"Don't you like it?" Edward asked.
There was clearly a hint of pampering.
Candice frowned.
She felt that she had heard those familiar words somewhere before.
She forced herself to calm down and smiled elegantly. "Chief, you've misunderstood. It's not that I don't like it. I just heard that this jade bracelet was left behind by your ex-wife, so I wanted to bid for it and return it to you. I was extremely touched that you could attend the charity banquet personally and even donate a charity auction item, so I wanted to use this auction item to thank you."
Edward retracted his hand silently.
There was no awkwardness.
He just looked at how Candice had indifferently and skillfully rejected his gift.
He said, "Okay."
It was the same indifferent response again.
Candice merely smiled. She did not know if it was an illusion, but she felt that the Edward in front of her was looking at her strangely.
