Chapter 63 How Could You Just Throw It Away

Seeing the box in her hands, Linsey shot Collin a startled look. "A gift?"

After lecturing him, she was the one receiving a present? It felt almost unreal.

A warmth spread through her chest, and she hesitated before asking, “Can I open it now?"

Collin's gaze remained locked on her face as he watched for even the subtlest shift in her expression.

"Yes, you can," he replied.

necklace inside, she froze. The sheer brilliance of it was overwhelming.

A sharp gasp escaped her lips, and before she could think, she instinctively pushed the box toward him. "This... This is too
