Chapter 771

"This bracelet is considered the Schumans' heirloom. I heard that it came from a palace and waslater passed on to laypeople. At the time, the head of the Schumans bought the bracelet and gave itto the current mistress at the time. As the Schumans had contributed greatly t o the country, thebracelet got to stay. It was passed down from generation to generation. When it came to yourgeneration, it was supposed to be passed on to the daughter-in-law, but Yvonne surprisingly passedi t on to you. Everyone at the banquet was shocked at the time."

I listened intently to what she was saying and touched the bracelet.

I did not know the value of this bracelet at the time, so I accepted it when Yvonne gave it to me.Now that I had learned about it, I honestly felt that I should not have accepted the bracelet.

Seeing that I kept staring at the bracelet without a word, Cassey asked carefully, "You're notthinking of sending the bracelet back, are you?"

It seemed like she had more or less understood my personality. It was surprising to me that she wasable t o guess what I was currently thinking.

I was about to speak when Cassey's phone rang.

She pulled out her phone from her purse and answered it. I got up and walked to the side out ofcourtesy.

This mall was the largest in the city center. There were many shoppers every day. As there were allkinds of goods of various price ranges here, the spending power between the shoppers was largelydifferent too.

I observed the passersby around me and suddenly felt suffocated by the hustle and bustle. Mychest felt stuffy.

Zenon's mall would never see this many shoppers around. Moreover, most of the items were soldby the side of the road. Anyone who needed to buy something could just buy it while they werepassing b y on their way home from work.

As it was a small county, many people knew each other, so when they bumped into someone theyknew while shopping, they would chat while they shopped. I t was lively yet peaceful at the sametime.

While I was thinking about it, Cassey put the phone next to my ear and teased. "Your husbandcalled."

My husband?

Theo?

I was a little dumbfounded and asked unsurely," Theo?" "It’s me." The man’s voice rang out in myears, gentle yet attractive. "I couldn't reach you because your phone is off so I called Miss Louisinstead."

I fished out my phone from my pocket and took a look. As expected, my phone had run out ofbattery and it switched off automatically.

"I asked Miss Louis and she told me that you're only wearing a thin layer of clothes. Why didn't youwear more layers when you went out? It won’t be good if you catch a cold." Theo soundeddissatisfied.

I did not feel impatient by his nagging but instead felt warmness in my heart.

He had so many things to do in the company but still took time to ask if I had worn enough layers.He was already meticulous enough now and could easily warm my heart.

When I saw Cassey smiling at me, my cheeks felt a little hot. I replied in a lowered voice, “I wore athin layer because it didn't feel cold outside. Besides, there are heaters in the car and in the mall, soI won’t catch a cold."

Theo chuckled. "Alright, I’ll spare you from my nagging this time, but remember to wear more layerso f clothes when you leave the door next time, okay?"

I hummed a reply softly. "Alright."

"Good girl." Theo's voice was incredibly gentle. "I'm getting off work very soon and will pick you upafter that. I've deposited some money in your card. Just buy whatever you want. Don't save moneyfor me.”

I smirked. When I saw the teasing smile on Cassey's face, I quickly put on a straight face. "Alright.I’ll hang up now."

After hanging up, I returned Cassey her phone.

She tossed her phone in her purse and snorted softly. " It’s not nice to be forced to watch yourlovey-dovey acts.”
