Falling in Love with My Childhood Friend Before Marriage

The moment Bryant Harper arrived, the handsome boy took the hint and left.

He walked over slowly, picked up the bottle of red wine on the table, and looked at it.

"You are really generous, Mrs. Harper."

He sat down next to me, his burgundy suit matching the sofa I had carefully selected.

I drained the rest of the glass.

"Do you still remember who I am? Then tell me, who abandoned me and went abroad just after getting married?"

"Oh, come on."

I got a little tipsy from drinking with the handsome boy, so I couldn't see Bryant clearly for a moment.

Only then did I notice that he was holding a beautiful jewelry box in his hand.

"Is it a gift to me?"

I stretched out and pounced towards him.

Bryant quickly stuffed the jewelry box into my hands before I touched his chest.

The box made of lambskin felt soft and smooth to the touch. I muttered to myself as I opened it, "You please me with money again. I don't lack money at all. Well, the... the necklace just happens to be a perfect match for my neck."

My attitude changed as I opened the jewelry box.

In the box was a crystal clear sapphire necklace.

I realized that it was sold for a seven-figure price at an auction some time ago. It turned out that Bryant was the one who bought it with such a generous sum.

"Thank you, darling."

I held his face with my hands, wanting to give him a kiss, but he pressed on my face and pushed me away.

"You act like this right after drinking. If I hadn't come, who would you have kissed?"

I laughed secretly while thinking that Bryant would actually be jealous.

He stood up and waved his hand, indicating that I could go home.

I stood up and pretended to get drunk, swaying from side to side, and then sitting back on the sofa.

I kicked off one of my high heels and hummed.

Bryant turned around, looking helpless, came over to me, and picked me up from the sofa.

I leaned happily on Bryant's chest, which felt great to the touch, and enjoyed his care.

At this time, I acted as if I drank too much.

"Your acting is terrible."

Bryant's voice of spoil came from above his head suddenly.

I pretended not to hear anything and tightened my arms around his neck.

Later, I slept sideways in the back seat of the car, holding the sapphire necklace in my arms.

The wine club was only a ten-minute drive from home.

Entering the house, I found that Bryant's luggage was still piled in the entrance hall, and his casual clothes were on the sofa.

It looked like he came looking for me immediately after changing his clothes.

Upon entering the room, he began to undress and walked into the room.

I followed him closely, imagining the scene of our reunion tonight.

Unexpectedly, the door was slammed shut by Bryant before I could follow him in.

"Bryant, what are you doing? This is our room!"

"You want to sleep with me after drinking with another man? Go back to your room."

"Humph!"

I stood at the door and listened to the noise inside. Hearing the door being locked, I stopped pretending immediately.

I quickly returned to my room, removed my makeup, and took a shower. Before going to bed, I admired the sapphire necklace that Bryant had bought for me at a huge cost.

It was already one o'clock in the morning when I finished washing up and lay down on the bed.

Only then did I have time to open my phone, and an app sent me a notification.

"Today is the 300th day of the contract."

Actually, it was the 300th day of marriage.

On the second day, I slept until I woke up naturally as usual.

When I stretched and opened the door, Bryant was already having lunch.

He ate the last forkful of noodles, saying, "I didn't sleep all night because of the jet lag, but you slept so soundly that I almost wondered if there was anyone else in the room."

"Since you are not often at home, why should I wake up early?"

I could be as sarcastic as him.

Bryant changed the subject. "Why do you lock the door when you sleep?"

"You locked the door first, remember? I was afraid you would regret it in the middle of the night and come to my room and do something to me."

Bryant was amused by me but still insisted, "You are daydreaming again."

He cleared his dishes, put on his suit jacket, and prepared to go out.

"I'm going to the company first, and you can accompany me to the hospital to see Grandma later."

"No problem."
