Chapter 64 - Where Have I Seen This Before? (2) (2/2)

Whatever the relationship, there was always a process to it. But there was not much of a relationship between the two. At best, he seemed more likely to flirt with other women than choose to like someone like her.

Perhaps he wanted to pay back a debt in the past? Elena chose to lean towards that explanation. After a moment of thought, Elena turned her head and saw Mirabelle staring at her with lonely eyes. Elena stroked her sister’s soft cheek.

“You’re the only one I need.”

“Ah, really?”

“Yes. If Mirabelle stays with me like this now, I don’t need anything else.”

“Heeeu–”

Mirabelle turned bright red as she smiled, and the sight of it tugged on Elena’s heart so much she smiled after her. This small happiness will do. She would never give up on this life she had been given.

Mirabelle pointed to one of the unopened jewelry boxes.

“Shall I open it then put what’s in there away, too?”

“Yes.”

She hadn’t decided what to do with them yet, but they couldn’t afford to leave such expensive jewelry lying around. Mirabelle opened the box.

“Oh, sister!”

Elena turned at Mirabelle’s startled voice. There was a necklace with a red jewel that caught their eyes. While the other boxes brimmed with various accessories, this box cradled only one special necklace.

‘…Where have I seen something like this before?’

Elena tilted her head as she looked at the vaguely familiar item. Mirabelle continued with a trembling voice.

“Isn’t this similar the red diamond necklace we saw at the jeweler’s, before we left for the capital? “

“…What?”

Elena, who was not one to be easily surprised, found herself surprised yet again in a single day. Her mouth fell open as she recalled the price of a red diamond she saw at the jewelry store. However, the red diamond set in this necklace was much larger. She couldn’t imagine wearing such a costly thing around her neck. She had lived her last life frugally, and while and she tried to enjoy luxury when she could, this was too much.

‘I don’t know what else to do, but I can’t really accept this.’

After Mirabelle left, Elena tied a red handkerchief on the window. She didn’t tie several of them like the time when Carlisle was in danger, but…

As if to express her embarrassment, she tied two handkerchiefs to the window.
