Chapter 882 Find a Way to Impress Her

“I don’t have to do this; we are all friends,” Neera chuckled.

Avery was grinning, and he knew what she meant. Neera was reminding him with these words that she did not agree with the marriage contract.

“Friends? That’s right, so I obviously have to give a birthday gift as a friend,” he said slowly and gently.

He took the velvet box he’d prepared from his pocket. Neera noticed it and immediately recognized it as the jewelry he had previously spent a lot of money on at an auction. He seemed to have stated that the jewelry. was for someone he liked, as she recalled.

Neera paused for a moment before she could refuse with a smile.

“Thank you for your gift, Mr. Cox. I am very appreciative of the present, but it is too pricey for me to accept,” said Neera.

Avery expected her to say no, but he never got his hands back.

“Don’t misunderstand me; I mean nothing else. Simply put, I believe jewelry should only be presented to those who can appreciate it. Otherwise, keeping it would be useless. After all, you and I are friends. No matter how priceless a present may be, it cannot compare to the connection we share. This present is nothing compared to our friendship.”

Neera was forced to accept after hearing these remarks because to do differently would be too purposeful. But just accepting the gift made her feel uneasy.

Unexpectedly, a voice emerged from behind her as she was hesitating.

“Neera, just take it.”

After a brief moment of surprise, Neera noticed that Jean had moved to her side before she could turn around. When Avery heard the sound, he turned around. The two men squared off against each other.
