My Ex, Please Love Me Again

As adults were having a good time talking to each other, children were extremely happy, too.

When it almost came to an end, Jamarion went to Alana on his own initiative who was talking with Bella. The boy smiled and said, “Alana, give you a gift. Good luck with your studying abroad.”

Alana felt a bit surprised, “Give me a gift?”

Jamarion nodded slightly and then took out a box packaged delicately and handed it to her. Alana hurried to take it and said, “Thank you.”

She was a bit awkward because she had no preparation. And she totally had no idea that Jamarion would give her a gift. Among them, they would merely give gifts to others when it came to their birthdays.

It attracted other children’s attention. Alaric protested querulously, “Where are ours?”

“That’s right. We also enter the university successfully,” said Benedict.

Jamarion smiled and explained, “You are all in Chiobar, and we can meet anytime. So, I didn’t prepare gifts for you.”

“Loyalty gives way to …”

Benedict was about to say “loyalty gives way to desire”, but he thought it unsuitable because Jamarion was three years younger than them, thereby stopping it.

Bella next to Alana looked at the delicate box curiously and asked, “What is it?”

Jamarion said with a smile, “Just a cup. Wish Alana drink much water and take good care of herself.”

Alana said quickly, “Thank you very much.”

“How about opening it?” Jamarion suggested.

Alana said OK and ripped the wrapping paper. Inside, there was a coffee cup made of white and blue porcelain which was so elegant that everyone became calm in a trice.

Somehow, they felt the cup, decorated with delicate arabesques, fit Alana very much.

“What a beautiful cup!” Christina exclaimed.

“It suits Alana indeed.” Bella nodded.

Also, Alana was amazed by this cup. She couldn’t be more in love with it and turned it over and over. Then she thanked him repeatedly, “It’s so great! Thank you, Jamarion.”

“I’m glad you like it.” Jamarion saw that Alana loved the present and then he just left to sing with Alaric and the other boys.

The boys just went on having fun after they were amazed for a while. But the girl still toyed with the cup. They never expected that they would be amazed by a cup one day.

After the banquet ended, everyone started to leave.

On the way back, Alana asked Julian in the car, “Dad, do you remember the set of books about economics you gave me before? Can I give it to Jamarion?”

The set of books was limited edition, and Julian bought it when he was still a student. It was written by a famous economist. Now, it had been out of print, so Alana asked for Julian’s opinion.

As Julian heard that his daughter was about to give something to Nina’s son Jamarion, he suddenly felt a bit repelled and asked, “Why?”

Alana told him the truth, “Because he gave me a gift tonight. I think I should give something back, shouldn’t I?”

“What? He gave you a gift? Why? What is he going to do?” Julian spoke out a series of questions.

Julian acted like this not only because it was Nina’s son but because he would go crazy if any boy gave his daughter a gift.

He was aware of the “bad” intentions and became hostile to Jamarion.

Emelia felt at a loss about him and hurriedly warned him by touching, “Why are you so excited? Don’t make her nervous.”

Alaric said in the back of the car, “He just gave her a coffee cup and hoped she would take good care of herself. I think it is a kind of courtesy.”

Alaric didn’t think Jamarion had bad intentions, and he was three years younger. He only reckoned that his father just thought too much.

A bit exaggerating.

Surly.

Alana also had the same idea as Alaric. She thought the cup was merely a blessing. She always treated Jamarion as her younger brother.

Julian heard that Jamarion gave her a cup and said, “He just gave you a cup. Why should you give him the set of books?”

“And he focuses on science projects. You give him economics books. Will he read it?”

Alana explained, “I choose the books as a gift because he does scientific research. He can read some books in a different field. In addition, I have read it for times and remembered all the knowledge. It’s OK to give him.”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

And she added, “And I don’t know what else I can give. He lacks nothing.”

Emelia nodded and said, “Well. It’s reasonable. Other presents might make him get the wrong idea, isn’t it?”

As Emelia spoke, Julian thought it a reasonable gift.

Then he said, “OK. Just give him.”

After they arrived home, Julian still felt uncomfortable. He asked Emelia to phone Nina via video call and said, “What is your son trying to do?”

Nina rolled her eyes in the video and replied, “What do you think? He’s only a child.”

Julian snorted curtly. He didn’t believe Nina at all. Although Jamarion was young, he was smart enough to enter university.

Nina vowed solemnly, “I swear. He just wishes for Alana to be fine.”

Just a swear. Julian was such a tough guy. It was good to relax his vigilance.

Nina then said, “Stop thinking about that. It’s nothing to happen. What if it really comes true because of your fancy?”

“Just shut up.” Julian no longer wanted to hear her nonsense and returned the phone to Emelia. The two lady friends began to have small talk and then ended the conversation.

When the call was over, Nina paced back and forth in her bedroom and then knocked at the door of her son.

At this moment, her excellent and beautiful son was reading, leaning against the head of his bed. There was a pair of silver-rimmed glasses on his nose bridge. Nina tut-tutted in mind. Again, a “pretentious” gentleman.

She leaned against the door lazily and spoke, “My dear son, if I remember correctly, a few days ago, you stayed in the porcelain house all day long and make a cup, didn’t you?”
