Chapter 70 – Show up in purpose
“Calm down Lily, let’s think of a way to remedy it. This jade bracelet is quite important to me. Do you know any talented master to restore it?”
“Let me look for a master.” Lily took out her mobile phone. After a while, she found several relatively famous masters in the City. In the end, Nicole chose a master who was relatively close to the school and had a good reputation.
The two of them took a taxi and gradually approached the antique market according to the instructions on their mobile phones.
They finally found a small and inconspicuous store. When the man saw them coming in, he pulled down his glasses and stared at them. “Who are you looking for?”
“Is Master Yang here?” Nicole quickly figured out their coming purpose. “I have a broken jade bracelet, so I want Master Yang to help me repair it. Is that okay?”
“No.” The shop-boy refused bluntly.
“Why?” Lily frowned and went forward to ask, “You didn’t even ask. How do you know Master Yang can’t?”
“Because Master Yang went on a long trip and won’t come back for the next half a year,” the shop boy answered faintly.
Nicole was very disappointed. She stood there with a handkerchief in her hand. The shop boy looked at her and said, “Bring it up and let me have a look.”
“Thank you, master.” The shop boy was young, but with a mature face. When he first saw the jade bracelet of Nicole, he was amazed. Then he felt pity and returned it to Nicole. “It’s a pity that this good jade bracelet is broken. Although my master is not here, I can tell you that even my master can’t repair it well. There must be some traces. You’d better take it back.”
“Is there really no way?”
“Do you think that the broken mirror can still be the same as it used to be?” The same logic applied to the broken bracelet. It could not return to its original appearance.
“Thank you.”
When Nicole left the store, she was very disappointed, and Lily’s mood was also very bad.
“I’m sorry, Nicole, I really didn’t mean it. You have to forgive me.”
“I know, I don’t blame you.” The problem was what to do.
Nicole sighed and said to her, “Let’s go back first.”NôvelDrama.Org content.
“Okay.”
This matter couldn’t be concealed, but how to tell Kevin? Nicole bit her lips. As soon as she thought about it, trouble came.
In the taxi, she received a text message from Kevin, saying, “Wait at the school gate at five o’clock.”
Nicole’s eyebrows jumped. “What are you doing?”
He did not reply. What he said was like an imperial edict.
Nicole bit her lips. Because of the delay of the journey, it was past four o’clock when she returned to school. She took a bath and changed her clothes, and it was already past five o’clock.
When she came out of the bathroom, she heard Kath shouting, “Dear sisters, come out and see. It’s Lamborghini stopped downstairs. I don’t know who it came to pick up. It is too luxurious, isn’t it?”
Nicole’s heart skipped a beat. She rushed to check her phone and found that there were already two missed calls on it. She took a deep breath and a text message came in, “I’ll get off the car in three minutes.”
Go to hell!
Nicole replied in a hurry, “I’m taking a bath. I’ll come down soon. By the way, you’d better leave quickly. I’ll go to the school gate by myself. Hurry up, leave quickly!”
The corridor of the dormitory was full of surrounded girls, who were talking about it. Nicole couldn’t wait to knock her head down.
Kath cried out with great regret, “Hey, don’t go. You haven’t got anyone yet. Are you leaving just like that? Do you want to show off on purpose?”
Nicole changed her shoes as fast as she could and then said to the crowd, “I’m going out. I’ll go first.”
She ran to the school gate, panting heavily. The car had been waiting for a long time.
Covering her face, she looked around and then got in the car. Kevin sat in the back seat in the most elegant way, and there was a faint mint smell on his body. It was very refreshing and smelled good, as if it was exclusive to him. There was also a faint shampoo smell on his body.
It was very refreshing and smelled good, as if it was exclusive to him. There was also a faint shampoo smell on his body as if he just took a bath. It smelled good when the two smells combined.
Nicole blushed slightly and fixed her messy hair. Then she looked up at him and said, “Why are you so anxious to find me? What’s the matter?”
“Eat.”
Kevin would bring her back to the Philip family for dinner.
As soon as Nicole thought of her empty wrist, she felt timid and afraid.
