After all, this necklace is so expensive and dazzling. He could not understand why any girl would not want it!
With a soft sigh, Grandma Zhong replied adamantly. "I've decided that this necklace will only be yours to keep. I will not want to give it to anyone else."
Despite knowing that the two of them are not in a real relationship, Grandma Zhong still genuinely likes Stephanie Ruan. She hopes that her grandson could also see the good in her and continue to keep her by his side.

Seeing her look of hesitation, she nodded heavily while urging her, "Listen to grandma and just keep it first... You can return it to me again if you decide not to marry Javier in the future."

Upon hearing that, Stephanie Ruan's expression immediately darkened. "Javier, you agreed to give me some time!""I did! Is 10 hours not enough? That is already quite some time..."Stephanie Ruan could not believe her ears and is completely speechless!Wait... what did he just say?!... 10 hours??!!Other people count by the days and weeks, but this man actually dared to count by the hours and act so righteously??..."Forget it... Take this back!" Stephanie Ruan pushed the bouquet back into his arms angrily. She does not want to take anything from him!This action of hers made Javier Zhong enter into panic mode. He forced the flowers back into her arms and anxiously held on to her hands, "Stephanie, don't do this... I'm sorry, I was just joking. I will give you time."Seeing that she has calmed down a little, he slowly added with a pleading look, "But don't make me wait for too long okay?

Has he even done anything wrong to her before??Not only did he innocently get an earful from her for no particular reason, but the current atmosphere also does not feel right for him to hold her hand as well.What a downer for his self-

What if he takes advantage of you during the trip? And you are in a foreign place, how are you going to call for help?!..."As Mia Xue is still blabbering on and on, Stephanie Ruan hurriedly reached for the button to decrease her phone's volume so that Javier Zhong could no longer eavesdrop on their call.Who knows how terrible his expression is right now!She really does not dare to turn her head to look at him anymore..."It's okay, I'll be fine! Don't worry about me, okay?
