Chapter 11 - The First Christmas After Our Reunion, Garrett Gave Me No Diamond—Only the One Gift I Had Wanted for Seven YearsChristmas arrived.
The twins decorated the tree.
Garrett cooked.
Badly.
I laughed.
“You're burning it.”
“I know.”
“You're a billionaire.”
“I can't cook.”
The twins laughed.
After dinner, Garrett gave me a small box.
Inside was a key.
“What is this?”
“The house.”
I stared.
“It's yours.”
“All of it?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“You built a life without me.”
“I know.”
“You don't need my money.”
“I don't.”
He smiled.
“I wanted you to have a place that belongs to you.”
I looked at him.
“What about you?”
“I'll stay if you want me.”
I cried.
Not because of the house.
Because he finally understood.
He couldn't buy his way back.
He could only offer.
May you like
I hugged him.
For the first time in years.
