He had been acting so weird lately. I felt quite awkward around him "I'll give you back the money. I have a million dollars." I did have a million dollars. After all, I did get my share of the money after the divorce.

Jack's gaze darkened slightly at my words, I instinctively took a step away from him. Honestly speaking, I felt quite stressed when I saw how nice lack was treating me.

I was about to turn down Jack's offer to givethe necklace for free when he unclasped the necklace right away. Then, he put it around my neck.

""Don't move.

Jack's voice was a little lower than usual. I was so intimidated that I didn't even move a muscle. Meanwhile, Jill and Astrid both gasped in unison. They even let out soft shrieks of excitement.

"Till, I want a necklace too!" "Okay! I'll buy one for you later! Heck, I'll even put it on for you!" "Oh, you're so sappy! But I love it!" The ladies burst into laughter after that I was so embarrassed that I wished the ground could swallowup. I knew right away that fill and Astrid would make fun oflater. my head low while avoiding Jack's gaze.

My cheeks were already flaming in embarrassment. I could only keep my head) "I'll transfer you the money right now. Which one do you prefer-Venmo or Paypal? I can also transfer to your bank account if you want." I pulled out my phone immediately. It'd be best if I could avoid racking up debts, especially when it cto Jack. Jack just grabbed my phone before passing it to Astrid. "Keep it safe" "Got it, dear brother! May I ask for a teensy weensy bit of storage fees in return?" Astrid raised my phone, as well as the black card, while looking very pitiful.

"Sure thing." "As expected of my dearest brother! I hope a man as generous as you can land yourself a girlfriend soon! fill darling, it's finally my turn to treat you to something nice today!" While Jack's tone was still impassive as ever, the excited Astrid had already taken fill by the hand and was about to drag her away. Their excited voices soon dissipated. Then, Leonard's trembling voice rang out from a distance "That necklace... Is it really yours?" I was so engrossed in staring at the necklace that I didn't realize Leonard and Caleb were standing at the doorway of the jewelry store.

Jill quickly stood in front of Leonard in order to block his line of sight.

"Caleb, didn't you tellyou were still in Pyrosia? When did you cto Manovia?" "Um. I wanted to surprise you." Caleb looked a little awkward. There was a flicker of guilt in his eyes when he glanced atJill just smiled. "It's fine. It's a delightful surprise for me. Why don't we grab something to eat together? It'll be my treat." Astrid hurried over as well in an attempt to stop Leonard as well. But Leonard just kept staring atthe whole time. His eyes had already reddened too. "Eva, rellIs this your necklace?

Truth be told, I did think about what would happen if Leonard found out about the truth after we got married. Would he feel guilty? Would he treatbetter?

I even fantasized about the moment when he'd tellrepeatedly that he'd tel only lovefrom now on with tears streaking down his face. He'd promisethat he'd treatnicer than ever forever. But now, I didn't want him to badgerat all.

"You heard wrong" I took a step backward so that I could stand next to Jack. I thought for a moment before deciding not to link arms with him.

I couldn't just use Jack like that. At the stime, I didn't want others to misunderstand him

"Leonard, strangers can bear similarities with each other. Of m course, the sthing goes for necidaces. I still have things to do, so I'm going to leave now" Chapter 354 Your Reason I felt extremely suffocated at that moment.

I began walking to the side, hoping that I could circle around Leonard. But he refused to let the matter go.
