Bang!
The little box fell into the bin with a thump.
Charlie's face darkened, and he said in an unhappy tone, "If you don't want, then I’ll throw it away!"
After that, he swung his arms and left quickly.
Wendy didn't move and watched his tall and cold back, fearing that she would be lost if she was alone.
She remembered that the necklace cost more than 11,000 dollars, which was equivalent to some people's annual salary. However, he didn't hesitate at all and just threw it away.
Even if it was not her money, Wendy still felt sorry for it.
She bit her lips, "I want it..."
Charlie stopped and turned around after hearing her words. He looked at her with a gloomy look.
Wendy compromised. She went to the trash bin and picked up the small blue box. The white bowknot on the box was stained with dirt. She wiped it with her hand carefully.
Then, she opened it and found the sunflower shaped key pendant was lying in it.
It looked more beautiful than in the store. The diamonds inlaid in it were so dazzling and eyecatching. Wendy raised her hand to touch the pendant, but someone took it up before she could do.
She looked up and saw Charlie's face was approaching her. She didn't know when he had come back. He slightly bent, and then she felt a cold on her neck. The pendant was hanging before her collarbone.
Charlie didn't let go of her and put his hand on the back of her neck.
He slightly pulled her forward and looked into her eyes, "You must wear it wherever you go from now on!"
"Okay." Wendy nodded.
"Wear it all the time!"
"I got it..."
"You're not allowed to take it off even while you’re showering!"
"OK..."
After she had promised to him three times, Charlie raised his eyebrows with satisfaction.
Wendy was used to his mood swings. She could only complain about his bossiness in her mind.
However, when she looked down and saw the shiny necklace, she felt stressed. She had never worn such an expensive jewelry before. She looked around from time to time and was always worried that someone would rob it...
Wendy picked up the pendant and put it into her collar.
Then, she stroked it through her shirt. Charlie noticed what she was doing, and the gloom in his eyes gradually disappeared.
He put his arm around her shoulder and said in a better tone, "Let's go. Times Square is over there. I'll show you around!"
It was slightly dark when they got there.
Times Square was worthy of being called the Crossroad of the World. It was very crowded there. With lights on, it looked so prosperous.
When Charlie held Wendy’s hand, she held back tightly. Otherwise, she would be easily parted from him by the crowd.
She felt like a bumpkin who had only seen little of the world. Everything here was novel for her.
Charlie raised his hand, which was holding Wendy’s hand, and pointed at a distant street, "It's still early. We can go to see the opera later."
"Okay!" Wendy nodded.
After wandering around the square for a while, she licked her lips and felt a little thirsty.
Charlie, who was standing next to her, asked, "What do you want to drink?"
"Salt soda water." Wendy blurted out.
Charlie looked at the convenience store across the road and pulled her to the side of the flower bed, "Wait here. I’ll be back soon. Don't walk around!"
