The silver bracelets were made by John after he collected scrap for a month, bought the materials, and crafted them with his own hands. They had once held great significance for me.
But apart from their sentimental value, the silver bracelets were not worth much.
Moreover, the so–called preciousness of those silver bracelets was, to me, a thing of the past.
I no longer wanted John himself; how could I possibly keep the silver bracelets?
On the night I moved out of John’s villa, I happened to see an elderly man with white hair rummaging through the trash next to the dumpster. I took off the silver bracelets and placed them in front of the old man.
Selling those silver bracelets could provide the old man with several good meals.
That was the last bit of significance they held.
“What did you say?”
John’s fingers on her wrist suddenly tightened. Clearly, he couldn’t believe she would really throw away the silver bracelets.
“What did you do with those silver bracelets? Tell me again!”
Lily didn’t evade. Her voice was even colder, devoid of any fluctuation. “Things that are unimportant and unwanted naturally go into the trash bin!”
“Lily!”
John was about to be driven mad by Lily’s defiant and rebellious attitude, her very embodiment of “Born Defiant.”
However, after calming down, he realized that Lily was speaking out of anger.
At that second–hand store, I examined the list over and over again.
Every single item I had given Lily over the years, even a pair of inconspicuous silver earrings, had been sold by her. But that list did not include the silver bracelets.
If she truly didn’t want the silver bracelets, she would have sold them as well. Why throw them away? After thinking this through, he stopped arguing with her and instead held her hand more tightly, speaking in a deep voice, “Stop deliberately trying to upset me. I know you’re making a fuss this time to make me take the initiative to bow down. I can’t live without you. Lily, I’m willing to bow down. Let’s stop arguing and fighting. Don’t run away from home anymore. Can we just live a good life together?”
Lily was about to say no when his phone rang abruptly.
He and Lily hadn’t yet resolved their issues and untied the knots in their hearts. At a time like this, he

However, seeing that the call was from Elsa, he feared she might have an emergency and answered the phone.
“Lizzy, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell again?”
“John….”
Elsa’s voice was tinged with a noticeable sob, helpless and pitiful.
“There’s thunder outside, and I’m really scared……”
Hearing Elsa’s voice, John instinctively glanced at the windows at the end of the corridor.
Without realizing it, it had started raining heavily outside.
A flash of lightning streaked across the window, accompanied by howling north winds and peals of thunder.
Looking at the windows illuminated by the lightning, he couldn’t help but recall the night before when Elsa had nestled in his arms, trembling and vulnerable amidst the thunderstorm.
A sense of worry naturally arose in his heart.
“Ah!
In that moment of distraction, he heard Elsa’s panicked scream again, “Why did the power suddenly go out? It’s so dark, so cold, I’m so scared……John, what should I do?”
Elsa’s voice grew more frantic and gradually became incoherent with crying.
The proud and aloof cold rose had never been this vulnerable before, and John felt particularly uneasy.
Elsa was already critically ill and on her last legs; he certainly didn’t want her to endure such helplessness and panic.
He instinctively comforted her, “Lizzy, don’t be afraid. I’m coming right over. Lily, there’s thunder outside.. Lizzy is particularly afraid of thunder, and I need to go to her place.”
He quickly placed the pink diamond necklace and the ruby earrings in her hand. “I’ll find back everything you sold. Don’t throw these tantrums anymore; it’s pointless. I’ll come by tomorrow night to pick you up, and we’ll go home together!”
With that, he strode towards the elevator with his long, straight legs.
Ha!
How interesting!
He had just said he couldn’t live without me, but as soon as Elsa expressed her fear, he rushed over to embrace and comfort her. How deep his love for me was!
Since they had broken up, Lily definitely wouldn’t want the necklace and earrings anymore,

She quickly stepped forward and stuffed the carrings and necklace into his pocket.

Ex–boyfriend and ex–girlfriend don’t need to give each other things. John, really stop annoying me!”
With that, she turned around and quickly entered her room, locking the door behind her.
Hearing the heavy door slam, clutching the necklace and earrings in his pocket, John’s face turned as ugly as if someone owed him billions.
He didn’t want her to return the earrings and necklace to him.
He also didn’t like women who kept making a fuss.
He wanted to chase after her and give her back the earrings and necklace, but thinking that if he continued to waste time, Elsa would suffer more fear, so he decided to give her the items tomorrow night.
The elevator soon arrived at this floor.
