Gretchen was good at reading people, so she easily noticed that he was in a bad mood. "Is it because of the "Heart of the Ocean" necklace?"
"I'm really fine."
Martin was not able to tell what was wrong with him either.
He kept feeling as if something had clogged up his heart, and this sensation became stronger when he saw another man giving Gwenda a gift.
...
"Martin..."
Gretchen rarely encountered situations like these. She took the initiative to hold onto his arm and said soothingly, "I really don't care about that necklace. You don't have to feel guilty. Besides, I'm happy that my sister can have it."
Martin hummed ambiguously in response. When he looked up again, he saw a handsome man coming out of the hotel with a petite woman in his arms.
These two were not random strangers but was Olivier and Gwenda.
...
Martin's eyes narrowed as he gazed at the sweet smile on Gwenda's face. He felt cold all of a sudden, and his heart felt like it was being squeezed rather painfully...
"Martin? Martin?"
Gretchen called out to him a few times, but Martin did not respond.
Following his gaze, Gretchen saw Gwenda with another man, and she froze.
Who was this man?
Frowning, Gretchen tried to get a closer look at the man but could not do so due to the distance between them.
Dammit!
Gritting her teeth, Gretchen turned to see that Martin was still staring at Gwenda, and her frown deepened.
"Martin!"
Having raised her voice, Martin returned to his senses. "What's wrong?"
"Why do you keep staring at my sister?"
She was jealous!
Realisation flickered through Martin's eyes as he reached out to hug Gretchen and began lying subconsciously. "It's nothing. I was just surprised to see that man."
"Is it the same man you met at Gwenda's apartment before?"
"Yes."
Martin nodded and pursed his lips. He looked tense and his eyes were dark.
"I suppose he's the man who gave her the "Heart of the Ocean", though I don't know what his background is."
Even her father could not find anything on him.
What a big bloody headache.
Martin did not respond and kept frowning. When he thought of the way the man embraced Gwenda, frustration would surge in his heart, and the arm hugging Gretchen tightened unconsciously.
Gretchen cried out in pain. "Martin, it hurts..."
Martin pulled himself together again and let go of her. "Let's head back too."
After that, he left with a frigid expression on his face.
Stunned for a few seconds, Gretchen eventually staggered after him in her high heels.
