Bella stayed at the Meteor Atelier for three whole days.
To make a jade bracelet that resembled the one that Nigel gave her, Bella barely slept in the past three
days. When she was tired, she would take a nap in the workshop. Then she would eat something
simple and continue to work with the jade.
During the day, Bella shooed away her three brothers. But at night, they put aside all their social
activities and came back to have dinner with her.
Facing a table full of delicacies that her brothers bought for her, all of which were her favorites, Bella
still frowned. She propped her chin up on her hand and pushed around the food on her plate.
The Thompson brothers were worried, but they did not know how to help her.
All of them were useless and knew nothing about jewelry.
âMs. Bella.â
Bella returned to her thoughts and looked at Tony listlessly.
She saw Tony take out an embroidered jewelry box from behind that he had prepared early in the
morning and place it in front of her.
âUncle Tony, this isâ¦â
âOpen it and take a look.â
Bella frowned in confusion and opened the box.
She instantly covered her mouth in surprise and stared at the clear jade bracelet in the box.
Although there were still slight differences, it was very similar to the one Nigel gave her!
âMy master left this to me. It was one of his works that he was most proud of during his lifetime. He
originally wanted to give this jade bracelet to his beloved, but he failed to do so.â Tony sighed with
regret.
âMaster Jayden has a wife? Isnât he an old bachelor?â Axel asked curiously while chewing some meat.
Tony glanced at him. âTsk! Everyone has a crush, okay?â
âOh, I thought Master Jayden only liked stones and not women.â
Drew joked and took a sip of wine. âThen why didnât he give it to his crush? Was he scared?â
âMaster Jayden and his crush were studying at the same school. At that time, Master Jayden liked to
tease her, but after twenty years of being friends, Master Jayden fell in love without knowing it. Later,
when his crush got married, he wanted to give her this bracelet as a gift. But on her wedding day, she
got into a serious car accident and was pronounced dead on site.â
The Thompson siblings were shocked by this information and were crestfallen.
âSince then, Master Jayden has sworn off love. He put all his feelings for his crush into jade carving
and slowly healed his broken heart over the years.â
âHis love for her will last forever. Master Jayden is the most affectionate man in this world.â Bella could
not help but sigh. Her eyes were twinkling with envy.
âBut all these tragedies stem from Master Jayden not confessing his love, isnât it? Thatâs his faultâ¦â
Asher, Axel, and Bella glared daggers at Drew. The man pursed his lips and drank in embarrassment.
Bella felt a bitterness in her heart.
Someone as unfeeling as Master Jayden could fall in love without even realizing it. Bella had been
married to Justin for three years, but did that man ever feel even a sliver of affection for her?
Did Justin ever have the slightest regret when he divorced her?
No way.
If so, how could he hurt her with such insulting words over and over again? If so, how could he
indiscriminately side with those insidious women and question her character?
After the divorce, Bella was no longer Justinâs wife, so he did not even bother to show any superficial
respect for her.
Bella sneered in her heart, picked up the wine glass, and gulped it down. The burning sensation in her
throat made her sober.
Comparing that bastard Justin to Master Jayden was such an insult to the late master that he would
roll around in his coffin.
âMs. Bella, please take this bracelet. I compared it and found that this one is most similar to the one
you broke.â Tony looked at her seriously.
âNo, no, no⦠I canât⦠This is Master Jaydenâs relic. Itâs too valuable. I canât take it!â Bella panicked
and hurriedly pushed the box back.
âMy masterâs last words before he died were to keep everything untouched. However, Wyattâs children
can take whatever they want when they grow up. They can come and play or take anything they wish
to.â
Bellaâs nose was sore, and her eyes were teary. âUncle Tony,
Iâ¦â
âI have seen how much you have worked to restore that bracelet. That must be a very important friend
to you. Youâre a good girl who values friendships, so your Grandpa Jayden will definitely be very
pleased to know this. Take it.â Tony smiled lovingly and forced the box into her hands.
That night, the Thompson siblings left the Meteor Atelier and said goodbye to Tony.
The Rolls-Royce drove back to Savrow.
Bella leaned on Asherâs shoulder. Her eyes were half-closed as she held the jewelry box firmly in her
arms.
âBella, I have something to tell you. Justin contacted me the night you returned to Hatchbay.â Asher
hesitated slightly. His voice was low and hoarse.
âOh.â Bellaâs heart twitched, but she reminded herself to keep calm.
