Chapter 275 A Hairpin for a Bowl

This enamel bowl was a bit different from the four she bid for in the charity before. She held it carefully with her eyes fixed on it as if she

were a wolf and the bowl were her prey. “Was it made 400 years ago?”

Owen’s eyes also lit up. Although he knew that she had done lots of surveys on the antiques, he didn’t expect her to be such an expert. He

replied with a smile, “Yes. How would you know that?”

She appreciated the small bowl from different angles with information about it flashing across her mind- the enamel bowl has flower patterns made 400 years ago with a round shape and a wide rim. The interior of it was covered with a white glazed surface and the exterior was depicted colorfully with two blooming flowers and a few wild branches. She said consciously, “All those enamels made 500 years ago only have simple patterns and decorations while this one has flowers and mountains as its patterns together with a poem on

Besides, its interior is white, which shows that it is a typical one made 400 years ago.”

“Great.” Owen applauded. “That’s an enamel bowl made 400 years ago.” When Hailey was reading the poem on the exterior, he asked, “Do

you like it? That’s your gift.” He smiled at her.

She was dazed by his words. Suddenly she recalled the charity auction where she competed with him for the four enamel bowls. Back

then, he kept raising the price and at last, he got them. It seemed that he loved those bowls dearly.

“My gift?” Her eyes were still fixed on the little bowl which was already put back in the box. She smiled faintly, “Hey, when do you become

so generous? You even want to give the beautiful bowl to me. Amazing After closing the box, she said, “Okay, I accept it.”

Actually, he had been afraid that she wouldn’t accept it. So when she gave her word, he relaxed.

In the next second, she said, “How much should I pay for it?”

He became unsettled again with his eyes narrowed. “What?”

“I don’t know where you got it. But I think that you must do a lot for it,” she said quietly. “You are a good businessman who never makes a

deal at a loss. Besides, the bowl is so precious. I can’t take it from you without paying anything. What do you want from me? Just tell me.

I am not a miser.” She now looked like a merchant who didn’t care about the relationship but money.

Her attitude was like a knife stabbing into his heart. He felt his throat much tight and it took him some effort to speak out some words.

“I… I just want to give you a gift. I don’t want your money or anything else. I just… I just want you to be happy”

“Well, I am happy. Thanks.” She didn’t hide her true thought. “But I can’t accept it without giving you anything back. That’s not polite even if

you were my brother. And in fact, we are not even friends, but just a divorced…” She couldn’t say the word, couple. In her eyes, they hadn’t

been a couple at all and their marriage was fake. “In short, I must give you the money.” There were no emotions in her beautiful eyes.

Seeing him refuse to say the price of the bowl, she said, “Well, I can ask Chris to write a check to you. I will pay for the bowl at its market

price. If you don’t want the money, I can give you a gift back…”

Before she could finish her words, he said, “I want the hairpin on your head.”

While she was still dazed, he took the wooden hairpin from her hair which then settled on her shoulders.

“Okay, I got your gift,” said he, holding the wooden hairpin in his hand.

She frowned. “That’s an ordinary hairpin. It isn’t that worthy.” She bought it from a small shop when she was window-shopping with Sofia.

It was made of fine wood, but still a wood thing. Since she was so bored in the ward, she carved a rose and her name, Hailey, on it, which

made it quite good looking. But after all, she just paid 20 bucks for it, which was no match for the enamel bowl.

“I think it is of high price. It’s good.” He put it into his pocket quickly as if he was afraid that she would take it back. After putting the

lunch boxes back in the bag, he turned around to leave the ward with the bag. “I am leaving. I will be back at dinner time.” “What? She frowned tightly and shouted after him, “Hey, Owen. Don’t come…” Before she finished her sentence, the door of the ward was

closed by him.

In the next ward, Sofia was lying on the bed waiting for the acupuncture. She looked at Jared and said, “Hey, why are you here again? Do

you love acupuncture?”

Holding his black phone, Jared raised his head. “Yes.”

Sofia was confused.

“That’s interesting,” he explained.

“What the fuck!” She was angry.

But as soon as she moved, Catherine said, “Hey. Stop and lie back on the bed.”

Sofia didn’t dare to move again and just glared at Jared She thought If I were not injured, I would beat you blue and purple. What the hell

are you talking about? She then tilted her head to ask Matthew on the other side, “Why are you also here?”

Sitting on the sofa, Matthew held his waist gently and said, “I am waiting for the acupuncture as well. But…” He paused and smiled evilly.

“To see you acupunctured is so funny. Hey, little Solon, you are the best female gunner in Dragon Special Force, but you have to be

obedient now. Interesting! I should record your acupuncture and send it to our comrades. They must find it amusing as well.” He took out

his phone to take a record, but he met Jared’s sullen gaze.

“If you don’t want me to beat you, just put away your phone,” said Jared coldly.

Irritated by Matthew, Sofia was about to lose her temper when she heard Jared’s words. Then she lay back on the bed.

Matthew pursed his lips and put away his phone probably because Jared’s warning was kind of intimidating.

While giving Sofia the acupuncture treatment, Catherine asked with a smile, “Solon? Is that your nickname?”

“Kind of. Actually, it is my code name,” answered Sofia, who was lying on the bed weakly. “They gave me that name, but I hate it. It’s not

beautiful.” “They” referred to Owen and Matthew

Catherine smiled. “I think it’s cute” Then she looked at Matthew. “Matt, what’s your code name?”

Matthew pressed his lips together and lied to her calmly, “I don’t have one.”

“No, he has one.” Sofia retorted immediately. Then she added with a big smile, “His code name is little OW.”

“Little OW? Why?” asked Catherine with curiosity.

Matthew looked at Sofia with a warning in his eyes. He didn’t want her to say the reason.

But Sofia ignored his gaze and smiled meaningly. “Because OW is Owen’s code name.”

Catherine grunted with confusion.

Jared snorted and said, “He and Owen must get along well with each other. Little OW sounds like the son of OW.”

Matthew narrowed his eyes at Jared unhappily. “So you are provoking me? Do you want to have a fight with me?”
