"But I've heard that appointments for custom jewelry must be made six months in advance. So, how did you manage to customize it right before my birthday?" Tammy asked, perplexed
"I ordered this bracelet last year, but they only finished it this year."
"Huh? Is this the gift you had planned to give me last year?" Tammy was even more taken aback
"Nope. I already decided to give this to you for your eighteenth birthday last year."
Really? You've been preparing this perfect gift for me since last year? Tammy thought. Her face flushed instantly, and her heart beat like a drum
Dominic stroked her hair and gently asked, "Do you like it?"
After taking the bracelet out of the box, Tammy carefully examined it
"Are these real diamonds? This must have cost a fortune!" She asked, thinking that the gift was way too costly
"It's fine. I'm happy that you like it. Do you need me to put it on for you?"
"Thanks!"
Then Dominic placed the gleaming diamond bracelet on Tammy's delicate wrist. And the diamonds glowed brightly in the light, enhancing her skin's radiance "Tammy!" From a distance, Alicia came running towards them. As she approached them, she noticed the diamond

Dominic, you haven't given up hitting on my sister yet? She's just turned eighteen today! Thinking of that, Matthew felt depressed, as if Tammy were his daughter
"Tammy, could you go to the restroom with me? Gosh... I feel so terrible right now. I shouldn't have drunk so much champagne earlier," Alicia said as she grabbed Tammy's sleeve
"Let's go. We'll be right back, Matthew."
Matthew cast a wary glance at Dominic after the two girls had left
Then Matthew asked Dominic wearily."You can't hold back anymore, can you?
"What's the problem, Matthew? I kept my word for the last two years
I didn't hit on her until she was eighteen, and I never even told Tammy about my feelings for her. I have no reason to wait now that she is an adult
As you may have noticed, a lot of boys around her are interested in her
They'll take her away from me if I don't do something about it." Dominic smiled as if he wasn't even trying to defend himself when he said that
"Humph! Are you sure she has feelings for you? Actually, she has a lot of better options," said Matthew
"I'll do my best to show her what a
good guy I am, Look, how many young men do you think are better

asked, pointing to those young men. He then took a glass of champagne from the wajter's tray and drank it all at once. The way Dominic drank wine was elegant, and Matthew could tell he was a well-educated
young man
"Are you that confident?" Matthew asked, looking at him dismissively "I'm much more confident than you think." Dominic seized Matthew 587 Birthday Present
up with suspicion and asked, "You're not going to sabotage my relationship with Tammy, are you? You should know that your sister will grow up and start dating boys
sooner or later. I hope you won't say anything negative about me
to her."
"Do you honestly believe rd do something like that?" Matthew asked, his brow furrowed
Dominic patted Matthew on the shoulder and said, "I hope you won't
You'd know I'm a nice guy if you get to know me better. Besides, I'm just as wealthy as you are. Don't you think I'd be the ideal person for Tammy to date?"
"I don't think so," Matthew replied coldly
"I could help you expand your business to London," Dominic thought for a moment before saying
"You don't have to do that. In my family, we never sacrifice anyone's happiness for profit. My parents and I just want her to be happy."
"Fine. If she becomes my girlfriend, I'll make her the happiest girl on the planet.
"Are you serious?" Matthew asked
"Without a doubt. I haven't dated any of the girls in the last two years because I really like Tammy," Dominic said. He even put away his smile and wore an anxious expression when he said that "When will you tell her who you really are, Dominic Deleon?" Matthew asked. He said Dominic's full name aloud on purpose, trying to provoke him
"You didn't tell her? I knew you'd looked into me, so I assumed you'd told her long ago. I never intended to keep it from you."
"You should tell her yourself," Matthew said
"Maybe."

childhood pictures. At the same net

Suddenly, there was a shout from the ballroom's entrance. Many people walked out to see what was going on. Then someone yelled, "Oh no! Something happened in the restroom!" Dominic and Matthew exchanged glances before running fast towards the restroom
"Ah!"
Yet, before they even got to the restroom, they heard someone screaming. At that critical moment, Matthew felt his heart skip a beat
