The Billionaire CEO Wants to Marry Me Every Day-Chapter 405: Shark Tooth Necklace
When Summer Monroe mentioned Damian Knight, Julian Kingston’s expression became a bit complex.
He had, of course, also noticed Damian Knight’s special attention towards Summer Monroe, but between brothers, anything can be shared except for women.
Julian Kingston averted his gaze and said, "I’ve just returned home and haven’t contacted him, so I don’t know."
Summer Monroe had no choice but to turn to Isaac Ross.
Isaac Ross thought for a moment and replied, "I also just returned this morning, and I don’t know about what’s going on with Damian. But he’s been overseas for two days, so the company must have a lot piled up for him. Why? Do you need something from him?"
Summer Monroe suddenly felt quite irritated.
However, she maintained a calm facade and shook her head, saying, "It’s nothing. He just picked up a patient from me yesterday, and I’m concerned about the patient’s condition. I don’t want to disturb his work, so I thought I’d ask you guys."
"Oh, are you talking about Cece?" Isaac Ross gave her a reassuring look and said, "Damian called me. I’ve arranged for the best surgeon in the country for Cece. Before I left, they called to say her fever had gone down. With a week of bed rest, she should be able to have stitches removed and be discharged. By the way, the hospital also told me the sutures were done exceptionally well, even better than theirs. I guessed it was your handiwork, right?"
Summer Monroe nodded, somewhat absent-mindedly saying, "As long as she’s okay. You all should get going. I don’t want to delay you any longer."
"Alright, we’re heading off then." Isaac Ross waved his hand and walked towards the school gate.
Julian Kingston hesitated for a moment and eventually fished out a small box from his pocket.
Ronan Kingston saw this and quickly pulled Finn Ford, who was eager for gossip, away.
Summer Monroe hesitated and asked, "Is this... for me?"
Julian Kingston nodded and said, "This isn’t something bought, I made it myself. You can have it as a plaything. I’m off now."
As he spoke, he stuffed the small box into her hand, looking as though he was afraid she might refuse, then turned and hurried off.
Summer Monroe kept watching until Julian Kingston’s figure disappeared from sight before she lowered her head to open the box.
As soon as the box opened, Summer Monroe’s gaze immediately froze.
Inside was a necklace with a handwoven string, varying in thickness, and the pendant... Summer rubbed it in her hand and immediately realized it was a shark tooth, polished smooth.
Summer Monroe suddenly remembered that during her time in Europe, she had heard a saying when she visited the European Seas.
The saying goes that if a young man has a girl he admires, he should go to the sea to hunt a shark, and if he can take a shark’s tooth and give it to his beloved, their feelings will be reciprocated.
This saying was widely spread there, so much so that even her adoptive parents knew about it, and whenever one went on a business trip to that area, they would bring back shark tooth souvenirs as tokens of love.
She had only ever heard of everyone buying souvenirs; she’d never heard of anyone actually catching sharks.
This couldn’t possibly be a shark Julian Kingston himself caught and extracted the tooth from, could it?
But if it was a souvenir, the workmanship of this necklace was too careless. Even a ten-dollar one wouldn’t be this crude.
Summer Monroe tightened her grip on the necklace, feeling a bit unsure.
Regardless of whether the shark tooth was bought or pulled out by Julian Kingston, she had to find a good time to explain her feelings to him.
She really wasn’t in a state for a relationship right now, and besides... she really had no thoughts beyond friendship towards Julian Kingston.
As Summer Monroe stood there pondering how to clarify things with Julian Kingston, her phone suddenly chimed with a "ding."
