BOOKSDRAMA Chapter 1304
Chapter 1304:
Florrie couldn't bring herself to do it and just sobbed out of grievance. She clung to Calvert like a drowning person clinging to a life raft. Florrie felt trapped. She'd put everything into this relationship, and the thought of losing it was unbearable. If she had to choose, she'd rather live in this lie than face the truth.
Seeing that Florrie was starting to calm down, Calvert's eyes flickered, and he pulled out a beautiful bracelet. It was stunning, sparkling under the light, clearly a valuable piece. Florrie's eyes were immediately drawn to it, and she looked at Calvert in disbelief.
Calvert fastened the bracelet around Florrie's wrist, putting on a show of deep affection.
"I've been meaning to give you this for ages," he said.
"I just wanted to surprise you. Florrie, please don't cry. It's all my fault. I had my reasons for bribing the spiritual advisor. I just didn't know how to tell you because I knew you wouldn't approve."
Florrie was quickly won over, wiping away her tears as she asked, "How much did this bracelet cost?"
Calvert paused, thinking quickly. He'd swiped it from Kallie's place. He knew it was expensive jewelry but wasn't sure of the exact value, so he plucked a number out of thin air.
Florrie's eyes widened, and she stopped crying, her cheeks flushing slightly.
"You've never given me anything this expensive before!" she exclaimed.
"This is too much! You shouldn't have brought such an expensive thing."
But her eyes betrayed her true feelings, shining with delight.
Calvert ignored her comment, focusing on soothing her.
"Florrie, let me explain why I did that. I knew if the spiritual advisor told Gracelyn it was our child she needed, Gracelyn would get suspicious, and all the money we've spent on the spiritual advisor would be for nothing. So, I came up with that plan on the spot to make sure we succeed. I swear, I had no other reason."

Even though Calvert was showering her with sweet talk, Florrie knew his true nature. But it didn't matter. She was happy to stay in her fantasy world. She simply said, "I understand your reasoning, but I still can't accept it. Even if the plan falls apart, I can't bear the thought of you and Kallie having a child. We're husband and wife! You expect me to watch you have a baby with another woman? It's insane!"
Inwardly, Calvert seethed, cursing Florrie for her stubbornness. Outwardly, however, he plastered on a forced smile.
"Are you just going to throw all that money we've spent on the spiritual advisor down the drain?" he asked.
Florrie nodded firmly.
"I'd rather lose the money," she stated.
Calvert was thoroughly frustrated, not with the plan itself, but with Florrie's strongheadedness. It was becoming painfully clear she wouldn't budge. He saw no point in wasting any more time on her. But he couldn't risk her anger, which might lead her to spill the beans to Gracelyn.
So, Calvert released his hold on Florrie, feigning nonchalance.

Seeing Calvert's apparent dejection,
Florrie felt a pang of unease. She even started to wonder if she was
being unreasonably betty: But N honestly, she reasoned, no wife who
truly loved her husband could be that generous. Besides, their relationship hadn't suffered. Calvert had even
bought her jewelry, and things
between them had been going well.
