While I was lost in thought, fireworks suddenly burst across the sky, spelling out my name in vibrant colors.
Amidst the magical display, Henry took out a jade bracelet and held it out to me. “Amelia, this is the heirloom bracelet of my family. My parents told me to give it to the future mistress of the Johnson family. I’ve wanted to give it to you for a long time but waited until today for the right moment.”
“Amelia, will you be with me? Don’t forget, when you nearly drowned as a child, I risked my life to save you. I can even give you my life, let alone a small jade bracelet!” He puffed his chest proudly, and looked at me with anticipation.
In my past life, I had been deceived by their seemingly deep affection.
Back then, I naively believed that our bond as childhood friends would lead to a happy ending, that my grandmother and the Nicolas family would find some solace.
It wasn’t until the day I died that I learned the truth. Even the deepest devotion could be nothing more than an act.
Just as I was about to reject him, Sandy suddenly spoke up.
“Amelia, why did you tell people I was spreading rumors about you? Now everyone’s cursing me...”
She held up her phone, showing me the screen.
