Ryan almost lost control.
He could only turn his face away. "Get in the car. Let's go home.”
On the way home, Freya opened the box. There was a starry moon necklace inside, and tiny diamonds were embedded on a small moon. It was dazzling.
"It’s so pretty," Freya praised, and her eyes lit up. "But...
It must be expensive."
"It’s not expensive. Just a few thousand dollars. There aren't a lot of diamonds on it." Ryan did not want her t o feel burdened.
A few thousand dollars was indeed not expensive to a family like theirs.
However, as the person receiving the present, Freya felt embarrassed. "You’ve given me such a good gift, but I don't have anything for you..."
"Didn't you give me a scarf last time?" Ryan said nonchalantly with a smile.
"That scarf was only more than a hundred dollars..."
"If you feel embarrassed, I don’t mind you giving me another small gift." Ryan stopped being polite." However, there's no need to return the gift. You don't
have to get me a present of the same value as what I've given you. That’ll be meaningless.” 1
Freya initially had that exact thought. However, after hearing his words, she canceled her idea. "What present would you like?”
The car passed through a crossroad when Ryan thought of something. "My belt isn't very good. You can give me a new one, but don't buy one that's too expensive, though. I don't want shady people taking pictures of it and saying that I'm involved in embezzlement." 1
Freya understood instantly and quickly nodded her head.
After nodding, she was deep in thought again.
Why did it have to be a belt?
Freya had dated and gotten married before. She knew that a girl giving a man belts and scarves suggested a n ambiguous relationship.
However, she saw Ryan's honest expression.
