Chapter 48 27920

When Elvira dropped Cole off, he presented her with a bracelet that he had prepared for her. Opening the box to find a beautiful diamond bracelet inside, she asked in surprise, "Where did you get the money to buy this?"

"I saved up for it," he replied, his mood heavy, yet his expression remained stoic.

"With your monthly budget of 600 dollars covering food, clothing, housing, and transportation, you managed to save up for a bracelet?" she was truly impressed by his dedication.

"It didn't cost that much," he responded flatly.

"Get some rest too. Good night," he said before getting out of the car and watching her drive away.
