Chapter 82 I Need a Wife

Was this man seriously burning money just because he could? That watch was so expensive, and just because she wouldn't accept it, he threw it away?

"It was custom-made just for you, with your name engraved on it," he explained. "If you don't want it, the watch is worthless. What's the point of keeping something that has no value?" Engraved with her name?

Galatea quickly glanced outside. Alaric had already tossed the gift box into the sea, and as a wave approached, it threatened to sweep the box away for good.

Without a second thought, Galatea leaped off the yacht to retrieve it. Seeing this, Alaric immediately jumped in after her. As a wave loomed over them, Alaric quickly shielded Galatea. "Don't you see the tide coming in? Have you lost your mind?" Alaric scolded.

Clutching the rescued gift box tightly in her hands, Galatea scolded back, "This is all your fault! You throw away an expensive watch and then blame me for it? I'm not taking the fall for this!"

Galatea then pressed the gift box back into his hands, saying, "If you're going to throw it away, do it when I'm not looking. Don't guilt-trip me!"

With that said, Galatea climbed back onto the yacht, her clothes now half-soaked. She sat on the sofa, wringing out the water from her garments.

Alaric was at a loss, amused yet frustrated by her unique nerve.

"I picked out that gift for you with so much care. You really don't want it?" he asked again.

"If it were just an ordinary watch, I would have gratefully accepted," Galatea replied, looking straight at Alaric. "But because it's a special custom piece, I can't. You being wealthy is one thing; you spending money on a watch like it's nothing is your prerogative, but for me, it's an unbearable burden.
