Chapter 10: Call Me Jack

Linda took a shallow breath, "Elizabeth, you're so thoughtful."

"You're welcome."

"Aren't you going to wear it?"

Elizabeth looked at her calmly, with her eyes clear as they focused on Linda's wrist.

Linda glanced at the cheap bracelet and then at her expensive outfit.

Is this even a match?

"Try it on, Linda. The bracelet looks really good and is very versatile," Sophia said, praising without reservation.

Linda reluctantly put on the cheap bracelet. If her friends saw it, they would laugh at her for lowering her standards.

Watching Linda tie the bracelet, the bells rang with every movement and Elizabeth's lips curved up slightly.

"I have a gift for Zane, too. I'll give it to him later."

Sir and Lady Wilson didn't make much of it, thinking Elizabeth was just delivering gifts casually.

The bracelet Elizabeth gave was indeed very practical. The ringing of the bells would always capture the attention of her family.

She felt speechless.

She couldn't take it anymore!

At noon, she took the opportunity to remove the bracelet and throw it in the trash.

Oh, at last!

Later when she went downstairs to drink water, she was caught by Elizabeth.

"Why aren't you wearing it? Don't you like it?"

Sophia then looked at her reproachfully, forcing her to go back upstairs, dig it out from the trash, and put it back on.

Linda was tormented by the sound of the bell.

She secretly threw it away several more times.

"If you don't like it, don't force yourself."

Linda was speechless.

"Do you really not like it?"

Linda was truly speechless.

Elizabeth's dark eyes just quietly watched her; it was honestly a bit creepy.

After several such incidents, Linda felt worn out.

In the evening, Jack saw that Linda was not in the best mood and asked, "What's wrong?"

Linda hesitated, "I really like the bracelet, but wearing it all the time interferes with my studies. Yet, I don't want to upset Elizabeth; it's already happened several times today."

She lamented, "I don't know how it always happens to be so coincidental; Elizabeth always seems to catch me at these moments."

A thought flashed through Jack's mind; Was Elizabeth making things difficult for Linda?

But he soon felt ashamed for even thinking such a thing about his own sister.

"Elizabeth is just concerned whether you really like it. She's still a bit insecure since she's just returned. She fears we may not fully accept her."

Linda smiled, "I thought so too, which is why I didn't dare get too close to Mom and Dad today."

Jack frowned, "I'm sorry you had to go through this. If there's a bracelet you like, let me know; I'll gift it to you."

Linda's eyes twinkled, "Jack, why do you still treat me like a kid, always buying me gifts to make me happy?"

"Because you're my sister."

Jack lovingly ruffled her hair and said after a moment of thought, "Just keep wearing the bracelet for now. Take it off after a few days when Elizabeth stops paying attention to it."

Linda felt helpless.

How much longer did she have to endure the sound of the bell?

Late at night, after Jack had finished his work and was about to go upstairs, he saw Elizabeth coming down with a cup of milk. Her exquisite face was as cold as ever, but those deep eyes oddly made her seem cute.

Jack couldn't help but smile, "Elizabeth, go to bed early."

Elizabeth looked at him and she was still indifferent.

Jack extended his hand, wanting to playfully ruffle her hair.

But she dodged.

His hand froze in mid-air, somewhat awkward.

He didn't expect Elizabeth to dodge him and hesitated before retracting his hand. Remembering something that had been bothering him since morning, he cleared his throat, "Elizabeth, you've never called me 'Jack.'"

He softly coaxed, "I really want to hear it."
