“Do you not like it?”
“No, I do!”
How could she not like it? She found the bracelet very special, distinctly different from the popular styles on the market, and could not help but look at it a few more times.
“Shall I help you put it on?”
Marion heard his offer and extended her wrist, “Why did you suddenly buy me a bracelet?”
She liked to keep her hands clean while playing the piano, so she rarely wore bracelets or rings.
However, her jewelry box was not lacking in bracelets.
As Lucas picked up the bracelet and fastened it around her wrist, “I thought it suited you, so I bought
it.”
“Oh?”
Lucas fastened the clasp and glanced at her. “You don’t need to worry. This bracelet didn’t cost much.
Marion looked at the bracelet on her wrist, curiously touching it, and asked, “How much did it cost
then?”
She felt like her idea of ‘not much‘ might be different from Lucas’s.
Knowing what she was thinking, Lucas replied, “A couple thousand dollars.”
So cheap?
Marion was skeptical. “Really?”
“Yes, just a small gift.
His words piqued Marion’s curiosity even more. “This bracelet doesn’t seem like a branded one.”
“You have great taste.”
He teased, then walked to the other side of the room and closed the curtains with the remote control.
The bright sunlight gradually diminished as the curtains closed completely, darkening the room.
Marion lifted her hand to look at the bracelet.
‘What’s so special about the bracelet that he would fancy it?‘ she wondered.
“Is it not nice?”
Marion shook her head. “No, it’s not that.” Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

She was just genuinely curious.
Lucas looked at her for a moment before speaking. “I bought it from an old lady.”
Marion smiled at that as she walked to his side and embraced him. “Doing a good deed, Mr. Craig?”
She leaned against him, rested her chin on his arm, and tilted her head slightly upward. When she looked at him, her eyes sparkled brightly.
Lucas loved it when she looked at him like that. Even the darkest room could not block out that
brightness.
“Her husband had given her the bracelet. He was terminally ill and they needed money, so she wanted to sell it.”
The bracelet was not made of any valuable material, and the design was not particularly remarkable.
Lucas had never considered himself a good person.
When the old lady had looked at him with pleading eyes, his heart remained unmoved. But as he was about to leave, her trembling voice stopped him in his tracks.
“This bracelet is called ‘Eternity‘. If you give it to your beloved, you’ll be together for eternity.”
Half a moment of hesitation was not enough to make him buy the bracelet, but it was enough for the old lady to explain further, “My husband and I have known and loved each other for fifty– eight years, supporting each other to this day. It’s been a lifetime for us. This bracelet may not be worth much money, but it’s a testament to our love. If it weren’t for my husband lying in the hospital, waiting for money to save his life, I wouldn’t even consider selling it.
“Young man, do you also have a beloved?”
‘Yes, I also have a beloved.‘ Lucas thought to himself.
So in the end, he spent the money to buy the bracelet and then gave it to Marion.
