NovelEnglishChapter 25 The two of them also prepared gifts for me. Jack also handedan exquisite gift box. "Hope you like it." "Thank you, Jack." I thanked him with a smile.
Seeing a delicately unique dress inside the box, I was a bit surprised and looked at him, "Did you design this?" "Yeah, just this one." Jack smiled.

He concealed the surge of emotions in his eyes, and the curve of his lips seemed shallow. "I couldn't find the opportunity to give it to your before, but it seems like now is the right time." "What is it?" Jane leaned over curiously.
I opened it and looked at Ryan in astonishment. "Did you buy it?" It was a pair of ruby earrings.
At a recent auction, these earrings, a collector's item, attracted many bidders and were ultimately sold for over 4 million dollars. I also liked jewelry and had forwarded posts about it on social media. But I never expected that Ryan had bought them and would give them to me.

"I like it!" Jane stoppedfrom returning the earrings, showing a sincere smile to Ryan. "Thank you, Mr. Frost! Mr. Frost is the most generous ex-husband in the world!" "Ahem..." I was choked by my own saliva and coughed repeatedly, glaring at her.

"Silly girl, you shouldn't reject gifts for no reason! Your divorce settlement is almost nothing, so why can't you accept a gift?" "What divorce settlement? This house is worth eight figures." I chuckled.
"Can you easily liquidate this house? Foolish! Keep the jewelry. It can be worn to keep up appearances and can be used in case of need." She continued, "This amount of money is nothing to him. Besides, if your don't want it, who knows who it might fall into the hands of? Why should you give someone else a bargain?"
At the end of the housewarming party, Tom and Jane had alreadyn drunk. quite a bit and were lying on n the sofa. In their sleep, Tom had one hand on Jane's waist, and Jane, in a daze, kicked him off the sofa. "Get lost!" +15 BONUS I couldn't help but smile wryly. I brought two blankets and placed one on each of them.
When I looked up inadvertently, I met Ryan's gaze. He seemed a bit tipsy, with drooping eyelids and shrugged shoulders, showing a bit of a slump that didn't fit him at all. I approached him and whispered, "Lettake you home."
