Chapter 175


    “Mmph...” A soft, needy sound rose out of her throat before she could stop it. Then a crimson blush


    came over Gwendolyn''s face.


    I can''t believe that sound came out of me! If they bring it up, I definitely won''t admit to it.


    That sound was so flirtatious and seductive.


    Ahh! This is so embarrassing! How am I going to face Liam and Larry?


    In contrast to her embarrassment, Patrick was smiling with satisfaction. That was because the sound


    that she had made was proof of his skill.


    “By the way, you can keep Starry Tears. It''s my gift to you. You''re not allowed to sell it, do you


    understand? I want you to wear it every day,” instructed Patrick.


    That was his only request for Gwendolyn. He knew she was a money-grubber and might sell off the


    ne.


    He liked the meaning behind the ne—eternal love. That was also his intention for them both. If


    Gwendolyn sold off the ne, they would not be able to achieve that anymore.


    Hearing his words, Gwendolyn felt a little disappointed. It was a pity that she could not sell it off, as the


    ne would only be for viewing and not wearing.


    She protested, “But I don''t dare to wear it. It''s so valuable. What if I attract the attention of jewel thieves


    if I wear it?”


    Hearing that, Patrick chuckled. His hands framed her face, and his fingers caressed her cheeks.


    “Gwendolyn, do you know what my favorite thing about you is?”


    In response, Gwendolyn rolled her eyes at him. Who knows what you''re thinking? I''m a woman with


    both beauty and brains. There are tons of positive traits that I disy.


    Seeing that she did not answer, Patrick gave a low chuckle and continued, “I like how innocent and


    cute you are!”


    Seeing that she did not answer, Patrick gave a low chuckle and continued, “I like how innocent and


    cute you are!”


    On the other side, Liam could not help but disagree. That''s nonsense. You obviously like how na?ve


    she is, so you can tease and bully her.


    Gwendolyn was bewildered by his reply and said, “Mr. Lowen, this ne cost one hundred and fifty


    million. Aren''t you afraid that it''ll get stolen if you bring it around with you?”


    Having worked in the lower level of society before, she knew how sinister society was.


    Inching closer to her, Patrick whispered, “The ne has a mechanism. Upon wearing it, nobody will


    be able to see the carbonado. Without the star, it will merely seem like a in ne.”


    Patrick knew he had to go into detail and exin to Gwendolyn the unique part of the ne.


    Otherwise, she would not know its perk and continue to worry.


    Nodding, the woman eximed, “I see!”

    At that moment, Patrick took out the ne and put it on for her.


    His eyes studied her with ardent appreciation, and heplimented, “It looks amazing on you!”


    Gwendolyn looked down at the ne. The carbonado was glittering and sparkling so brightly that


    she had to squint while looking at it.


    “Mr. Lowen, is this really for me?” she asked.


    Isn''t it supposed to be for his fiancée? It''s a gorgeous ne, but I can''t possibly ept such an


    expensive gift.


    Pulling her into his arms, Patrick gave her a peck on her cheek.


    “Gwendolyn, make sure to wear it every day,” he stressed.


    Gwendolyn looked down once more at the ne. It was indeed stunning.


    “Okay,” she replied.


    Patrick was indeed a man of his word. He not only bought a gift for her but such an expensive one too.


    Although she could not exchange it for cash, it was still a beautiful piece of jewelry that was worth


    collecting.


    She recalled that there was a legend about it. ording to the legend, the ne had the power to


    ensure that its wearer would be together with her lover for eternity.


    Where is my lover? When will youe to me? Could Benjamin be the one?


    She snickered at the thought.


    She wondered if it was fate. Benjamin had just asked her out for a movie, and now she got the


    ne. Gwendolyn felt it was an indication that her true love had arrived.


    A faint smile curved her lips as she lightly touched the ne around her throat and thought of


    Benjamin''s handsome features.


    Patrick cast a sideways nce at Gwendolyn and smiled when he saw how happy she looked.


    Happiness was written all over her face.


    He loved to see her smile. Whenever she did, two dimples could be seen on her cheeks.


    “Gwendolyn, do you like this gift?” he asked.


    Snapping out of her trance at the sound of his voice, Gwendolyn raised her brows and smiled. “I do.


    After all, this is a gift with a story behind it. I hope it can bring me luck!”
