Chapter 33 Couple Watches

Bathed in the warm glow of the street lights, Christina walked down the deserted streets and looked around her.

The next second, she spoke into the phone. “Three, two, one.

As soon as she finished counting down, a sleek, black Jaguar suddenly skidded to a halt in front of her, the gust of wind causing her skirt to fly up. It was, without a doubt, quite a sight to behold.

Everything happened so fast that Christina jumped in shock, heaving a sigh of relief only when she saw Nathaniel stepping out of the driver’s seat.

Argh. I forgot that Nathaniel has many cars and changes them frequently. Sometimes I don’t even recognize them….

Ever the gentleman, Nathaniel strode toward Christina and opened the passenger door for her.

The inside of the car was slightly cold, and while Christina was fastening her seat belt, Nathaniel whipped out a beautiful gift box and placed it in her hand. “Open it and have a look.”

Christina did as instructed, only to find an exquisite custom-made watch nestled within. With its bezel embellished with several brilliant-cut diamonds, it was both luxurious and tastefully elegant.

“Thank you. Isn’t this really expensive, though? I don’t think I can accept it.”

Upon hearing that, Nathaniel pulled up his sleeve to reveal a similarly designed watch around his left wrist. “These are couple watches. What am I supposed to do if you don’t wear yours? Wear them both?”

Christina instantly burst into laughter.

She would’ve flatly refused Nathaniel’s gift in the past, but now, she was so touched by everything he had done for her that she couldn’t find a reason to turn him down.

With that thought in mind, she wore the watch on her right wrist to match Nathaniel.

When the car stopped at the traffic lights, Christina suddenly realized they weren’t headed toward her grandmother’s place. “Where are you taking me to?”
