Everything was perfect.
Why, of all times, is this silk anklet the problem now?
Olivia looked down at her palm with a puzzled expression.
They shared the joy of welcoming familiar faces, finished a delicious dinner at the Bikaneder Mansion, and Olivia thought it was the perfect time to give a gift just before going to bed.
Certainly, she had prepared the gift in a pretty velvet box.
After Hana, who left with a smile as if saying, “Just leave it to me,” at Edwin’s request, Olivia, feeling a bit anxious, decided to open the box just in case. To her disappointment, she let out a sigh.
The seam of the silk anklet in her hand was carelessly broken.
Knock, knock. Olivia answered abruptly when she heard the knocking sound. Then she realized who was entering.
“Do you have a gift for me?”
It was only Edwin.
Olivia instinctively hid her hand behind her back at the sight of Edwin’s excited face.
With a hint of hiding something visible, the corners of Edwin’s eyes loosened. His sparkling red pupils lingered on Olivia for a moment.
A hand hidden behind her back, a troubled expression.
It seemed like a minor issue, but Edwin, pretending not to notice, wore an expectant expression. Since he already knew what the gift was.
“Oh, well…”
It was a mistake. She should have just said it was an invitation. Olivia blurted out unintentionally.
“I did have a gift, but…”
“Had a gift…?”
“It’s gone. Haha.”
Olivia laughed alone above the quiet room. Edwin’s eyes widened for a moment, then he drooped his head as if disappointed.
Feeling sorry for him, Olivia stealthily extended the hand she had hidden.
“In fact, I did have a gift. But there was a little problem.”
A persistent gaze examined her. Olivia cautiously opened her clenched palm and, with a mixture of worry and anticipation, watched Edwin’s reaction.
“Oh, what is it?”
“It’s a very pretty silk anklet.”
It was a tender voice, like melting spring snow. As tension released, Edwin, aligning his gaze, asked,
“Is it the same as Olivia’s?”
“It’s the same except for the color. Everything else is the same.”
It was a black and red silk anklet intentionally made for Edwin.
“You made it very beautifully.”
“Well, I’ve heard compliments about my hand skills before.”
Olivia felt a bit proud amid the continued admiration and compliments. As the eyes that were watching her became thin, Olivia expressed her regret.
“It needs a little repair. I’ll fix it right away and give it to you again as soon as I return to Bikaneder.”
“…What if I don’t want it?”
The slow, falling voice was quite seductive. While Olivia was taken aback by the slightly approaching voice, her palm was suddenly empty.
Edwin, who took the silk anklet, examined the object on her hand as if he were pleased.
“Thank you, Olivia. I’ll cherish it. With this, the two things we matched are now doubled.”
Edwin smiled naturally, raising his left hand. The sparkling red gemstone ring passed in front of Olivia’s eyes, and soon Edwin sat on the sofa, leaning forward.
As Olivia hurriedly spoke, seeing Edwin about to put the damaged anklet on his ankle, “You can’t wear it now? Give it to me.”
“Bikaneder doesn’t take back what it once gave. Absolutely not. Olivia.”
Edwin smiled affectionately, stood up, and raised his hand. Despite the considerable height difference, it was futile for Olivia to reach.
Watching Olivia eagerly looking at the silk anklet, she pursed her lips.
“…Anyway, I can’t wear it now, Edwin. The seam is damaged.”
“This pretty green seam is damaged.”
A pretty green one.
While his fingers touched the seam, Edwin’s gaze met Olivia’s eyes.
The slow-moving fingers created a strange atmosphere. Olivia’s cheeks gradually warmed.
As if enjoying that reaction, Edwin raised an elegant corner of his mouth and asked, “So, if we just replace the seam, can it be worn right away?”
“Well, yes.”
Olivia barely finished her answer.
As Olivia’s answer fell, Edwin pulled the bell near the bed. Soon, with a knock, Sowel entered the room.
“Sowel.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“Find a seam like this right now. Right away.”
Right away? Olivia’s eyes widened. However, Sowel responded with a face that indicated it was not a big problem.
“Yes.”
If I had known this would happen, I should have prepared a spare seam.
A basket brought by the clock maidens was neatly placed on the table. Edwin looked at the seams in the basket with a serious expression. The maidens continued to take out the seams with faces holding back laughter.
“As you mentioned, we have taken out all the green seams used for our maidens’ clothes.”
Naturally, there were no seams suitable for a silk anklet. It was absurd to expect a seam for repairing accessories or jewelry, especially a silk anklet, in Edwin’s mansion where only the jewels provided by Viscount Stone were used.
“I’ll go out now and buy it.”
“At this hour?”
Olivia looked outside and asked. It was a time when all the shops were closed, but Sowel nodded without hesitation.
“If I place an order now, I can buy and return within an hour and a half at the latest.”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
