Chapter 129

up after a good night’s sleep the next . She was exhausted her session last night. Without second thought, she collapsed into slumber her shower.

Stretching her body, she reached for her phone to through the news.

It was then she spotted a burgundy velvet box beside her. Curious, she opened it and found out it was a pair diamond earrings. The design was simple yet exquisite even the sheer amount diamonds didn’t make them look gaudy. They were perfect for daily wear.

Mikayla never purchased this, but they were obviously for her since the box was placed on her bedside She wondered if Jerome had left it there.

, that means you’ve already bought the earrings. Yet, you didn’t give them to me right away. Instead, you chose to give them to me after you’ve been to the hospital.”

“So, they mean nothing to me.” Mikayla tossed it into the trash can. “This is where they belong.”
