Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)
Chapter 351

Chapter 351 My Necklace

Ever since I picked up Caleb's phone call, I'd pay attention to Amelia's case from time to time.

Although I claimed that I didn't care about Amelia and Leonard, the truth was that I found it difficult not to care about them at all.

Many of the media outlets had already taken photos of Amelia. She looked terrible, and she had lost a lot of weight. She didn't look as chubby as she used

to be

There were even police officers standing guard at the door, so she couldn't leave her ward and move around on a whim.

The platform demanded a compensation of tens of millions of dollars, excluding the compensation meant for other aspects. Lennard was most likely drowning in the work needed to deal with the aftermath.

Caleb texted me a few times on WhatsApp, but I never responded to them. My mood, on the other hand, continued worsening,

I threw myself into work and studies every day. Otherwise, I'd end up overthinking everything

If I couldn't sleep, I'd start learning a foreign language. I wanted to equip myself with a variety of skills. Perhaps I might travel to another country in the future.

One week of high-intense leaming later, Astrid finally couldn't take it anymore.

"You're not allowed to memorize any new terms anymore! Are you trying to kill yourself with knowledge? Slonarese, huh? Are you planning to go bullfighting?

"Eva, let's just relax and enjoy our youth, okay? Hurry up and get up already! You're still in your 20s! Please don't waste your youth on studying!" Astrid pulled me up by force before helping me change into new clothes, "Today's Sunday, so I've already invited fill to go shopping with us. She's planning to buy a

y a gift for someone

"A gift for someone? Is she giving it to a man?" My eyes lit up instantly when I heard the juicy gossip

Gossip was the only thing that could pique a woman's interest other than money.

"Duh! If we don't go now, we'll miss out on the perfect chance to chew her out! Hurry up!"

Astrid practically shoved me out of the campus. By the time we reached the mall, Jill was already in the midst of picking out something at a jewelry store.

"Jill, what's with the big budget? Who are you giving jewelry to,

I hooked an arm around Jill's neck. She quieldy swatted my hand away.

"Can't men

men own jewelry? What's with that outdated mindset of yours? Besides, I'm just browsing!"

I narrowed my eyes at the sight of the cuff links and the tie clip.

"Wow, just look at how stylish those two accessories are! Well, I suppose we'll have to marry our best friend away someday...

"Precisely! You're giving those accessories to a man in his 20s, right? Ms. Pope, you really are loaded!"

Astrid scooted over as well. She was shocked when she saw the price of the cuff links.

Jill suddenly blushed out of nowhere. "I'm just helping a friend buy them! I'm not planning to give them to him!

"Caleb told me yesterday that this store carries this type of tie clip. There isn't any existing stock left in Pyronia. This store sells second-hand tie clips, so it's cheaper to get it here."

I looked at the tie clip's style. It suited Caleb well.

"Yeah. This clip suits him well. Caleb really is lucky to have you as his 'friend," eh?"

A cheeky idea popped into Astrid's mind when she saw me having the time of my life teasing Jill.

"Are you envious?"

I nodded immediately. "Of course! I'm so envious right now!"

Astrid pulled out a black card slyly. "Just use this card to buy whatever you want. This is Jack's card."

Thad already extended my hand at that time, but I was quick to retract it.

Hell no! Why would I use Jack's money?

like since you're coming out

But Astrid placed the card into my hand right away. "He gave it to me and told me that you're to use the card however you like since with me.

"Oh, you! Can you at least be more mindful next time?" I stuffed the card into Astrid's bag once again. "You know my physical condition! Do you Jack to live as a widower in the future? Besides, this..."

I turned around and happened to see the necklace that was being displayed in the central cabinet. Just the sight was enough to make my breath hitch in my throat.

But Astrid continued pressing on the subject. "This what? Oh my gosh, it's so pretty! Buy it!"

Chapter 351 My Necklace

She nudged me on the shoulder after that. However, I couldn't utter a single word for a long time. That was my necklace. To be more precise, that was my grandmother's necklace.
