Chapter 371 The Wedding Anniversary
The guest room was specially prepared by Anderson.
The room was not large, only about a hundred square meters, but its décor was very exquisite. The most important thing was, the room was specially made for the couple.
Whether it was the transparent bathroom, or the rose petals and candles that could be seen everywhere, romance was in the air.
Anderson cut the steak on the plate and placed it in front of Clarissa. He then took the plate in front of her and cut it.
Since they had similar tastes, they ordered the same food. Clarissa took it and grabbed a bite of the steak.
"Anderson, it's rare for you to be in such a relaxing mood. Why did you bring me here?"
Anderson, who was cutting the steak, lifted his eyelids and glanced at her.
"You don't know?"
Clarissa was slightly stunned. "What should I know?"
Anderson put on a helpless expression as if he had already expected her reaction.
Clarissa was a little confused. Then, she saw him suddenly put down cutlery. He took out a red gift box from the bottom of the table next to him.
"Honey, happy 1st anniversary!"
Clarissa was completely stunned.
1st year anniversary?
Cough!
Hearing his words, she was almost choked on the steak in her mouth. She coughed a few times before staring at Anderson incredulously with wide eyes.
"You said that today is our first wedding anniversary?"
The expression on Anderson's face was a little stiff.
After a few seconds of silence, he asked with a smile, "What do you think?"
Clarissa was speechless.
Now, she finally realized what was going on.
No wonder he was acting so strange today.
Not only did Anderson purposely ask her to keep him company for the day, he had even dragged her back to change into a new set of clothes just to go out with him.
He had even booked such a romantic couple's room, and the red wine...
It turned out to be their first wedding anniversary!
At this moment, Clarissa could only feel that she was in an extremely miserable state.
She didn't think that her memory was bad. Moreover, she was not even pregnant, so it was not possible for her to suffer from poor memory out of pregnancy. When did her memory become so bad?
She couldn't even remember the day they got married.
Clarissa laughed awkwardly. "I'm sorry... I... I don't know today is... I forgot to prepare a gift, but I can make it up to you tomorrow!"
Upon saying that, even she herself felt guilty about it!
It was their anniversary! It only happened once a year. It was not the same anymore if it was celebrated the next day!
Then, she silently criticized him in her mind.
He had already known about it, but he didn't remind her, leaving her in such an awkward situation now. He was really...
Anderson forced a smile and tugged at the corner of his mouth. "It's alright. You can open it first and see if you like it or not."
Clarissa looked at the red gift box on the table and swallowed her saliva.
After taking another look at Anderson, she was certain that although Anderson's smile was fake, he did not seem to be angry. Only then did she reach out her hand and carefully open the box.
Inside the red gift box, there was a black silk cloth, on which lay a jade bracelet.
Clarissa's eyes lit up.
"Wow, it is so beautiful!"
Anderson looked at her deeply. "Do you like it?"
"I like it!"
Jadeite of top-notch quality was already rare. Moreover, judging from the color of the bracelet in front of her, the color was even better than the one she had seen at the auction.
Clarissa was the type of woman who was elegant and aloof. Ordinary jewelry would not serve as a foil to her temperament.
If other young girls wore jade jewelry, it would look old on them. In contrast, Clarissa looked elegant and graceful wearing it, which was pleasing to the eye.
Therefore, Clarissa didn't like gold or diamond. She only liked jade.
Anderson showed a satisfied expression after he saw that she liked it.
"I'm glad that you like it. Come on, I'll help you put it on."
Clarissa quickly stretched out her hand. Anderson took the bracelet and put it on her wrist.
The bracelet complemented her fair complexion perfectly, which made her look breathtakingly beautiful.
Anderson felt a rare feeling that he could not control while holding her hand and seeing how beautiful she was.
"Clarissa."
"What's that?"
Clarissa was still looking down at the bracelet on her wrist, so she responded to him without looking at him.
Anderson said in a deep voice, "You've already received your gift. What about mine?"
Clarissa was stiff all over.
She looked up at Anderson and smiled awkwardly.
"Erm... Didn't I just say it? I forgot."
"Oh, it means that I don't have a gift tonight."
Anderson pulled his hand back as he spoke. There was a hint of disappointment written all over his face.
Clarissa couldn't bear it anymore. Anderson was good-looking. Clarissa was used to seeing his gentle and calm self, seeing the way he talked and laughed, or the cold and serious expression on him when he was mapping things out.
But she had never seen him in such a pitiful state.
Clarissa couldn't take it anymore and said hurriedly, "I promise you, I'll find a way to make it up to you tomorrow. Don't be angry, okay?"
Anderson forced a smile at her.
"I'm not angry."
Clarissa was speechless.
"I'm just a little upset. It's okay, continue eating. Don't worry about me."
As he said that, Anderson continued to cut the steak on his plate.
Clarissa's heart almost broke when she saw that. At this time, she had no time to care about anything else. She quickly got up and ran towards him before hugging him from behind.
"I'm sorry, honey. I was wrong. I promise I will never forget it again. I'm serious. Will you forgive me this time?"
Clarissa wrapped her arms around his body from behind, so she didn't see the flash of a smile on his face.
Anderson continued to put on a disappointed expression and said, "Oh, so we'll just forget about it this time?"
Clarissa was in a dilemma.
"Alas! It's not easy to coax my husband. I need help!"
After thinking for a while, she ran her hands over her body to search for something. Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she found something.
"In fact, I did prepare something today but I was afraid that you didn't like it, so I didn't dare to take it out."
Anderson raised his eyebrows. "What is it?"
Clarissa quickly let go of him, walked to his front, and took out a bracelet made of red rope from her pocket.
Anderson was speechless.
This bracelet was too simple. It was so plain-looking that it didn't seem like a gift.
It was a red rope used to form a circular pattern with a golden bead. On the bead, there were words engraved on it.
Anderson almost threw the bracelet out of the window.
He stared at Clarissa with a sinister smile on his face. "This is the anniversary gift you prepared for me?"
Clarissa smiled coquettishly and looked at him expectantly. "Yes, I did it myself. You see, I did something different here. Isn't it very pretty? You could tell that I've spent a lot of effort in making it."
The smile on Anderson's face grew even more gruesome.
