Chapter 269 The Blossoming of Affection

Malcom had not had a chance to speak just now, and now found a moment to speak. With caution, he said, “Perhaps he has come to realize his debt to Ms. Aylin and wants to do something to make amends.”

Harry’s expression turned colder as he responded, “A piece of embroidered artwork, no matter its value, is insufficient to compensate for even a fraction of the suffering Aylin has endured. Thinking of making amends now? It’s too late!”

Malcom shook his head, finding the first gift acceptable but deeming the second one unworthy. “I suppose he didn’t put much thought into it.”

“But… the bracelet Ryker gave me was handmade by himself,” Aylin uttered, leaving everyone taken aback.
