When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Chapter 1597

“You have a good eye, miss. This phoenix coronet is our shop’s most prized possession. It is entirelyhandmade, and there’s only one of this in the whole country.”

The manager wasn’t exaggerating at all.

With the transparent glass petals, the red tassels with white crystals, and the handmadeembellishments, the phoenix coronet looked so much more stylish and classy than any otheraccessories in the cabinet, let alone paired with a red gown.

I couldn’t stop the corners of my lips from tilting upward as I traced a finger over the coronet.

The memories of the wedding I had with Ashton back then were already blurry. All I could rememberwas that I felt nervous but excited. I didn’t have time to rest that day. As for how the wedding went, orhow many guests there were, I could remember none of it.

Perhaps it was because of where I was from, but I preferred the traditional Chanaean wedding with ared and gold theme. Back then, we were in a rush to get married, so there wasn’t time for me to thinkabout this at all.

I regretted not being able to wear a phoenix coronet or a veil over my face as I went up to Ashton. Evenafter so long, I could still feel something tugging at my heartstrings whenever there was anythingrelated to weddings near me.

Indeed, women must never miss out on the formalities, or they would carry the regret in their heartsforever.

“Here, I would like to pay with this card.”

Emery got ready to pay for our stuff while I was still in the midst of my thoughts.

“Hold on,” I said, quickly reaching out to stop her. Then, I said to the manager, “Sorry, please let ushave a moment of discussion. We’ll call for you if we need anything.”

“All right.” Fortunately, the manager was modest as he left immediately after with a polite smile on hisface.

I pursed my lips and made sure he was gone before putting the phoenix coronet back into the cabinet.As I fiddled with the other accessories, I started to advise earnestly, “Didn’t you hear what the managersaid? This is a one-of-a-kind item. It’s the only one in the whole world. The ones you’re wearing nowalready cost you tens of thousands. This coronet will definitely cost up to hundreds of thousands. Iwon’t be able to use it even if you spend that much money, so there’s no need to waste your money.”

I paused for a moment before continuing as I traced the sides of the coronet, “I can’t bring myself tokeep such a beautiful thing from the world. It’ll only collect dust if I get it and put it up on a shelf, like allthe antiques we have. Let’s give it a chance to replace someone better. Let the person be the mostbeautiful bride when she wears this.”

“Why do you overthink so much? When are you able to shop to your heart’s content then?” Emery’smotto was “Have fun while you still can.” It was especially true when it came to shopping. She wouldnever be stingy, nor would she try to bargain for a better price. This was the reason that her mood wasrarely affected for material reasons.

In a way, there were benefits when women earned a lot in their jobs.

“I’m satisfied with what I have now.” I turned around, a smile on my face as I sighed. Then, pointing atmy head, I said, “I already have it in here. We should leave it to surprise others with its beauty. That’swhy we should just spare it.”

“What kind of logic is that?” the woman snorted with anger. “You should claim something for yourself ifyou like it. If you’re going to be like that, you might as well open up a charity home. Why should youcompromise yourself for someone else’s benefit?”

“It’s not as bad as you think. I just feel that a wedding item should be left for someone who is going toget married. We’re just here for the cultural festival. So why not just choose something else? I reallycan’t bring myself to throw away money as if it’s dirt.”

At my words, Emery sucked in a cold breath and was looking at me as if I was a freak. Her brows werefurrowed as she continued to stare at me but said nothing.

“What’s with the look on your face?” I lost my confidence after being a wet blanket.

“I was thinking if anyone would believe me if I told them that the wife of the richest man couldn’t bringherself to spend a few hundred thousand. Are you trying to play the role of a virtuous wife and helpAshton to save money?”

A laugh escaped her lips as she continued, “Whatever. I’m not going to force you to buy it. Whatbelongs to you will end up with you in the end anyway.”
