Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

He pulled her arms from the back of his neck a few seconds later.

“There’s something I’d like to show you.”

Yulissa traced Xavier’s gaze and turned her attention toward the couch.

To her surprise, there was a black velvet box, and inside was obviously a piece of jewelry.

“Is that for me?” asked Yulissa, pleasantly surprised.

Xavier murmured an affirmative reply and said, “Open and take a look. If you don’t like it, I can have someone exchange it for something else.”

“No,” replied Yulissa gleefully. “I love it as long as it’s from you.”

As she spoke, she opened the box.

The sparkly diamonds inside shone brightly the second the lights hit them.

It was a complete diamond set with a pair of earrings, a bracelet, and a necklace. Even the extra diamonds were all at least two carats. The real deal, the necklace, had a diamond that was almost as big as a dove’s egg.

Yulissa’s eyes lit up.

She was absolutely delighted with her gift.

Just a few hours ago, she was jealous of how Xavier had gotten a bracelet for another woman.

That bracelet is nothing compared to the set of diamonds in front of me. It would be better if he got me a diamond ring as well, though…

Greed overtook Yulissa at that moment. She felt that the pieces of jewelry weren’t good enough.

“Xavier,” said Yulissa as she picked up the necklace happily. “This is so beautiful. Will you help me put it on? I can’t do it on my own since I can’t look at the back of my head.”

To her surprise, Xavier turned down her request stoically. “There’s a mirror in the dressing room.”

Of course I know there’s a mirror in the dressing room. Is he really that dense, or he’s just pretending?
