The Man She Wouldn’t Touch Is Never Coming Back Chapter 06

The steward stammered, flustered, “Mr. Voss gave them to us, ma’am.”

Something strange flickered through Iris’s chest.

She hurried upstairs and pushed open the bedroom door. Kian was sorting through the wardrobe.

“Why are you giving my things away?” she demanded sharply.

Kian did not lift his head, his tone steady.”You never used them. They would only gather dust here. It is better to give them to people who will make use of them.”

Iris stared at his profile. Something about him felt different, yet she could not name exactly what had shifted.

She went to the study afterward and realized the sandalwood keepsake box was gone.

Inside it sat the sapphire bracelet Silas had given her, which she had kept hidden deep in her drawer.

“Kian.” She stormed back into the bedroom, her face dark with fury. “Give me my bracelet.”

Kian lifted his head, confused.”What bracelet?”

Iris pulled up a photo on her phone.”This one. Find out who you gave it to and get it back within an hour. There will be consequences if you do not.”

Kian studied the picture for three seconds. He knew instantly that anything capable of unraveling her like this must belong to Silas.

He had not touched the box, but afraid of an oversight, he began searching the entire villa.

Unexpectedly, Iris joined him.

The woman who shrank from the slightest unclean contact knelt amid the mess. Her dress collected dust, her expensive heels sank into piles of refuse, and her slender fingers sifted through grimy plastic bags.

Kian stood watching, and his breath grew tight.

In all their years of marriage, this was the first time he had seen her ruin herself for something.

A gift from Silas was worth every bit of this to her.
