Madam Klein smiled at my answer. She patted the back of her hand and said, "It's okay, don't worry about it. It’s just a small meeting gift. I’ll have better things to give you if things flourish between you two."
I choked up and could not say a word. My expression turned ugly and hesitant.
"It’s okay, don't feel pressured. Since I’ve given it to you, don't reject me."
Out of desperation, I could only accept it.
"It won’t be good for me to reject you now that you’ve said so."
Madam Klein immediately smiled after seeing that I had relaxed.
"Aunt, I’d like the bracelet box so that I can protect it." Madam Klein was filled with joy. She nodded and took off the bracelet, speaking as she moved about.
"The two of you should get along. If he bullies you, I'll teach him a lesson..."
After asking Madam Klein for the bracelet’s box, I put the box in my bag and went downstairs.
Marius was standing there, waiting for us to come down.
"Marius, be careful and send Wanda home safely."
Marius nodded and assured her, "Don't worry, Mom."
In the car.
Marius asked, "What were you and my mother doing upstairs?"
I raised a pale hand and stretched it out, showing off the beautiful bracelet. "Aunt forced a bracelet on me."
I slowly took off the bracelet as I said that, wiped it, and then put it in the box.
"Hey, I’ll explain this to my family as soon as possible," Marius sighed and replied in a low voice.
I nodded. Closing my eyes, I rested.
Before I knew it, I had arrived at the villa.
"I'll help you out of the car!"
