Chapter 130 Looking at the diamond earrings in the trash can, Jerscowled. “What the heck is wrong with you, Mikayla?” “Why don’t you ask yourself?” Mikayla snapped. “Don’t buy gifts forwhen you don’t even mean it. I'm not a recycling center for your trash. | don’t want stuff that belongs to someone else!” Wary that she might be even more furious if she found out that the earrings were from Kylie, Jerkept his composure and said patiently, “They don’t belong to anyone. Look, the price tag is still here. They are completely new.” “That isn’t enough to prove that they are new!” Mikayla snorted. “Jerome, if you're trying to two- tme, can you at least find out what I like? Otherwise, don’t bother. Just ignorelike you always do!” Jerome's patience vanished immediately upon her mocking insults. “Fine, it's my fault then! | don’t give a damn about what you think!” Visibly sullen, he stomped out of the room.

Did he think she'd stoop that low for him, as if she would just gladly accept anything he offered? Her fury grew the more she pondered on it. As she kicked the trash can in a fit of rage, the earrings tumbled out from it and glimmered under the light.
Initially, Mikayla thought of trampling them and flushed them down the toilet. Taking note of their exquisite design and the delicate diamonds engraved on them, she picked them up. It'd be a waste to just flush them down the toilet. They cost an arm and a leg, after all.
Still, money was what mattered most. Mikayla decided to sell the earrings on the internet.
Connor felt intimidated by Jerome. He sat with him in a café, brooding in silence.

Though | admit that I'm only treating you for you to go easy on me, I've worked my ass off for this proposal. | pulled two consecutive all-nighters-" “Don’t all women like presents? Why was she so mad after | gave her a present?” Jersuddenly asked.
Connor was relieved that Jerwasn’t mad at his proposal because it was subpar. Patting his chest in relief, he inquired, What did you give Mikayla?” “A pair of earrings.” hapter “What design was it? Was she mad because she hated the design?” “If I knew, | wouldn't have asked you!” Jerwas seething. He meant good to give her a present, yet she lashed out at him in return.
Comforting him, Connor said, “Alright, Jay, chill. Tellwhat happened. | can surely tell you why she got mad.” Jerwas awash in dread. Impatiently, he told Connor what happened that morning.
“She said she doesn’t want something that belongs to someone else. The earrings were new! How on earth did they belong to someone else?” “Jay, It seems pretty clear to me.” Connor was impressed by how dense he was. “Mikayla asked you when you bought them because she thought the earrings weren’t meant for her. It seemed more like you were compensating her for the guilt you felt after you went to the hospital.
“Jay, why didn’t you pick something for her since you wanted to buy her a gift? You gave her someone else's present and you couldn't say it to her face, thus the misunderstanding.” Jerglared at Connor.
