Chapter 70 Award (Part Two) (2/2)

Suddenly, a resonant voice echoed from the sky as if God were speaking.

”Congratulations, boy! You've passed the test. Since you did it perfectly, I will give you something as a reward,” it said.

After the unknown voice finished speaking, a tiny, wooden box appeared in front of Darren seemingly carried by a ray of white light. Darren reached out his hand, took the box, and leaped onto the bank.

He walked towards Elsa

's yours,” Elsa said. She declined politely, unwilling to accept a gift so precious.

”Take it, Elsa. Your refusal makes me feel embarrassed. I'll feel bad if you insist.” Darren replied seriously.

Elsa stared at his face and saw the clear intent in his eyes. This was the first time Darren spoke to her that way.

”Take it, little girl. Your boyfriend is giving you a very precious gift. Your refusal will surely hurt him. Just do as he says and take the damn gift.” Mathew's shadow jested.

Reluctantly, Elsa reached out and held the precious elixir in her hands. Her face turned crimson red when she heard Mathew's shadow refer to Darren as her boyfriend. To hide her shyness, she lowered her head to avoid the gaze of the two men in front of her. But she explained nothing. She just peeped at Darren from the corner of her eyes to observe his reaction.

Darren seemed unaffected. It seemed like there was nothing unusual about it. That brought a hidden smile on Elsa's lips. Her heartbeat quickened in glee.

'Was he silent because he accepted it? Or did he just completely ignore Matthew's words? Or... was he just afraid of embarrassing me so he decided to keep quiet?' Thoughts suddenly flooded Elsa. She cared so much about what Darren thought of her.
