Chapter 1719: Chapter 1719

"How was your trip abroad? Did you have fun?"

"It wasn’t really a trip. He went there for work." Aria said, her face lighting up with a smile as she spoke of her overseas journey with Brandon. "However, he spent his free time with me when he wasn’t working. So, I guess it was quite enjoyable."

Joanna noticed a new necklace around Aria’s neck.

It was a necklace with a small rabbit pendant studded with tiny pink diamonds that sparkled dazzlingly under the sunlight.

Aria was born in the year of the rabbit.

She had never worn any accessories around her neck before, so it was unlikely that she bought this necklace herself.

Joanna leaned in and stared at her neck: "Aria, did Brandon give you this necklace?"

Aria glanced down following Joanna’s gaze.

Even though it was just in front of her best friend, she still felt a little embarrassed.

She pursed her lips, her expression a bit shy, and gently nodded.

"Brandon has good taste." Joanna picked up the pink-diamond-studded rabbit pendant, smiled, and teased her some more. "I recall you being born in the year of the rabbit, so he gave you this rabbit pendant. I never expected someone as serious and stern as him to have such a romantic side."

"Ahem, well, it’s not exactly that." Aria blinked her eyes, looked at the pendant in Joanna’s hand, and licked her lips. She hesitated for a moment, her cheeks turning red-hot, before finally speaking softly. "He said he was born in the year of the rabbit. Since he can’t always be by my side, he gave me this necklace to represent that although he’s not with me physically, his heart is always with me."

When Aria first heard these words from Brandon, she was incredibly surprised.

It felt so unexpected.

Now, as Joanna listened, she found it even more unbelievable.

She widened her eyes, wondering if she had misheard.

"Did Brandon really say these words to you?"

My goodness, she never expected Brandon to be capable of uttering such cheesy romantic lines.

It was just too unbelievable.

Joanna tried to imagine how he would look when speaking such words to a woman but found it impossible to picture it.

It always seemed to her that men like him would never be able to speak sweet nothings.

She had been worried before that because Brandon was so old-fashioned and uninteresting, Aria would become bored and listless being with him.

It appeared now that her worries were completely unfounded.

Not only could Brandon speak romantic words, but he could also do it so sweetly and cheesily.

She really didn’t know much about the men in the Heath family.

They all seemed like those pure-hearted, aloof men who appeared to be completely detached from emotions and desires. One would think that even touching a woman would be considered blasphemy to them.

But whether it was Ashton or Brandon...

Once these two brothers were in a relationship, their love skills were automatically activated. They appeared experienced even though they had never been in a relationship before.

Ashton, in particular, still occasionally made Joanna’s heart flutter.

Maybe, all men in the Heath family were .

It wasn’t that they didn’t know how to be in relationships; they just hadn’t met the person they wanted to be with. Once they did, many things came naturally to them, and they didn’t need anyone to teach them.
