A Sparkling Piece Of Jewelry
“Are you serious?” Joyce widened her eyes at Justin in shock. “How are you still single? You’re in your
early thirties already! Your mother must be getting anxious about it, huh?”
“She is. That’s why I’ve returned to J City to get myself a wife. Would you help me, Joyce?” inquired
Justin as he gave the woman a strange smile.
However, Joyce did not get the hint at all. “No problem, Justin! I’m going to introduce you to so many
gorgeous women that you’ll be spoilt for choice!”
“Okay.” Justin nodded before quickly changing the subject. “You should open your present now and see
if you like what I got you.”
“Right!” With that, Joyce swiftly tore the wrapping off and opened the gift box. Inside was a very
luxurious-looking diamond bracelet that sparkled like a star under the light and was obviously crafted by
exceptionally talented craftsmen.
When Justin saw how Joyce’s eyes sparkled like the diamonds themselves, he immediately knew that
she was pleased with his gift.
“Put it on and see how it suits you,” suggested Justin.
Joyce nodded fervently in response. “Thank you, Justin. I love it!”
Then, the woman took the bracelet out of the box and tried to put it on herself.
However, it was not easy for her to do so since she only had one free hand. Justin extended his hand to
ask for the bracelet, intending to help the woman out. “Let me do it.”
“Sure,” Joyce gladly agreed.
Finally done making tea, Caitlin stepped out of the kitchen and saw how well the two youngsters had
gotten along. Convinced that the two would make a great couple, she could not help smiling contentedly
to herself. Justin would be a much better match for Joyce than Stanley.
Caitlin let out a sigh when she thought of Stanley.
Not only is that man too extreme, but he’s also too emotionally unstable. Being with him won’t bring
Joyce happiness, only sadness.
However, Joyce only had eyes for Stanley, even though the man had repeatedly hurt her. Despite her
parents’ efforts, Joyce refused to let go of him.
Just when Caitlin thought Joyce was hopelessly lost, their old neighbor reached out to her and confessed
that he had feelings for her daughter. That was why he intentionally returned to J City.
Caitlin immediately saw a glimmer of hope when Justin requested to pay Joyce a visit. Maybe this is
what Joyce needs—another man in her life. People always say, “The best way to get over someone is to
let another one into your life.”
Because of that thought, Caitlin did not hesitate when Justin asked for her address. Someone as tall and
handsome as Justin is definitely worth considering. On top of that, he’s much gentler than Stanley. But
most important of all, Joyce likes him too.
As Joyce’s mother, Caitlin hoped that the young woman would let go of someone who brought nothing
but pain like Stanley. She wished to see her daughter loved and protected by someone worthy.
More than anything else, Caitlin wanted Joyce to be with someone loving and caring instead of Stanley. I
pray that Justin is the one who can make Joyce forget all about Stanley.
Caitlin then sighed once again and shook her head before plastering a smile on. “What are you two
doing?”
“I gave Joyce a bracelet, and I was just helping her put it on,” explained Justin after turning around to
smile at Caitlin.
“What do you think, Mom?” Joyce extended her wrist and showed her mother the sparkling piece of
jewelry.
In response, Caitlin nodded in recognition. “It’s beautiful, but it must’ve cost a fortune! You shouldn’t have
done that, Justin.”
“It’s nothing.” Justin quickly waved his hand. “Come on, Mom. It’s not like I’m incapable of returning the
favor,” uttered Joyce with a pout.
“You don’t have to do that, Joyce. I-” Justin tried to stop the woman from promising him anything, but he
did not get to finish his sentence before she interrupted him.
“Yes, I do. It’s either that or you can take this bracelet back,” demanded Joyce while threatening to
remove the piece of jewelry.
Hence, Justin had no choice but to comply. “Fine. Let’s do it your way.”
