Accidentally Yours (Serena and Harrison) novel Chapter 12

The atmosphere grew silent.

After a brief pause, Harrison suddenly remembered something. Slowly, he reached into his inner pocket and pulled out a small, elegant velvet box. He handed it to Serena.

Seeing the unexpected gift, Serena hesitated momentarily, her expression showing her puzzlement. "What is this?"

"Open it and see for yourself."

She took the box with curiosity and carefully lifted the lid.

A teardrop-shaped coffee-colored diamond ring lay inside. It nestled in the soft fabric, sparkling brilliantly under the light. This particular shade of coffee-colored diamond was rare and highly collectible.

And this specific 5.2-carat diamond ring had fetched a staggering 28 million dollars at last month's jewelry auction.

Did Harrison really just give her a 20-million-dollar diamond ring like that?

Serena gazed at the exquisite ring in her hand, emotions swirling in her chest. She couldn't quite understand why he was suddenly giving her such an expensive gift—especially a diamond ring. Did he not realize what it meant for a man to give a woman a diamond ring?

But their relationship was purely nominal.

Serena shut the box and resolutely handed it back to him. "This is too valuable. I can't accept it."

Harrison's brows furrowed slightly, a flicker of surprise crossing his gaze. Without hesitation, he pressed the box back into her hands with a commanding presence. "We may only be husband and wife in name, but you can't appear too shabby as my wife."

His reasoning was sound, but still...

Harrison's patience thinned when he saw her hesitate. His voice took on a chill. "It's yours now. If you don't like it, throw it away."

Serena lowered her eyes, letting her gaze settle on the small velvet box in her hands. A ripple of emotion stirred within her.

He might be cold, but... he didn't seem as terrifying as the rumors suggested. She stopped resisting and accepted the gift.

"Thank you, Mr. Spencer."

His handsome face remained unreadable, but his tone noticeably softened. "Are you heading back to the Linden residence?"

"Yes."

An hour later, the car slowly pulled up in front of the Linden residence.

"This is my stop." Serena turned her head, her gaze gentle as she looked at Harrison and thanked him once more, "Thank you again for tonight, Mr. Spencer."

Harrison slowly opened his eyes, his voice indifferent. "You've already said that too many times. Next time, show your gratitude with action."

"Action?" Serena blinked in confusion.
