My Ex-Husband Wants Me Again

Connor nodded and scratched his head.

"It's my first time giving a girl a birthday present, so I do not have much experience. I asked my aunt, and she said I would not go wrong with gifting clothes, bags, or jewelry. I rarely see you wearing accessories on your neck, so I made you a necklace" Pearl looked down, and her sharp eyes spotted the wound on his finger. Even without a band-aid, she could see where the skin was broken, and there had been a lot of blood.

She was a gemstone carving master, so she knew best how such wounds came about.

Without any complaints, Consor put his hands behind his back. "It's my first time doing it, so I am still quite clumsy. Til be fine in the future."

Pearl looked at Connor with her bright eyes, not knowing what to say

Frankly, the possessed a lot of jewelry.

It would probably take her years to finish going through all the jewelry her mother left her. Not to mention the gifts from the major brands and her elders and brothers. The amount of jewelry she possessed was enough to fill shop.

Not that she did not want to wear them. But the jewelry was too heavy and weighed a ton on her neck. Hence, she would only showcase them when she needed to attend important events.

That was the first time she had received a necklace personally made by a boy.

One could tell easily how tedious it was for a guy with thick, clumsy hands to hand-craft such a dainty thing

The more Connor played it down, the heavier the necklace on Pearl's palm felt.

There was a weird feeling stirring in her heart..

Just as a ridiculous thought flashed across Pearl's mind, Darren dusted his hands and smacked Connor on the back of his head. When I celebrated my birthday, he got me a chef's knife as my birthday present. Furthermore, it was custom-made." Connor pursed his lips and despised his master from the bottom of his heart. Why did he have to interrupt this moment?

However, what Darren said helped to dispel many of Pearls concerns.

"He is a dial child.

In a solemn tone, Pearl uid grimly, "I know you're sensible and want to make me happy. But you're a professional basketball player and a chef. 1 do not need to tell you how important your hands are. Why would you do something that will hurt yourself!" Connor's heart flustered when he saw Pearl's stern face. Not that he was afraid or impressed. He just did not want her to be unhappy

He was as anxious as a bee in a jar, but he did not want to rebuke her. As a result, his handsome face instantly flushed red.

His round and bright eyes glistened with tears as he stared at her.

No matter how hard-hearted one was no one could withstand such a gaze

Thus, Pearl's cold expression lasted only for five seconds before she acceded. She could not help but soften her tone. "Alright, I'll accept the gift this time. But this will be the one and only time. Please do not do this again" Since Pearl had relented, Connor broke into a mile immediately. He nodded his head and acknowledged, jubilantly. "Yes!"

"What a child" Pearl could not help but raise her hand to pat his head. However, she was not tall enough

Connor was slightly stunned. Following her cue, he bent down and lowered his head.

He looked like a giraffe, suddenly lowering his head.

Pearl bure out in laughter. She retracted her outretched hand and straightened Connor's body. "Alright, it's late. I have to hurry up and cook? Connor was unhappy that Pearl did not pat him on his head. But there would be lots of opportunities in the future.

Connor quickly comforted himmelf and followed after Pearl Pearl, let me help you!"

The

moment Pearl stepped into the kitchen, it was as though the kitchen was her oyster.

She stood in front of the stove, like a knight on the battlefield. Although she was holding a spatula is her hand, it was more like she was holding a

Darren and

As the ingredients had already been prepped, Pearl was able to cook the food quickly. The dishes were served our alter amaber and placed on table. As the Fragrance wafted out, her brothers arrived. Hubert was the first to arrive. He had gone to the airport to pick up Noah. As soon as the latter entered the door and took a sivitt, uneth in good!"

Hubert turned to Noah and said, "Noah, did I not say that Pearl will definitely cook today How is it? I was right, wasn't I?"This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Noah and Hubert were arguing nonstop on the way from the airport, and Noah was about to retort when he saw Pearl walking elegantly it kitchen. A smile immediately appeared on his handsome face, and he threw his arms open. "Come here, you little one. Give your brother a lung

Pearl smiled and went forward to hug him. "Noah, you're a little late."

"It has been ages since I returned to Nansion. What took you so long to come back?" Pearl chided

"Didn't I send my partner over first?"

Noah smiled warmly. He and Huben looked quite identical. They both had lily, round eyes, thick eyelinows, a straight nose, thin lips, white teeth. and a strong chin. With broad shoulders, a slim waist, and a perky but, they were not lad-looking at all. Nonetheless, both of them had completely different temperaments. Hubert had the bad-boy look, and Noah was more gentle and refined

However, although Noah was mild and appeasing to Pearl, he behaved differently when he was with his partner.

Noah joked and explained to Pearl T took on a few major surgeries last month and had to make trips out of the country quite frequently. I had no time on my hands. Otherwise, I would have come to see you earlier"

"I know the hospital is busy. The world needs doctors like you, who treat everyone equally and without prejudice. You are a savior to the people."

Of course, Pearl was not angry with Noah. No one knew better than her the responsibilities and hardships of a doctor. She looked behind Noth and asked, "Why are you the only one here? Where is Charlie! Noah pursed his lips. That lawyer is even busier than me. He's as busy as an ant every day."

Pearl and Hubert could sense Noah's disgruntlement toward his Charlie. They felt that he was behaving like a displeased wife. The two of them had a tacit understanding and laughed.

"This too bad he is not in for a treat. But, look at the gift we got

for you.

An excited Noah handed a brown paper file to Pearl with a proud expression. "We spent half a day researching and racking our brains, thinking of what to get you. And we finally decided on thic

He looked like an elementary student waiting for compliments.

Pearl stared at the brown paper file. She had no idea what could be inside. Photos, contracts, or postcards?

Hubert was secretly helping himself to the food when he heard what Noah said and peered over curiously.

Pearl uncoiled the strings around the fille and emptied the contents. It was not a photo, a contract, or a postcard. It was an insurance policy.

Hubert was speechless.

And Pearl was confounded.

Noah was will feeling smug "I can't think of anything you might need. Coincidentally, the hospital has recently launched new medical insurance, so I bought you one. How is it? Isn't it practical and innovative?" Noah was waiting for compliments to be heaped on him immediately.

However, Pearl and Hubert were dumbfounded,

They did not know what to say.

"It's pretty good! Pearl quietly pat away the insurance policy. She had already thought of her birthday wishes for that year.

And one of her wishes was never to have to activate the insurance policy Noah bought for her
