Chapter 266
"You wouldn''t have such concerns anymore if you just leave Hendrix," Aaron casually replied to me.
I was utterly mad. It was futile to talk sense into Aaron at all. I suppressed the annoyance in me and
said, giving up atmunicating effectively with him, "Fine! Just do whatever you want."
Then, I walked past him and went back to the vi.
I walked on the cobblestone path to the front door of the vi, where a muffin was thrown on the
ground. Hendrix had taken a bite of it, and it seemed to be abandoned because it didn''t taste good.
Hendrix was really immature to do such an act.
After taking a few steps, I caught a glimpse of a silver line in the muffin. I was surprised, and I went
over to pick it up from the trash.
Pulling the edge, I drew out a silver flying fish ne from its inside.
"You rummaged through the trash just for an object worth probably only a hundred dors?" Hendrix''s
tone was icy cold.
I ignored him and went straight ahead to wipe the cream off the ne with tissue papers. The
ne indeed didn''t cost much, but it wasn''t worthless.
I bought it when I was around fourteen years old-in the eighth grade. At that age, the girls had already
developed an appreciation for beauty. So, many of my female ssmates liked to put on essories
on their hands or necks just like the adults.
The essories weren''t actually that expensive. It was generally a little more than a dozen dors, at
most a few tens. But, for me at that time, a dozen dors was considered arge sum of money.
However, even if I liked to wear these essories, I wouldn''t ask for money from Carol to buy them. I
would help the worker at the school''s cafeteria to tidy things up after school, and I would get
approximately five dors everytime I went.
I worked for around one month, only stopping because I injured my legter, and Carol almost found
out about it.
I managed to save up about two hundred dors within a month. I spent over a hundred to buy myself
this pure silver ne, and I used the remaining money to buy a belt for Aaron, and a ring used
during clothes making for Carol.
Unfortunately, I lost the ne after only wearing it a few times. It was the first time I had worn
something valuable, and I lost it only after a few days.
As a result, I had always felt that I wasn''t cut out to wear expensive essories. Even after marrying
Hendrix, I still didn''t really wear nes and rings unless it was necessary.

I really didn''t think that I could still find the ne after so many years. My glee was beyond words.
Then, I entered the vi, and I couldn''t help but think what else Aaron might return to me other than the
ne.
At that, I turned and looked at Hendrix, who had a long face, and asked with bright eyes, "Where''s the
rest of the desserts?"
He frowned. He was visibly unhappy, "In the trash!"
I ignored his displeasure and went to look through all the trash bins in the vi.
I finally found the rest of the box in the trash bin in the kitchen, and I crouched down, ready to start
digging for more possible little things from my past.
Hendrix grabbed my wrist and asked, "Why do you care so much about his gift?"
I swung his hand away, not giving any exnation because it was too troublesome.
I only said, "It''s not what you think."
I rummaged through the trash bin, took out the box, and opened it. As expected, there was a well- kept
belt. I continued to rifle through the rest of the gift box. Since he sent the ne and belt, the ring
that I had given to Carol should also be there.
I even flipped the box insides out, but it was to no avail. I found nothing.
I got up, wanting to go back to the muffin that was left at the door. At this moment, Hendrix shoved and
pinned me down onto the sofa brusquely. He growled, "Arianna, that''s enough!"
I frowned and said a little irritably, "Hendrix, you go about your day. I don''t have the time to quarrel with
you now!"
