President's Substitute Wife

One was purple and the other was water blue.

“What is this?” I could see at a glance that these two boxes must be ornaments.

As he took off his suit, he said, “the purple one is Jack’s gift to Daisy.”

“And the blue one?”

“I bought it for you.”

“Me?” I picked up the blue box with white ribbon outside.

When I hesitated to open it, he had changed his clothes and came over. He held my waist and put his chin on my shoulder. “Other women have gifts. Of course, you have to have gifts.”

“Thank you...”

My heart was warm.

“Don’t say thank you to me. I said I’ll love you this time.” He held the box in his hands. “Open it up and see if you like it.”

“OK.”

I opened the box and there was a necklace in it. There was a curved pendant like a smiling face.

I remembered a colleague wearing it before.

When I saw it, I thought of the necklace Sean had given me before.

Sean reached out and took out the necklace. The next second I felt my neck cool.

He put the necklace on me and said, “Eric recommended it to me. He said girls like it, so I guess you will, too.”

“I like it. Thank you.”

By this time he had put it on me.

I bowed my head and touched the necklace on my neck. There was an indescribable feeling in my heart.

In the evening, Sean and I had dinner and sat on the sofa together. He watched the financial news. I sat and sketched.

When Sean was here, I always sketched him.

I drew him from every angle every night.

There were many difficulties in this relationship. This time I really hoped we could be together forever.
