Chapter 480 She Doesn’t Love You At All

• Diane was so shocked that she felt like her soul had left her body as Christopher dragged her up onto the stage. At that moment, she could feel tons of envious, jealous, or even hateful gazes coming from the crowd. Christopher led her all the way to the display stand, and she dazedly held her hand out to take the bracelet from the emcee. Christopher lowered his head as he helped her to put her bracelet on. After fastening it on her wrist, he continued to hold her hand. "Don't worry about the money. It doesn't matter how much this is worth—what matters the most is that you like it."
• The diamond bracelet felt cold against her skin, but his eyes seemed to carry the warmth of the sun. He said these words because he meant it, but it was also for the rest of the crowd to hear. He wanted to show that he wasn't an idiot, nor was he just mindlessly picking a fight with Wilcox. He was doing this because Diane liked it and because he wanted to buy it for her. It was that simple. All the women shot looks of envy in Diane's direction, while Diane felt like she was in a daydream because of the man's romantic gesture.
• "Why are you zoning out?" Christopher reached his hand out to touch her cheek in front of the crowd and gave her a loving smile. "I… Thank you." Diane didn't know what else to say, so all she could do was thank him. Christopher brushed his thumb against her face as he responded in a gentle tone. "Silly girl." He pulled his hand away after that. "Let's go." He led her down the stage and back to their seat, and he didn't let go of her hand even after they sat down. He smiled at Wilcox while still holding her hand in his.
