Lewis opened the box, revealing the exquisite diamond bracelet nestled inside.

Josephine frowned. She didn’t know if she should be disappointed or relieved.

He took out the bracelet and put it on her wrist. “I forgot to get you a birthday present, so I’m making up for it with this.”

He buckled the bracelet as he finished speaking, and it seemed too large for her. He had definitely had it made according to her wrist measurement, but it was still too large and slipped down to her palm when she lowered her arm. He frowned.

She stared at the bracelet, which looked very familiar to her. It suddenly occurred to her that it was the one Sierra had shared in their group chat. No wonder it was too big for her. It was someone’s unwanted trash. She wanted to retract her hand, but he held onto her wrist and took the bracelet off.

“It’s too big. I’ll send it back and have it adjusted.”

She pursed her lips and didn’t react.

Josephine nodded.