Kevin stared at her face and said, “Why are you guilty?”
Nicole held her wrist tightly. “I’m not guilty. I’m nervous, okay?”
“Then you don’t have to be nervous. My grandmother won’t eat you.”
“What about your grandfather?”
When Nicole knew that Kevin’s grandfather had not returned, and that there was only Mrs. Philip at home, Nicole was slightly relieved.
There were only two people, Mrs. Philip and the servant, in such a big house. When they saw Kevin and Nicole, Mrs. Philip was so happy that she smiled all the time.
Mrs. Philip had already prepared a table full of sumptuous dishes. She picked up food for Nicole as soon as she sat down.
“Come, Nicole, eat more. You are too thin.”
“Thank you, grandma. You eat as well.” The dishes in Nicole’s rice bowl were piled up so high, and she hurriedly stopped Mr. Philip with a smile.
Mrs. Philip smiles all the time. The more she looked at Nicole, the more she liked her. She did not forget to tell Kevin, “You have to bring Nicole here every weekend to have dinner with me. I’m alone at home. I’m really lonely.”
“I know. Even if I don’t come, I will ask someone to send her here.” Kevin made a light promise, and then Nicole secretly glared at him.
He pretended not to see Nicole staring at him.
After the meal, Nicole helped to clean up the table and took off her coat to wash the dishes.
Mrs. Philip quickly stopped her and said, “Nicole, sit down. Just let Mrs. Fang, the servant, wash the dishes.”
“It doesn’t matter. Grandma, I often wash dishes. It doesn’t matter.” She picked up the wash cloth next to her. Mrs. Philip noticed her wrist.
“Hey, Nicole, where is your jade bracelet?”
Nicole felt nervous and hurriedly said, “That bracelet is too expensive. It’s not suitable for me to wear it at school, so I put it away. I’m afraid that it will break or be lost.”
Mrs. Philip understood and said, “I see. Then wear it next time. Only when you wear it all the time can it keep smooth and warm to the touch. You should always wear it.”
“Okay, Grandma.”
When they left the Philip family, Nicole’s heart was still pounding fast. She was not good at lying, and she was really sorry for Mrs. Philip who was very kind to her.
But the bracelet was broken and couldn’t return to its original appearance. So what should she do?
If Mrs. Philip knew that it was Nicole who broke the bracelet, she would definitely be sad. But what if it was Kevin who broke it?
Nicole quickly shook her head. This kind of thing could not be blamed on others, but would Kevin have a way to repair the bracelet? Even if he couldn’t repair it well, it would be much better with his help.
Although Nicole felt that this idea was very shameful, she thought that it might be a feasible way.
“What are you thinking about?” Kevin saw that Nicole’s eyes were rolling, so he felt that she had some bad ideas.
“It’s nothing, nothing.” Nicole pursed her smiling lips and sat up straight. “Are you going to send me back to school?”
“Don’t you want to go back?”
Nicole loosened her wrist, and her wrist almost fell from her knees.
“No, that’s not what I meant.”
“You want to go back with me, don’t you?”
Nicole’s face turned red. “You’re thinking too much!”
Kevin spread out his hands and looked at her calmly. At this time, his mobile phone rang.
But he was not moved. The phone rang again and again. Nicole couldn’t help reminding him, “The phone is ringing.”
Kevin was indifferent. No one answered the phone after the phone rang three times, so Paul’s phone began to ring.
Paul didn’t do whatever he wanted like Kevin, so he greeted. “Boss George.”
“Where’s Kevin?” Will George, Kevin’s father, scolded. “Did he deliberately refuse to answer my call?”
“It’s time to rest now. I’m not with Mr. George.” The implication was that Paul didn’t know where Kevin was.
Will knew that Paul was following Kevin’s orders and would not tell him where Kevin was even Paul knew, so Will reminded Paul, “Okay, it’s okay if you don’t tell me. Tell Kevin to go home for dinner tomorrow night.”
“Okay, I will tell Mr. George.” Paul replied politely, and then ended the call.
In fact, there was no need for Paul to tell Kevin. Kevin also heard it.
