Chapter 72

Danielle smiled at me and said, “Girl, this bracelet has been passed down in my family. I have always cherished it, and I wanted to give it to my future daughter-in-law.”

“No, Grandma, this is too valuable, I cannot accept it.”

I hurriedly tried to take off the bracelet.

Danielle, however, held onto my hand and earnestly said, “If you admit that you are Reynaldo’s wife, my great-granddaughter-in-law, then please keep this bracelet.”

Because in your heart, you never considered yourself as my wife, so naturally you wouldn’t acknowledge yourself as her daughter-in-law.

Suddenly, Reynaldo’s words filled my mind, full of icy accusations.

At that moment, I truly wanted to be his wife and sincerely wanted to be my grandmother-in-law’s daughter-in-law.

However, he didn’t care anymore.

I didn’t want this bracelet because I felt like it should belong to Kimberly.

Seeing Danielle’s hopeful eyes, I couldn’t bear to disappoint her.

Well, later I will give it back to Reynaldo, it’s the same.

Seeing that I didn’t refuse anymore, Danielle immediately smiled with joy and said, “This is my good daughter-in-law. In fact, I wanted to give it to you a long time ago. Now that I have given it to you, it can be considered as fulfilling an old lady’s wish.”

I caressed the smooth bracelet, and once again, guilt overflowed in my heart.

In Danielle’s heart, I have always been so good, but I…

Tears uncontrollably streamed down.

Danielle smiled kindly at me and said, “Silly child, why are you crying? Did Reynaldo bully you?”

I shook my head randomly and choked, “He didn’t bully me, it was Grandma, Grandma, you were too good to me.”

“What a silly girl you are, you are your grandmother’s daughter-in-law, who else would she treat well?”

At this moment, a servant came up and shouted to her, “Madam, the banquet has already been going on for half a day, and everyone is still waiting for you downstairs.”

Danielle looked at me and said, “Girl, do you want to go down with Grandma or do you want to rest here for a while?”

“Grandma, you go ahead, I want to sit here for a while.”

“Okay, Grandma will go downstairs first. Later, Grandma will call Reynaldo to come up and accompany you.”

Danielle said and then walked out with the help of the servant.

I stared blankly at the bracelet on my wrist, and tears fell even more fiercely.

At this moment, I no longer harbored any resentment towards Reynaldo.

Danielle was truly a wonderful person, and I used to mock her like that. Not to mention Reynaldo, even I myself wished I could disappear.

Afraid that Reynaldo would get angry, I dared not stay in the room for long.

I struggled to adjust my emotions and then limped slowly towards the outside.

As I walked up to the door, I saw Reynaldo leaning against the nearby wall, smoking.

I was taken aback and stared at him blankly.

I don’t know how long he stayed at the door, or if he heard my conversation with Danielle.

Reynaldo did not look at me.

He smoked intermittently, with a lazy posture, and the coldness in his body had diminished considerably compared to just now.

Downstairs in the courtyard, the joyful music could be heard continuously, accompanied by the host’s lively and humorous speeches.

I asked him, “Why didn’t you stay downstairs?”

He gently blew a smoke ring before looking at me.

The coldness between his eyebrows has dissipated somewhat, but the look in his eyes towards me remains cold and indifferent.

When he lowered his gaze, his eyes fell on my wrist.

I hurriedly took off the bracelet and handed it to him, saying, “This is what my grandmother gave me just now, and now I’m giving it back to you.”

Reynaldo furrowed his brows deeply and said, “What? Don’t want it? Are you disgusted?”

“No,” I shook my head hastily, “this thing is too valuable, and it doesn’t belong to me. You should go back and give it to Kimberly.”

Reynaldo did not speak.

He turned his head and took a slight breath.

I saw his jawline tightening bit by bit, resembling suppressed anger.

I unconsciously took a step back and nervously looked at him.

After a long while, he chuckled lightly and looked at me coldly, saying, “This was given to you by her, so you better keep it yourself. If you don’t cherish it and casually throw it away, I will definitely kill you!”

I instinctively tightened my grip on the bracelet in my hand and exclaimed urgently, “But I had already divorced you, I am not her daughter-in-law, this bracelet doesn’t belong to me.”

“Shut up!” he suddenly bellowed at me, his crimson eyes glaring at me fiercely.
