Chapter 943:
Joey sat down opposite me.
Curiosity piqued, I reached out and began to open the parcel.
Inside the package was a thin layer of plastic. As I peeled it away, I found a thick plastic bag. When I opened the bag, there was a paper box inside, and when I opened the paper box, a yellow cotton bag was revealed.
Seeing this, Joey couldn’t help but laugh.
“Did someone deliberately make fun of you?”
With each layer I removed, I couldn’t help but tilt my head in confusion.
Finally, I opened the cloth bag, and a half-foot-wide black velvet box appeared. The box was exquisitely crafted.
The next moment, under Joey’s watchful gaze, I reached out and opened the black velvet box.
As soon as the box was opened, I was blinded by the dazzling light inside.
Inside the box lay a set of ruby jewelry. The necklace was intricately crafted, with the main stone larger than a thumbnail, surrounded by four auxiliary stones the size of small fingernails. It seemed to be the finest heliotrope stone, adorned with countless small diamonds. There was also a matching pair of ruby earrings.
“Wow, this set of jewelry is gorgeous,” Joey said, reaching out to take the velvet box. Her eyes almost popped out at the sight of the ruby jewelry.
“This set will probably cost millions of dollars. Does Herbert want to surprise you? Did he have it sent to you while he’s not at home?”
I also thought it must be a surprise from Herbert. A happy smile appeared on my face, but I couldn’t help but think, This Herbert gave me such a valuable gift, and he didn’t even tell me.
At that moment, a beige card suddenly appeared in the gap of the velvet box.
“What’s that?”
Joey also noticed the card on the table. She reached out and grabbed it, lowering her head to glance at it. Then she opened her mouth wide.
“Klein?”
Hearing this, I was also shocked and quickly reached out to take the card from Joey’s hand. Two lines of text were written on the card.
“I happened to have a business trip on the day of the wedding, so I won’t be able to attend. This set of jewelry was bought for you last time when we were about to get married. It’s useless for me to keep it now. It’s a wedding gift for you.
In the past few days, I’ve thought a lot. Maybe I really should give up loving you. I’m going to find my own happiness. It may take some time, but I believe I can find it.
Bella, it’s really good to know you. Although we can’t be lovers, I hope that when we meet again, we can still be friends. I wish you a happy wedding and eternal happiness.”
The signature read Klein.
I recognized Klein’s handwriting. He must have written it himself. After reading those words, I felt much more at ease.
In the letter, Klein said he would let go of his love for me and find happiness that belonged to him.
