Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband

Chapter 514 Jade Bracelet (Part 2) *Damon*

A playful chuckle escaped my lips as I continued, "I mean, she was very beautiful, just like you. So, naturally, I find similarities."

I watched their faces closely, hoping to see them relax upon hearing my explanation.

Their expressions softened, and Blair couldn't help but tease, "You're quite the charmer, Prince." Her playful tone echoed through the air, and I couldn't help but smile at her comment. "Tell me something new, Princess!" I replied, joining in the lighthearted banter.

Interrupting our playful exchange, I turned my attention directly to Princess Blair, my tone taking on a more serious note.

"Princess Blair, if you don't mind, I want to take your friend on a coffee date," I asked bluntly, my intentions clear. I didn't believe in wasting time when I knew what I wanted.

Blair responded dramatically, adding a touch of theatrical flair to her words.

"You have my permission if Selena is okay," she declared, giving her consent with a flourish.

"No!" Selena's initial reaction was panic, glaring at her friend, causing a smirk to form on my lips.

I knew it wouldn't be easy to sway her. Then she stammered, trying to cover up her blunt refusal of my offer, "I mean, we have to return to the pack house quickly before I get into trouble for not doing my duties." "Come on, Selena. I already told Avery that you'd be with me," Blair said, rolling her eyes at her friend's excuses, exasperated by Selena's overthinking.

Selena attempted to reason, her voice laced with worry, "But the Matron will be angry."

Her concern for the consequences was evident, causing a slight frown to crease my brow.

Blair argued, "You think too much."

"Okay, how about I accompany you while you girls shop?" Seeking a compromise, I suggested an alternative plan, hoping to find a middle ground that would put Selena at ease. I just want to spend more time with her. Selena's gaze shifted between Blair and me, silently communicating her thoughts. After a brief moment of contemplation, she finally agreed, her eyes meeting Blair's in a wordless understanding. "Okay." She still looked restless.

Just spend some more time with me, sweetheart, and you will know the reason for your restlessness.

As we strolled across the busy street, Blair's eyes lit up with excitement as she stopped at every shop, scanning for something that caught her attention. I couldn't help but frown when I noticed Selena refraining from buying anything, her expression slightly distant. Taking a moment, I decided to strike up a small talk with her, hoping to make her comfortable with me. Our conversation flowed effortlessly, and I found myself enjoying her presence. Her eyes glowed as she talked. Her hands moved to add more allure to her words. Everything she did was so enchanting.

Then, amidst the myriad of trinkets and accessories, a beautiful jade bracelet caught my attention. Its intricate design and vibrant green hue seemed to be the perfect match for Selena's elegance.

"This is so beautiful," I whispered, my gaze fixed on the bracelet. "It will look even more beautiful if you wear it, goddess."

Selena's eyes widened at my words, a mixture of surprise and uncertainty flashing across her face.

"Oh no, it's very expensive," she protested, her voice laced with hesitation.

A determined smile played on my lips as I reassured her, "I am buying it for you."

Selena looked startled, her lips parting in disbelief.

"No, I can't take such an expensive gift from you, Prince Damon," she protested, her voice filled with genuine concern.

"Call me Damon," I insisted, hoping to break down the barriers between us.

"How can I call you by name, Prince," she shrugged, dismissing my request.

"Please, Selena. It's Damon to you," I demanded authoritatively in my royal tone.

She hesitated for a moment, her eyes searching mine, before finally nodding.

"Alright, Damon," she acquiesced, a hint of a smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "But I can't accept this expensive bracelet." Ignoring her protests, I had already paid for the bracelet, determined to see her wear it.

"It's yours because I want you to wear it," I stated firmly in a tone filled with sincerity.noveldrama

"No!" Selena's voice wavered, her gaze full of resistance.

"Please," I pleaded softly, my eyes locked with hers.

She sighed helplessly, finally giving in to my persistent request.

"Alright," she whispered, her voice barely audible, but her agreement was clear.

I couldn't help but grin triumphantly, knowing that she had accepted my gift.

"Allow me," I asked, extending my hand towards her. Selena hesitated for a moment before extending her hand. I felt the warmth of her skin against my cold hand as I touched her. All the memories and longing revived in me, but she was still unaware.

With careful and deliberate movements, I gently placed the bracelet on her wrist, the cool jade against her warm skin as the bracelet glimmered under the sunlight. As I fastened the clasp, a sense of authority washed over me, knowing that she would always have my bracelet reminding her of me while I was away from her. After the bracelet was securely in place, I took a brief look at it before letting go of her hand.

"Wow! Selena, that's so pretty," Blair exclaimed, having joined us from the neighboring shop, her eyes fixed on Selena's wrist adorned with the beautiful bracelet. "Damon got it for me," Selena replied hesitantly.

"Damon, huh? Interesting," Blair's voice carried a playful tone, teasingly insinuating something, and her eyes scrutinizing as she looked at me.

"If you like it, Princess Blair, I can get one for you too," I offered, hoping to divert her attention and alleviate any lingering suspicion she might have had. "Thank you, Prince," she responded, waving her hand dismissively. "But I prefer to buy things I like myself," she added, a hint of arrogance in her voice.

After a while, they bid their farewells

and left. My gaze lingered in the direction Selena had gone, a sense of purpose settling within me. It was as if fate had guided me to this place for a reason, and at that moment, I knew that my long quest had finally come to an end.
