Chapter 87
Bella stayed at the Meteor Atelier for three whole days.
To make a jade bracelet that resembled the one that Nigel gave her, Bella barely slept in the past three days. When she was tired, she would take a nap in the workshop. Then she would eat something simple and continue to work with the jade.
During the day, Bella shooed away her three brothers. But at night, they put aside all their social
activities and came back to have dinner with her.
Facing a table full of delicacies that her brothers bought for her, all of which were her favorites, Bella still frowned. She propped her chin up on her hand and pushed around the food on her plate.
The Thompson brothers were worried, but they did not know how to help her.
All of them were useless and knew nothing about jewelry.
“Ms. Bella.”
Bella returned to her thoughts and looked at Tony listlessly.
She saw Tony take out an embroidered jewelry box from behind that he had prepared early in the morning and place it in front of her.
“Uncle Tony, this is…”
“Open it and take a look.”
Bella frowned in confusion and opened the box.
She instantly covered her mouth in surprise and stared at the clear jade bracelet in the box.
Although there were still slight differences, it was very similar to the one Nigel gave her!
“My master left this to me. It was one of his works that he was most proud of during his lifetime. He originally wanted to give this jade bracelet to his beloved, but he failed to do so.” Tony sighed with
regret.
“Master Jayden has a wife? Isn’t he an old bachelor?” Axel asked curiously while chewing some meat.
Tony glanced at him. “Tsk! Everyone has a crush, okay?”
“Oh, I thought Master Jayden only liked stones and not women.”
Drew joked and took a sip of wine. “Then why didn’t he give it to his crush? Was he scared?”
“Master Jayden and his crush were studying at the same school. At that time, Master Jayden liked to tease her, but after twenty years of being friends, Master Jayden fell in love without knowing it. Later, when his crush got married, he wanted to give her this bracelet as a gift. But on her wedding day, she got into a serious car accident and was pronounced dead on site.”
The Thompson siblings were shocked by this information and were crestfallen.
“Since then, Master Jayden has sworn off love. He put all his feelings for his crush into jade carving and slowly healed his broken heart over the years.”
“His love for her will last forever. Master Jayden is the most affectionate man in this world.” Bella could not help but sigh. Her eyes were twinkling with envy.
“But all these tragedies stem from Master Jayden not confessing his love, isn’t it? That’s his fault…”
Asher, Axel, and Bella glared daggers at Drew. The man pursed his lips and drank in embarrassment.
Bella felt a bitterness in her heart.
Someone as unfeeling as Master Jayden could fall in love without even realizing it. Bella had been married to Justin for three years, but did that man ever feel even a sliver of affection for her?
Did Justin ever have the slightest regret when he divorced her?
No way.
If so, how could he hurt her with such insulting words over and over again? If so, how could he indiscriminately side with those insidious women and question her character?
After the divorce, Bella was no longer Justin’s wife, so he did not even bother to show any superficial respect for her.
Bella sneered in her heart, picked up the wine glass, and gulped it down. The burning sensation in her throat made her sober.
Comparing that bastard Justin to Master Jayden was such an insult to the late master that he would
roll around in his coffin.
“Ms. Bella, please take this bracelet. I compared it and found that this one is most similar to the one you broke.” Tony looked at her seriously.
“No, no, no… I can’t… This is Master Jayden’s relic. It’s too valuable. I can’t take it!” Bella panicked and hurriedly pushed the box back.
“My master’s last words before he died were to keep everything untouched. However, Wyatt’s children can take whatever they want when they grow up. They can come and play or take anything they wish to.”
Bella’s nose was sore, and her eyes were teary. “Uncle Tony,
I…”
“I have seen how much you have worked to restore that bracelet. That must be a very important friend to you. You’re a good girl who values friendships, so your Grandpa Jayden will definitely be very pleased to know this. Take it.” Tony smiled lovingly and forced the box into her hands.
That night, the Thompson siblings left the Meteor Atelier and said goodbye to Tony.
The Rolls-Royce drove back to Savrow. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Bella leaned on Asher’s shoulder. Her eyes were half-closed as she held the jewelry box firmly in her
arms.
“Bella, I have something to tell you. Justin contacted me the night you returned to Hatchbay.” Asher hesitated slightly. His voice was low and hoarse.
“Oh.” Bella’s heart twitched, but she reminded herself to keep calm.
