Chapter 1239: The Peace She Gave Him
Nicole took her things and left the room, the pain on her back and waist was almost unbearable.As she walked out, she bumped into Jose Floyd coming out of his room, also freshly showered and changed, looking like he was about to go out.
He didn’t even twitch his gaze as he saw her, just lifted his leg to descend the stairs.
Nicole pressed her lips together and softly called after his indifferent back: "Wait a minute... Jose..."
It was the first time she had called his name since she moved into this small villa, and she was actively speaking to him.
Jose stopped but didn’t turn back, his indifference remaining intact.
Nicole walked closer, her fingers on both sides slightly tensing from nervousness. She approached Jose, trying to maintain a calm and indifferent expression and tone, saying blandly, "Yesterday you gave me earrings, I didn’t thank you... Today, I went to the temple on that mountain in South City to pick... pick a Small Purple Leaf Sandalwood bracelet for you. They say it’s very efficacious here, for protection..."
As she spoke, Nicole extended her hand out, showing the bracelet in her palm to Jose.
Jose’s gaze fell on the bracelet, his eyes moved slightly, but eventually, his lips curled into a faint, cold smile, "Peace—you wish me peace... Nicole, you must have forgotten, the first person who wanted my life was you! And now you say you went to get me a bracelet for peace today, what an irony!"
Nicole’s face paled slightly, and the bracelet in her palm seemed like a flame, burning her palm, the pain sweeping to her left heart chamber.
Nicole curled her lips slightly, her face and tone even more indifferent as she looked at Jose: "Yes, the first person who wanted your life in this world was me. So... if you don’t want this bracelet, just throw it in the trash. I have no other intention; I just wanted to repay you for the earrings and saving my nephew. I’ve paid back the sentiment, if you don’t want it, throw it away, it’s up to you."
After speaking, Nicole pulled Jose’s hand over, placed the Small Purple Leaf Sandalwood bracelet in his palm, and walked down the stairs without hesitation, not looking at Jose again. Her arm seemed to support her waist, as if she was in pain.
Nicole’s figure disappeared at the stairway entrance, Jose gripped the bracelet in his palm and coldly began to walk down the stairs.
When he went downstairs, Nicole’s presence was already gone from the house.
Jose sat on the sofa, his face steady, holding the bracelet and lost in thought.
A servant happened to come by to wipe the coffee table, and inadvertently saw the bracelet in his hand, softly laughing: "No wonder Miss Seys went out so early, turns out she went to the temple on the mountain in South City to get a bracelet."
"You know about this bracelet?" Jose lifted his gaze to ask the servant coldly.
"Of course," the servant smiled slightly, "This bracelet here is famously hard to get, only available at the temple on the mountain in South City. On top of that, this small bracelet costs a few thousand bucks, and they only give ten a day to the pilgrims; if you don’t line up early in the morning, you can’t buy it even with money. It’s believed that sincerity makes it effective. You have to hold the bracelet, kneel in front of the temple’s Buddha statue, and chant all day, eat vegetarian meals for a day before the master at the temple blesses the bracelet. This bracelet is very effective. Miss Seys gave it to Young Master Floyd, it’s perfectly suitable, probably in Miss Seys’s heart, she hopes the bracelet can bless Young Master Floyd with a lifetime of peace. It’s a wish every wife has for her husband."
Jose’s mind drifted back to the scene of Nicole giving him the bracelet and then leaving...
