Chapter 12：Gift (2/2)

”Did you hear what I said?” asked Andrew when the waiter left, he occasionally glanced at Carolina who was still staring at the sea view in front of him.

”Hm.”

”Oh yeah, this is for you,” Andrew said, taking out a box and placing it right in front of Carolina.

Carolina looked at the box for a moment, before holding it and asking, ”what's this?” she asked, now turning her body to face Andrew.

”A present,” Andrew replied with a smile.

”But it's you who has a birthday, why did you even give me a present?” asked Carolina, totally confused.

”With you who are here with me, it has become the best present on my birthday this time,” Andrew replied with a tone that was more gentle than usual, he looked at Carolina deeply, as if to reveal that what he said was really sincere. from deep in his heart.

”Is this really for me?” Carolina asked in confirmation.

”Yes, just open it,” said Andrew.

Carolina then opened the box given by Andrew and found a pair of drop type earrings with a white raindrop-like style. Even though Carolina wasn't really into jewelry, she could tell that the earrings were made in white gold.

”I can't take it, it's too expensive,” said Carolina, who immediately closed the box and placed it right in front of Andrew.

”W-What an expensive, T-This is white iron, only two hundred thousand,” said Andrew, who then put the box back in front of Carolina

Andrew winced in his heart when he heard what he just said, of course it was gold. 18 carat white with 75% gold content. The price, of course, is not just 200 thousand.

After all, since when did Andrew spend that much money on his girlfriend in the past? At least at least 6 digits of the money he spent.

As he thought, Carolina would refuse if he bought herself something expensive.

At first Andrew wanted to buy something in diamond, or rhinestone, but the material was too flashy and glamorous, Carolina definitely wouldn't accept it. He then switched to buying something made of gold, but on second thought, Carolina definitely wouldn't accept it even if the gold only had a little carat.

Finally he decided to look for jewelry in white gold, if Carolina refused, he could give the excuse that it was white iron.

The reason he chose earrings instead of bracelets was because he preferred staring at Carolina's face, while the reason why he didn't buy a ring was that it could be bought later at their wedding, ahem, or first engagement if Carolina doesn't want to get married yet.

Carolina stared at Andrew, she clearly knew the man was lying from the tone of his voice. After thinking that it was the man's birthday, Carolina then took the box and put it in the pocket of the hotpants she was wearing. On a normal day she certainly wouldn't take it.

”Thank you!” said Carolina with a smile.

”Try it, I want to see,” said Andrew smiling. Then grab the drink and take a sip. But the look in his eyes could not be separated from Carolina.

”Later, at your birthday party,” said Carolina who suddenly felt embarrassed being stared at like that.

The atmosphere returned to silence, Carolina occasionally stirring her drink and then take a sip, waiting for the fries to arrive.

While Andrew seemed to be struggling, he seemed like he was about to say something but didn't know where to start, afterall, this was his first time saying it.

”Carol,” Andrew called. He had decided to tell his feelings for what they were and sincerely.

”Hm,” said Carolina, who was still stirring her drink.

”Actually ...”

”Excuse me, this is Chicken Burger 1 and French Fries 1, enjoy,” had not yet had time for Andrew to want to say his words, suddenly the waiter who had been serving them came with their order.

Andrew stared at the waiter with annoyance! How could that waiter come to bother at a time like this!
