Chapter 2653 After they placed an order for their food, Luna and Yannie were swept away by their conversation before they noticed Gwen flipping everywhere as though searching for something “What‘s wrong?” Luna asked with a frown.
“I lost my pendant.” She placed her keychain on the table to show Luna that there was no pendant attached to it. “Luke bought it for me when we were sightseeing in a church in Merchant City. I don‘t know where I lost it.”
She flipped through every pocket on her clothes and dug into her bag once again, her eyebrows squeezed together. “I can‘t find it, I swear.” Luna did not have the appetite to eat anymore, looking at how anxious and panicked Gwen was. She knew how important the pendant was to Gwen because it was a gift from the deceased Luke, and it was thus an irreplaceable gift. Yannie also started to help Gwen search for it. The three women searched the entire restaurant, but they could not find it. At that time, their food was served. Gwen sighed. “Maybe it fell off in The Spring Resort. Before we left, I was playing with the pendant while we were sitting on the sofa in the lobby discussing where to eat. Maybe it fell off then.” She got on her feet. “Don‘t wait for me.” “I‘ll go with you.” Yannie quickly stood up when she saw Gwen stand up. “I have good eyesight. I can help you to look for it on the way back.” Gwen had really scared Yannie after she was found sleeping in the dumpster. It somewhat traumatized Yannie, so she was not about to let Gwen walk away by herself again. “Don‘t worry.” Gwen pursed her lip. “I didn‘t drink any alcohol, and I won‘t sleep in the dumpster again.” “We believe in you.” Luna pouted and put some food onto Gwen‘s plate. “Let‘s have some food in our system first, and then we‘ll go search together.” Gwen pursed her lips and hesitated. Finally, she sat down after looking at Luna and also Yannie, who looked very worried. Luna and Yannie had been by her side for the entire morning. From the looks of it, they were , scared she might run off like she did last night. If she decided to leave without eating, both of them would also do the same as she did.
After giving it a thought, she decided to stay and have her lunch first. She could only search for the pendant afterward. It was a precious pendant to Gwen, but it was not because it was expensive. The pendant was in fact bought in a small store in the tourist area. She believed no one would actually pick it up even if it fell on the sofa in the resort.
Nonetheless, the result was not what Gwen expected. After lunch, they searched all the way from the restaurant to the lobby of the resort. Alas, they
did not find it. After nearly an hour of searching, Gwen sat on the sofa in the lobby of the resort with disappointment. She looked at Yannie, who was squatting on the floor, trying to find the pendant. “You don‘t have to look anymore. Maybe...this is my fate.” Fate wanted her to lose Luke‘s gifts one by one, slowly diminishing his existence from her life in the process. Nonetheless, Luna did not believe in destiny nor was she about to give up. She went to the counter. “I‘d like to know if anyone else sat on the sofa after we left. We dropped something.” The front desk attendant felt sympathetic because she saw them searching for a long time. Thus, she checked the surveillance footage and looked at Luna while feeling troubled. “Someone did sit on the sofa after you left.”
