly be a low key rich heir!
Unlike most other girls, Tammy hadn’t felt any contempt toward Gerald.
However, it would have been beyond surprising and unbelievable if a pauper like Gerald suddenly turned out to be a heir richer than all of them there could ever be.
Fortunately, that wasn’t the case.
“I didn’t know the value of the dragon jade bracelet before this but I do now. I don’t regret anything. Do accept it, Giya,” replied Gerald as he gently pushed the box with the bracelet in it back to Giya.
Since such an embarrassing thing had already happened, Gerald could only play along with his lie. After all, he couldn’t possibly take back what he had already given out.
As for Giya, she simply stared at Gerald with her eyes wide open.
The bracelet was precious. It could even be the most valuable and precious item in Gerald’s family. But here he was, just giving it to her.
Giya was touched beyond words.
As for Yacob, steam was erupting from his ears.
He had lost face severely today since he had been caught completely off guard!
What more, it was even more embarrassing since it all happened in the presence of his personal goddess! He felt that he was only going to further bring shame to himself if he continued staying there.
After glaring daggers at Gerald, Yacob got up and huffed before leaving angrily.
Gerald himself wanted to leave.
After all, his main goal to hand Giya the bracelet had been completed. He didn’t even want to stay for breakfast anymore.
He felt that the longer he stayed, the more awkward the situation would become.
Therefore, he came up with a random excuse to leave before turning around and descending the stairs quickly.
“Hold on, Gerald!”
Her chain of thoughts were broken when Gerald asked, “What did Tammy and the others say?”
“I… don’t know,” said Giya as she looked to the side for a moment before looking back at Gerald. “Either way, this is simply too valuable! I refuse to accept it!”
“I insist that you do. After all, we’ll be graduating soon and once school starts again, very few people will continue to stay in the university. I’m afraid that I may not have the opportunity to compensate you again in the future!” replied Gerald with a bitter smile on his face.
“Pfft!”
His words really amused Giya. “By any chance, are you the type of person who doesn’t like owing others favors, Gerald?”
“I am!” said Gerald before nodding.
“Well, alright. I’ll hold on to this jade bracelet for the moment. I’ll return it to you when you’re about to get married in the future then!” replied Giya with a huge smile on her face.
“Okay!”
Not thinking too hard about it, Gerald thought that the matter had finally been resolved the moment Giya accepted the jade bracelet. Therefore, he found no reason to stay any longer.
“Hey! Hey, Gerald!”
