The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1359

A thought struck her, and her expression turned serious. "Joshua, this isn't a family heirloom, is it?"

"No," Joshua replied. "The family heirloom is still with me."

Even so, judging by its ancient design, it was undoubtedly priceless. Stella thought of the fifty billion he had invested for her and suddenly felt that her past attempts to impress him with money had been almost insulting.

After a moment's thought, she decided not to refuse it. "Thank you, Joshua."

A smile finally bloomed on Joshua's face. He had seemed on edge ever since receiving her gifts, and Stella had worried that she had been presumptuous and given him things he didn't like.

"It's not as convenient to wear traditional pendants these days," Joshua said, "so I had it modified. You can wear it as a necklace." He stepped closer. "May I help you put it on?"

"Yes," Stella agreed.

Joshua took the pendant from the box and fastened it around her neck.

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back.

Stella noticed his hesitation. "I love it," she said sincerely. "I'll wear it always."

Joshua's eyes, like deep, clear pools, rippled with gentle waves of emotion. "Star, I love all the gifts you gave me," he said softly. He lowered his gaze to meet hers. "Today has been the happiest day of my life. No one has ever done so much for me."

"From now on," Stella promised, "you'll be this happy every year."
