Let Me Go, Mr. Hill!

Ryan almost lost control.

He could only turn his face away. “Get in the car. Let’s go home.”

On the way home, Freya opened the box. There was a starry moon necklace inside, and tiny diamonds were embedded on a small moon. It was dazzling.

“It’s so pretty,” Freya praised, and her eyes lit up. “ But… It must be expensive.”

“It’s not expensive. Just a few thousand dollars. There aren’t a lot of diamonds on it.” Ryan did not want her to feel burdened.

A few thousand dollars was indeed not expensive to a family like theirs.

“Didn’t you give me a scarf last time?” Ryan said nonchalantly with a smile.

“That scarf was only more than a hundred dollars…”

“If you feel embarrassed, I don’t mind you giving me another small gift.” Ryan stopped being polite. “ However, there’s no need to return the gift. You don’t have to get me a present of the same value as what I’ve given you. That’ll be meaningless.”
