Chapter 76

• Lavender's POV
• I judged too quickly. Alpha Toot was not fed up with the pretense. The previous day, he had just taken a break, and now I was seated on my bed while five maids stood in front of me with an open jewelry box. Apparently, I am to pick one of them. I do not care about the jewelry, and I do not want jewelry. If I pick one definitely, I would no longer have a free neck because I would have to put it on constantly.
• I was already dealing with heavy gowns, so I will not be forced to put on jewelry too every day. The maids stood there diligently as she waited for me to pick one of them. The jewelry was beautiful, and if it were under different circumstances, I would have quickly picked it, but right now I was not in the mood for that. Alpha Toot, on the other hand, had a strange smile on his face. It was unusual from the one I was used to. It had much more mystery. “Pick dear,” he said, and I wanted to laugh.
