Love Together, Be With You Never novel Chapter 44

I was shocked and looked straight at Kieran. I couldn't believe he actually showed up!

"Mr. Charles, welcome. You should have informed us so that we could have picked you up. I feel bad having you come all this way by yourself!" Marvin was like a totally different person. He grinned in a fawning way like a dog standing a few meters away from Kieran.

Shania stopped smirking and put on another kind of smile to welcome Kieran.

Alicia's sweet smile froze. She clenched her hands under the table, and anger flashed through her eyes. However, she did not say anything but leaned on Marlon demurely.

Marlon watched Kieran sit down beside me, and his eyes were clouded with displeasure, but he remained silent.

Everyone got himself seated. It felt strange in the huge hall, silent. I gazed at Kieran from the corner of my eye and felt overwhelming warmth.

"Still angry?" Kieran moved his face closer to mine, his scarlet eyes glittering. "Don't be mad at me. This is for you!" As he spoke, he presented a luxurious ivory-colored box to me.

I glanced at him, and he smiled at me. I was dumbfounded, not because of the gift, but because at this moment, I could only see his evil but heartwarming smile.

Kieran opened the box. A gorgeous diamond necklace was lying inside it.

"Destiny!" Shania stood up in shock and gaped at the necklace in the box. "This, this costs more than six million!"

I retracted my hand and looked at Kieran in disbelief. Kieran smiled and put it on me. "Stop being angry!"

"You, you just gave it to her!" Shania stuttered in shock.

Marvin pulled Shania down and shot her a reproachful glance. Shania regained her composure and fell silent. Marvin repeatedly praised, "Mr. Charles has an excellent taste. Excellent indeed. My Rachael looks fantastic wearing it!"

Alicia clenched her fists, and her fingernails cut into her flesh. However, she smiled, "Mr. Charles, my sister is quite innocent. Don't fool her with jewelry. I won't allow it!"

Kieran looked up at Alicia. Alicia wanted to look away from his scarlet eyes, but reason told her not to. Kieran raised his hand and caressed my hair casually. "Don't worry, Miss Alicia. I never play with women. Such a gesture suggests ... I am serious!"

I quickly looked up at Kieran. And he turned around with a smile.

Marlon's eyes were like dark abysses. He said word by word, "Mr. Charles, don't say things you don't mean. Just admit it. You are merely playing the field."

"Please excuse me!" I had enough of that crap, so I stood up and went to the bathroom. However, no sooner had I entered it than Alicia walked in.

"Rachael, my sister, you are so cheap. One tiny trinket from Mr. Charles, and you are over the moon!" Alicia looked at me with contempt.

I washed my hands and leaned on the edge of the sink. "I'm happy. What's wrong with that? This necklace is worth over six million!"

Alicia looked morose. She dropped the act and said, "You shameless, ugly and flat bitch. I don't know what kind of witchcraft you used to put Kieran under your spell for the time being, but I am curious if Kieran still wants you when he sees how disgusting and base you are!"

I had a premonition. Then Alicia tore her clothes, slapped herself, and pulled her hair, running out crying.

I leaned against the washstand and listened to the noise outside. I sighed fiercely. Actually, I was hungry. Why couldn't I finish my meal?

I slowly walked out. Alicia was in Marlon's arms, and Shania was anxiously patting her back. Alicia yowled and complained to Kieran, "Mr. Charles, I wanted to take a closer look at the necklace you gave my sister. However, not only did she not allow it, but she even beat me fiercely and insulted me, saying I didn't deserve to look at it. Mr. Charles, I, I think she is in a bad mood. Please, help her cheer up!"

Shania also cried, "Rachael, it's okay if you don't want others to touch the necklace, but you didn't have to hit your sister. Look at how miserable she is!"

Marvin cast me an angry glance. Nevertheless, he held his tongue and suppressed his rage because Kieran was present.

"She has touched this one. It's dirty. I'll buy you a new one tomorrow!" Kieran said. In an instant, the noisy hall fell silent. Marvin, Shania, and Alicia all looked at Kieran with astonished gaze. They would not have guessed in a million years that Kieran would say such words.

"Let's go home!" Kieran waved at me.

Under the sparkling crystal chandelier, I only saw Kieran. I broke into smiling. "Alright, let's go!" Then I left with him.

Marlon clenched his hidden hand, whose veins were twitching violently. Deep in his inky eyes lay a murderous chill.

"Mr. Charles, thank you!" I followed Kieran to his car and sincerely thanked him.

No one had ever stood up for me when I was being bullied. There had only been criticism and disgust towards me.

But just now, Kieran was on my side and saved me from those things.

"I believe this is yours!" I took off my necklace and handed it back to Kieran. Kieran glanced at it, took a paper bag, and put it in with a disgusted look. Then the bag was thrown into a corner in the car.

I felt like laughing and didn't restrain myself.

"What are you laughing at?"

I smiled and looked up at him. "I was thinking that, Mr. Charles, you gave it to me in front of everyone, and what if I hadn't returned it to you?"

"You would pay for it with your salary!" Kieran said indifferently.

I was taken aback.

Although I was overjoyed at my first victory in the Cornell's tonight, I was sensible enough to know I couldn't take what was not mine. The necklace didn't belong to me, so I wouldn't keep it. In fact, if Kieran hadn't wanted it back, I would have felt weird!

Kieran never wasted his money!

"Mr. Charles, thank you for finishing the show with me tonight. I appreciate it!" I watched as Kieran got into the car and expressed my gratitude again.

"I said don't thank me too early!" With that, he drove away.

I didn't give his words much thought and went home happily. Just as I was about to go to bed after a shower, there was a knock on the front door.

The first person that came to my mind was Kieran!

"Mr. Charles!" I quickly went to open the door, only to see Marlon standing outside it with a gloomy expression.
