NovelEnglishChapter 1522:
“You really don’t recognize it?” Eric let out a quiet laugh. “It's the gift you gave me.”
Recognition dawned on her. She hadn't expected him to actually turn that peach pit into a pendant and wear it
on his wrist.
A memory flashed—Hadley had tried to make whistles out of peach pits the other day, mostly to amuse Joy. She
later gave Eric one as well. Now, seeing it on Eric's wrist caught her completely off guard.
“I had it polished and added to this cord.” Eric flexed his wrist, making the small pendant dangle. “Looks good,

The small charm gleamed, looking far more beautiful than she remembered.
Still, Hadley hesitated, unsure how to respond. “You really shouldn't wear such a cheap trinket,” she murmured,

“That's alright. Con.” Eric reached over, offering his hand to help her up. “It’s a bit of a walk back, but
moving around will help us digest. Plus, the night air’'s pretty refreshing.”

Hadley nodded in agreement. “That sounds good.”
She knew she needed to walk off the heaviness before even thinking about sleep.
Stepping outside the restaurant, the crisp air greeted them.
“This is wonderful.” Hadley closed her eyes for a moment and breathed it in.
Eric watched her. “I was worried you might get chilly.”
Hadley shot him a teasing look. “Chilly? No way! It's summertime!”

“Do you see it now?” she asked.
