Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Platinum Ring

Translator: 549690339

After some thought, Emily Walker removed the ring and turned to look at him. “It’s too big,” she said and handed the ring back to him.

Baron Stuart looked at the ring that was handed back to him, his eyebrows furrowed as if deep in thought.

Emily looked up unintentionally and saw the mandarin duck stone pendant on his neck. “I don’t want your ring; give me that back instead.”

Taking the opportunity to make a deal and exchange the mandarin duck stone wasn’t a bad idea!

Baron Stuart frowned and turned to look at her. The next instant, his face changed immediately!

“What do you mean, ‘give it back’? This is already mine! You, woman, how dare you ask for it back after I’ve been wearing it for so long?!” For the first time, Baron Stuart revealed a childish side, protectively covering the pendant on his neck, as if afraid she would snatch it away.

Witnessing his expression, Emily was instantly flustered…

Really, this man… Wasn’t that her stuff from the beginning? Wasn’t it only natural for her to want it back?

Baron Stuart ignored her and started the car, turning the steering wheel to the left.

After ten minutes, the car stopped in front of a jewelry shop.

Emily, somewhat puzzled, looked out of the car window. Before she could recover her senses, Baron Stuart had already opened her car door, pulled her out, and entered the jewelry shop with her.

As soon as the two approached the counter, the manager of the jewelry shop greeted them.

“Mr. Stuart.’

Baron Stuart didn’t speak, his deep pupils attentively observing the platinum necklaces in the counter.

“Show me this one.” He spotted a platinum chain and looked up to address the manager.

Upon hearing this, the manager hastily instructed the sales clerk to fetch the platinum chain.

Baron Stuart examined it in his hand, then turned to the person beside him and asked calmly, “Do you like it?”

Emily was slightly startled, not fully understanding his actions, but since he asked her, she nodded honestly. “Yes.”

She really thought the chain was quite nice.

He took out a gold card to pay the bill and then led her back to the car.

In the driver’s seat, Baron Stuart took out the chain and threaded his own ring onto it.

Looking at the small ring on the necklace, he couldn’t help but feel it had a special significance.

Baron Stuart smiled with satisfaction, then reached out and handed the necklace over. “Put it on!” His tone was authoritative and brooked no refusal.

‘ Staring at the suddenly proffered necklace, Emily was dumbfounded and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Was he giving the necklace to her?

“Do you… Want me to put it on for you?” Seeing her unresponsive, dazed expression, Baron Stuart asked flirtatiously.

Emily snapped back to reality and said hesitantly, “I don’t need this. Just give me back the mandarin duck—”

Her voice was abruptly cut off. In the next instant, Baron Stuart leaned forward and fastened the necklace around her neck.

“You’re not allowed to take it off without my permission, and you must wear it every day.” Baron Stuart issued orders in a domineering and imposing manner.

Emily was once again taken aback, reaching up to touch the platinum ring on her neck.

Why did this man insist on giving her the ring?

“What about when I take a bath?” Was she supposed to wear it even while bathing?

She turned to look at him, somewhat speechless.

This time it was Baron Stuart’s turn to be stunned. After a second of silence, he finally replied, “Only during baths; it must not be removed at any other time..”
