My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 768

I frowned, wanting to voice my objection. But I remembered how I said that if Josiah wanted to spend time with Anne, I would allow it.

After a pause, I asked, "For how long?"

"Around ten days or so."

The frown on my face remained. The winter holidays were no longer than a month, yet here Josiah was, wanting to take her away for more than half a month. To say I was displeased would be an understatement.

Hendrix put the hairdryer away when he saw that I was silent. "My annual leave is quite long. I've always wanted to take you to Russland, but I couldn't find the time. We could go together then."

I looked back at him. "Are you saying you said yes to Josiah?"

He shook his head and smiled, "I didn't say anything."

After thinking for a while, I nodded and said, "Well, it's not the best idea to take Anne to such a cold place."

Suddenly, I realized he put something on my wrist. I looked down and saw a jade bracelet sitting on my previously bare wrist.

I looked up at him, puzzled. "Why are you making me wear this out of the blue?"

There was plenty of jewelry at home, but I didn't make a habit of wearing them. I was more of a plain jane outside of home.

He flashed me a small smile. "Jade has health benefits. There's no harm wearing it."

I nodded, looking down at the jade bracelet. "The bundle of jade bracelets that Uncle Charles gave me are just too precious. I wore them once and couldn't bear to put them on again. Where did you get this jade bracelet from?"

He pursed his lips and combed my long hair for me. "Evan bought it when he was away at Myanway for a business trip. It's not expensive."

I knew nothing much about jades, but I know he wasn't being fully honest. The color and quality of the jade looked too lovely to be from Myanway.

The next day.

The sun was shining brightly in Jarold City. I heard the doorbell ring downstairs.

After my senses sank in, I realized that Aunt Nerissa and the Moore Family would be coming for the New Year.
