I'd be happy to go shopping or have meals with you."

Kelly couldn't bear to deceive her further. Just as she was about to clarify, Louisa took out her phone.

"Letadd you as a contact, dear. Even though | have many children, none can really be around to keepcompany. It didn't

Kelly took out her phone and opened her contacts, "Auntie, I'd love to hang out, but the relationship with David."

"l get it, you two are just dating. As to whether you will make it to marriage, that depends on his behavior. David may seem

carefree, but he's actually very caring. You can ask Bella if you don’t believe me."

"Auntie, | know David's a great person."

"You are just like Bella, so young and yet so capable, already able to manage a corporation, still practically a university freshman."

Mentioning Arabella made Louisa's eyes well up with tears again. Arabella was too understanding, having suffered silently for so

long while being bullied by Serena.

Kelly wanted to comfort her, knowing Bella never coff worse in her encounters with Serena.

But Louisa brushed away and smiled, " | have digressed. You cto see Bella today, didn’t you? | won't keep you much longer.

Letput this bracelet on you."

"No, | can't accept it. David and | are not the relationship you think we are, just now we were only..."

Before Kelly could finish, Louisa's phone rang.

"lI understand. You two were just having a little spat earlier. It's okay, | won't take it to heart. He was at fault, and you had every

right to be upset. Just wear it for now."

Louisa slipped the bracelet onto Kelly's wrist and gestured for her to go find Bella. Then she picked up her call, diving into a chat

with her friend.

Kelly didn’t get a chance to speak a word.

After a while, Kelly approached Arabella, gesturing to the bracelet on her wrist. They headed to the garden, and David followed.

"Bella, what should | do? She has got it all wrong. I've tried so many times and can't get this bracelet off." Kelly struggled again to

remove it, but the bracelet seemed custom-made, clinging snugly to her wrist.

Arabella gave a small, amused smile. "The white jade actually looks pretty good on you."

"Pretty good? This is supposed to be for the daughter-in-law." Kelly was still trying to remove it when she saw David beside her.

"You need to explain to Auntie after she's off the phone."

Before she could finish, Kenneth cout to see off sguests.

The guests noticed her prominently displayed bracelet and complimented Kelly, "What a beautiful bracelet."

Kenneth grinned and said, "It's for the daughter-in-law."

"Just as | thought. Kelly didn't have a bracelet on when she arrived, and then in the blink of an eye, she's wearing such a beautiful

one. It seems a wedding is near—congratulations!"

"With that bracelet on, Kelly's skin looks even fairer, and she seems more elegant altogether."
