Chapter 3

“Here,” Brian said, interrupting Grace’s thoughts flatly. At the same time, he placed an exquisite box in

front of her.

Grace was slightly struck dumb.

“Birthday present,” Brian explained coldly.

“Oh, thank you,” she replied, opening it to find a beautiful bracelet. She wasn’t really an expert when it came to jewelry, but it somehow looked really nice.

However, she didn’t want to accept it. Over the past three years, Brian had given her many things, and she had politely declined each one. The few she couldn’t refuse were neatly kept in her room’s cabinet, never used.

‘Maybe I can consider it as a support payment from the father, thought Grace.

Thinking this, Grace didn’t hesitate. She closed the box and put it in her bag..

Brian observed her actions with a dark, disdainful look in his eye. ‘So, all her previous refusals of expensive gifts are just an act. With only three months left, she is trying to take what she can get before it is too late, isn’t she?‘ thought Brian.
