Gia froze, feeling the weight of Lina’s refusal for the first time since they had become friends.

Zuko, who had been silent, was surprised by Lina’s unexpected response. He had thought that she would prioritize her best friend and give the bangle to Gia. That’s why he had tried to stop her earlier.

Lina’s response exceeded Zuko’s expectations and warmed his heart. He couldn’t help but feel a glimmer of surprise in his eyes.

Gia smiled awkwardly, her emotions flickering as she looked at the couple before her. But she quickly regained her composure and changed her approach. “I understand that you value this bangle a lot, and I’m not refusing to give it back to you after trying it on. So… can I at least take a photo?”

Gia knew that Lina had a soft heart, and with a pitiful expression, she believed Lina would agree. After all, it was just a bangle. What harm could there be in taking a photo of it?

Although Gia couldn’t explain why, she had a gut feeling that this bangle was extraordinary and wanted Melvin to know about it. With that thought in mind, she smiled lightly and reached out to hold Lina’s arm.

However, Lina evaded her touch, calmly removing the bangle and placing it into Zuko’s hand. She smiled at Gia and said, “Zeke, it’s better to keep such a valuable item safe to prevent any damage.”

Zuko was momentarily taken aback but quickly smiled and turned to head upstairs, carrying the bangle with him.
