Acting as if he were impervious to the crowd's profound shock, Alex delicately placed the jade hairpin into Jewel's outstretched hand, a gentle smile gracing his lips.

"I thought this jade hairpin would look perfect on you, so I brought it for you," he murmured to Jewel, whose eyes were now aglow with excitement as she beheld the jade hairpin in her hand.

For reasons she couldn't explain, Jewel suddenly felt a deep bond establish itself between herself and the jade hairpin in her hand.

It was as if the hairpin possessed an innate protective power that would shield her from harm as long as it was with her.

Feeling weightless and liberated, she sat up erect on the bed when suddenly, the memories from the previous day came rushing back to her mind. Immediately, a broad smile graced her face, and she began to grin foolishly to herself. Instinctively, her hand reached to her neck, which currently bore an exceedingly exquisite necklace. After caressing the necklace for a while, she touched her head and brushed her hand carefully and gently against the cool object there. She was suddenly tempted to remove the two accessories and admire them, but upon recollecting the promise she had made to her Fiancée last night before they both parted ways, she refrained. With the smile on her face remaining unchanged, she abruptl

But the moment Alex finally awoke and left the bedroom, he was once again engulfed in guilt, even more than last night. Truth be told, Alex was no fool, and even if he were, Dami's emotions and intentions had long been shown by her and evident to him for a while now.
