Chapter 87 No Accident

“What?” Eileen exclaimed.

Then, Eileen witnessed Jasper retrieving a small black velvet pouch from his pocket. From within, he revealed a stunning Blake, crescent-shaped transparent pendant. The thin silver chain it hung from sparkled like a constellation of stars.

He approached slowly, but Eileen pushed him away. “No, I can’t accept it. It’s too valuable.”

Jasper’s gaze remained fixed on her, a hint of desolation in his voice. “Eileen, this necklace is a gift I personally designed for you. Today is not only your birthday but also the anniversary of our first formal meeting. If we are still friends, please don’t reject me, okay?”

The necklace was truly exquisite, flawless in every way. It was so beautiful that no one could resist admiring it upon seeing it.

His gaze was intense, and Eileen simply couldn’t bring herself to reject him. In a soft voice, she said, “But I have nothing to give you.”

“No worries. I’m already very happy that you could come today.”

Eileen’s eyelashes fluttered, her hands tightly clutching the hems on both sides of her dress as she nodded.

She agreed.

Jasper constantly reminded himself not to be overly anxious and to take things slowly. Yet, he couldn’t control the desire within his heart.

Jasper thought, “This girl before me is mine.”

He leaned over, personally placing the necklace around her neck. He brushed her long hair to one side, bringing him closer to her exposed, delicate, swan-like neck. Moreover, a sweet scent of strawberries emanated from her, which he found intoxicating.

Eileen was very sensitive. Perhaps it was a sense of self-protection, but she didn’t like people. getting too close to her. It could also be a trauma from her past life.

His hot breath spread across her neck, causing Eileen to shrink back a little in discomfort. “A- Are you done? I’m a bit cold.”

“Yes.” Jasper fastened the silver clasp, and the crescent pendant rested on her chest. It was as pure as her, as luminous as the moon, much like the beam of light that illuminated him, when he was in darkness.
