Casey walked towards me step by step, trying to let me see the diamond bracelet on her wrist more clearly.
Then she gently shook the diamond bracelet twice as if showing off a treasure.
"Miss Hess, the pattern and base color of the diamond bracelet on your wrist are the same as mine, but your diamond bracelet seems to have impurities."
Looking at Casey's smug look, I secretly clenched my fists.
“Thank you for your concern, Miss Paul. It is common to have a similar bracelet after all, so it is not my concern right now. Please excuse me because I have something to do and need to leave now."
Just before I took my first step, she sneered, "Carla, be careful when you go home. Don't break the gift that Miquel gave you."
The word ‘gift’ from her mouth hurt my heart deeply.
It turned out that the diamond bracelet I had always treasured was actually a leftover piece from someone else.
Not long after I returned home, Miquel also came back.
Even though I was angry in my heart, I still felt sorry for him when I saw his tired eyes.
I had prepared earlier and had already forgotten. I walked to his side and wanted to take the briefcase from his hand, but at that moment Casey walked out from behind him.
Miquel saw my eyes fall on Casey, he immediately stood in front of his childhood sweetheart, fearing that I would hurt her.
“I haven't been back these past few days because I was accompanying Casey to see a doctor. She hasn't recovered from the shock she suffered from the last kidnapping.
"I brought her back so that I could take better care of her. Don't think too much about it."
After Miquel finished speaking, he took Casey's hand and led her to his bedroom.
For so many years, he and I have been sleeping separately. He always said that he went to bed late and was afraid of disturbing me. He also told me not to enter his bedroom easily because there were work materials in it.
But at that time, Casey, who had nothing to do with him, could enter at will. What was the difference between that and slapping me in the face in public then?
After coming out of Miquel's room, Casey said that it was her favorite bedroom on the second floor.
At that moment, she was walking in front like a child, laughing and talking happily, while Miquel was like her supporter.
Sometimes he reminded her to be careful with her steps and sometimes he stroked her head.
