They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 207: I’ll Be With You The Entire Time Chapter 207: I’ll Be With You The Entire Time “Thank you,” Nnenna murmured, accepting them carefully.

Her fingers ran over the smooth surface of the ornate box before she slowly lifted the lid.

Inside, resting on a bed of deep midnight blue velvet, was a wristwatch that seemed almost too perfect to be real.

The band was made of interwoven platinum and rose gold, designed to be both delicate and strong, shimmering under the light like woven moonlight.

The watch face was an iridescent mother of pearl, shifting colors subtly as she moved it, with intricate golden hands that resembled delicate vines.

Small diamonds marked each hour, and in place of numbers, tiny, intricately carved symbols of stars and constellations traced around the edge, each one glowing faintly as if capturing the night sky itself.

At the center, right beneath the watch hands, was a tiny inscription in an elegant script: For the one who is beyond time.

Nnenna sucked in a sharp breath.

“This… This is…” Her voice failed her as she stared at the masterpiece in her hands.

“You like it?” Carl asked, his tone casual, but his eyes carefully watching her reaction.

“Like it?” she repeated, finally tearing her gaze from the watch to look at him, her eyes wide with disbelief.

“This is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.

I—How did you even find something like this?” Carl smirked.

“Had it made just for you.

A sister I chose, someone as rare as you should have something one of a kind, right?” Her heart stuttered for a moment.

She wasn’t sure if it was from the beauty of the gift or the way he said those words so easily.

Either way, she had no idea how to respond.

But one thing was clear to her, she had hit the jackpot in family, even if they weren’t biological siblings.

Carl was her….family.

Seeing her speechless, Carl chuckled and pushed the second box toward her.

“Here’s what I promised you,” he said, his tone light but firm.
