Chapter 37 Souvenir

“I’ve bought you a souvenir, Cath. Since you didn’t tell me what you want, I made the decision and

bought this for you.” As soon as they sat down and the waiter served tea, Jasmine pulled out an

exquisite box from her bag and handed it over to Catherine.

Seeing the box, she could tell that the gift was something valuable and exquisite.

“This box looks so beautiful. I’m sure the gift must be something amazing. Thank you, Jas.”

The whole time, Catherine tried her best to hide all the complicated emotions she had and tried her

best to talk to her friend like she always did.

“Of course, would you ever doubt my taste? Even

the exterior of this box is carved by hand. Look at how realistic the carvings look.” As Jasmine proudly

introduced the box, Catherine carefully opened it. In it, there was a velvet cloth wrapping two bracelets,

one big and the other small. At one glance, it was obvious that it was a pair of bracelets for a couple.

Since Azera was rich in silver, the two bracelets were made in pure silver.

However, what made this gift special wasn’t its material but the moving love story behind it and the fact

that it was unique in the world

“Look at the back of the bracelets. There’s a Y carved on the back of one of them and an R on the

other, and they each represent a man and a woman. According to the history, the prince of Azera was

once saved by a female commoner when he was in danger. In the end, both of them fell deeply in love

with each other.”

“Since the woman’s father was a silverware craftsman and she learned some relevant skills from him

as well, she taught the prince some carving skills. Eventually, the prince used the necklace that his

parents had given to him and that signified love and turned it into two bracelets instead. Then, he

carved each of their names on each bracelet, the Y and the R.”

“Later, the king and the queen found the prince, and the prince insisted on bringing the woman back to

the palace. However, he ended up running into her kissing another man when he went to look for her at

the place where they had dated before.”

“It turns out, the queen secretly found the woman in advance and told her that the prince wouldn’t

succeed the throne if he didn’t marry the princess of the neighboring country. The queen even told the

woman that the prince would end up being assassinated by his brother if he failed to take power. So,

the woman pretended to betray her

lover to save him. Once the prince left her, the woman left her hometown and went to the city because

she wanted to be live near the prince.”

“For the sake of her livelihood and also to get rid of the misery of being lovesick, she began crafting

silver bracelets. All of the bracelets she made were handcrafted and they all looked slightly different.

But the only thing that was similar was that they all had Y and R carved on the back of each bracelet.

After returning to the palace, the prince didn’t marry the princess of the neighboring kingdom and beat

his brother with his own abilities. In the end, he succeeded to the throne that rightfully belonged to him.”

“However, he never forgot the woman. Later on, his mother told him the truth and sent people to her

hometown to look for her but they couldn’t find

her.”

“Until one day, the king sawa familiar bracelet on

the wrist of a noble. When taking a closer look at the letter carved on the back, he knew the bracelet

was made by that woman and then he find her in the end.”

“From then on, both of them lived happily ever after” Turning the bracelet around to show the letter to

Catherine, Jasmine told her the entire story.

“Each pair of these bracelets have different designs and they are completely unique, Cath. When you

find someone you love, give him this bracelet with Y because it has been blessed by the God of love.

With these bracelets on, your love would be eternal,” Jasmine explained to Catherine as her hand

instinctively touched her own silver bracelet.

It was only then that Catherine noticed Jasmine also wore a bracelet as well.

“Did you put it on him too?” Catherine asked.

“Of course,” Jasmine replied and smiled sweetly. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

However, why didn’t Catherine see that matching bracelet on Ryan’s wrist when they met and had sex

several times before?

Clearly, Ryan and Jasmine seemed so deeply in love with each other, there was no reason for him not

to wear the token of their love for each other. Did he take it off before he came to see her? That was

impossible! Subconsciously, Catherine

clutched tightly to the bracelets, lost in thought.

“Why don’t you put down the bracelet first, Cath. I still have something important to tell you.” At that

moment, Jasmine’s reminder brought Catherine back to her senses.

Meanwhile, she knew that Jasmine would be angry if she didn’t accept the gift, so she put the

bracelets back to the box and carefully put it into her bag.

Actually, it was already impossible for her to give this to anyone. Besides, there was no one to give, so

all she could do was treat it as a token of their friendship.
