Chapter 109 - The Earrings (1/2)

We went to buy the gifts for the newly weds. I always thought that women preferred clothes and jewellery as presents. It's the common knowledge for everyone I guess.

That's why we decided to visit the jewellery store. I was not in the mood to search for a gift. But Stella forced me to pick the gift for Luke since I'm his best friend.

Ugh! Kill me please!

Let's just go with the watches. He even likes to wear them. I'll buy the latest model. But then I remembered, Luke is a very fashionable guy and a dumbass. He usually buys the new models, then throws away the old ones after using them for few times.

Somewhere in my heart, I wanted to give him a present that he would use often. I wonder what's with the sudden change of my heart. I have never been so sceptical about buying gifts for people.

So the problem is he likes to buy luxurious things to spend his cash. It will be awkward if I buy the same watch he's using right now.

Guess I gotta cross that from the list.

A suitable gift for Luke. What can it be? I'm really confused. Up until now I been giving him random stuffs without even thinking about it.

But this is a wedding gift. I won't be giving him again unless he gets married for the second time.

” Honey.” I rest my head on my wife's shoulder—— my personal pillow after getting tired of such mental labour.

” You back already?” Woah! What's with the tone. She doesn't so sound happy to see me.

” I can't find something.” Pressing my lips inward, I timidly replied.

” Wow! What a horrible friend you are. Can't even pick a gift.” She yells at me, breaking my poor heart.

Oh god! Why must be I punished for my idiot friends?

” Give me some ideas.” Pressing my face onto her body, I whɨnėd like a kid.

” Don't be so childish. You know him better than I do.” That's where you are wrong wifey!

” Wow! I really am a horrible friend.” My sarcasm hit the mark. But I was also admitting my fault. Really. Although my expression betrayed me, revealing my wicked side!

” Go now. I'm busy.” She drove me away like a lost puppy or more like a bug. I bet she's very annoyed at me. I'm so useless—— a hopeless disappointment.

Anyway I struggled hard to find the perfect gift for my best friend—— Luke. Not gonna lie, my brain got twisted in a bad perplexity.

After some serious calculations, I finally found it. The moment I laid my eyes on it, I knew it had to be the one. I told them to gift wrap it.

If this doesn't make him happy then I better stop being his friend.

As the packing was done, I returned back to my wife. After looking around the place where I left her, my gaze fell upon her. It seems that she has also found the gift for Regina.

The attendant was warping the the gift but Stella was looking at the earring displayed next to her. I couldn't hear her but she told the man to hand over the earrings.

Ah! Diamonds are women's best friends.

Of course she can't keep her eyes away from such jewels. I smiled at the sight of her dazzlement. Because she never showed any interest in buying jewellery. My card is with her so she doesn't have to worry.

I waited for her at the gate. It will make her embarrassed if she found out that I was gawking at her.

” You got the gift?”

” Yes, yes, yes. Now let's head back home.”
