I had received countless gifts before, but this was the first birthday gift from my boyfriend.
But when I opened it, I stood frozen in place.
Josh watched me, his eyes filled with a hint of anticipation, and asked, "What's wrong? Is it ugly or do you not like it?"
Honestly, it was beautiful, and I did like it.
But such an expensive gift shouldn't have come from him.
Because it was a set of jewelry worth over a million dollars.
The smile on my face faded slightly as I closed the gift box. I looked into his dark eyes and asked softly, "Josh, what made you think of giving me jewelry?"
Josh quickly glanced at me and stammered, "I—I didn't know what else to get you. I just noticed your neck looked bare, and while I was playing on my phone, I saw a live stream selling necklaces, so I picked this set."
"By accident? Selling necklaces?"
Which big streamer would sell a million-dollar set of jewelry in a live stream?
Is he trying to fool me like a three-year-old?
Looking at his genuinely sincere face, I wasn't sure anymore:
"This emerald..."
Josh met my gaze and, with clear eyes, explained, "This emerald is obviously fake, but the silver chain is real."
I: "…"
I forgot to tell him that I majored in jewelry design.
I had seen my mom's jewelry box with all sorts of colorful gems. After I majored in jewelry design in college, I'd encountered hundreds of types of gemstones.
Whether it was real or fake, I could tell in an instant.
...
After my birthday, Josh said he had some business at home and had to leave for a bit.
I casually asked, "Do you want me to come with you?"
After all, we had been together for quite some time, and my parents knew him.
It was also about time I visited Josh's parents.
But Josh's expression changed, and he quickly came up with an excuse to turn me down.
If this had been before, I wouldn't have cared.
But now, after he gave me such an expensive gift, I couldn't help but be a little suspicious.
After watching him get into a taxi, I immediately hailed one myself and followed him.
