Female Novel
Chapter 997
When he came to think of this, the jealousy in his heart was completely aroused.
The fact that she could let Karl know who she was, but always faced him with a mask, made him
jealous.
So Karl was one of “them” and he was just an outsider?
It's infuriating! He really wanted to rip open her mask, but, for now, he could only endure it.
Joyce pushed Luther away and walked out of the kitchen.
Luther caught up with her, "Wait, I have something for you."
Joyce sat down on the couch and looked up, "What's that?"
From his pocket, Luther took out a cloth bag. He opened it up, and from it he took out a silver pendant.
He went to Sanmon Antiques today. He had previously asked Mr. Ward to restore the silver pendant
Joyce had been wearing since she was a child, and to make a new silver pendant with the same
pattern for him.
He had wanted to keep the original pendant and give the replica to Joyce first.
But today, after knowing that Silversword was the emblem of the Hurley family, he decided to put the
original pendant on Joyce, directly.
Because, after Mr. Ward's fine restoration, the pendant looked very different from when Ms. Armstrong
it gave him.
The Silversword pattern was very clear.
"What is this?" Joyce looked at the pendant in his hand and asked suspiciously, "An antique?"
The pendant looked somewhat old, certainly not a new one.
"Right. It's for you. Here, let me put it on you." He approached her and reached out to try to wear it for
her.
She didn't seem to recognize that it was her own pendant. After all, it was more than twenty years ago,
and normally one could not remember what happened in her childhood that much.
She might not remember.
"Wait, why am I wearing such a weird thing? Did you buy it?" Joyce leaned back to avoid him.
"Don't refuse. It's just a silver pendant. It’s not expensive, but very precious." He pressed her shoulder
to keep her from shrinking back.
Then he put the silver pendant on her, "Don't move. I'll adjust the length for you."
Joyce resented his almost coercive behavior.
However, for this silver pendant, she again has an inexplicable sense of familiarity and she did not
really repulse it.
"What the hell is this? There's a weird pattern on it." She frowned.
He carefully helped her adjust the length of the pendant. His handsome face was infinitely close to her,
and his hot breath was sprayed on her ears.
The long eyelashes, in the warm yellow light, cast a beautiful silhouette.
Occasionally, his affectionate eyes would glance at her.
It melted her heart.
His long, slender fingers, slightly cool, inadvertently and gently rubbed the back of her neck and her
slightly hot skin, and she could not help but shiver slightly all over.
She took a deep breath and controlled her heartbeat, as well as her breathing.
However, her heart was still racing and her breathing was still disordered.
Finally, he wore it for her.
Holding her thin shoulders, he nodded in satisfaction.
"Very good."
He said softly, but looked more serious than usual, "Remember, you must, must not take it down. Do
you hear me?"
"Oh."
As if somehow compelled by him, she froze and nodded her head.novelbin
