His Domineering Lover
Chapter 620

Seeing her wet hair, Adam got up and gave her a dry towel. "You're doing it again."

"I'm used to you drying my hair." Tracey chuckled and sat down on the sofa, letting him dry her hair.

She was really not used to it when he was away. It was like a guy who was used to steak had to eat carrots every day.

Adam had been taking good care of her like her housekeeper. Without him, it was like losing her phone.

It felt so good to see him again. They made love all night long. Adam had work to do the next day, so she offered to go out on her own.

It wasn't her first trip abroad, but he told her to take an assistant with her.

When he left, she was still sleeping. The moment she woke up, it was already ten o'clock in the morning. The hickeys on her showed how crazy they were last night.

Tracey refused the assistant and took the city tour bus herself. She had long wanted to travel freely in an unfamiliar country.

Dressed simply and without makeup, she enjoyed the sights like a common tourist.

From time to time, she would send her selfies to Adam. Adam, who was having a meeting, got excited when he saw these beautiful photos. He wanted to travel with her and take lots of pictures of her.

When the project was officially launched and she graduated from college, he would marry her and take her on a honeymoon.

Tracey went alone to the Colosseum. Those magnificent buildings were announcing to the world that this place was once prosperous and magnificent.

When the sun was about to set, she was attracted by an antique store. All the antiques came from China.

A Chinese antique store in Rome? For some reason, she walked in.

It was decorated in a very old-fashioned way. The clerk greeted her. "Miss, what can I do for you?"

"I just want to browse."

Tracey didn't intend to buy anything. She was just a little interested in this store.

Most of the antiques here predated the Qing dynasty in China. "This one is beautiful." Tracey pointed to the red jade bracelet placed on the exhibition shelf. Red jade was rare. Green jade was mostly seen on the market.

"Miss, you have a good taste. This bracelet is bright and is made of the finest jade. But a lot of people don't like it because they think red means unlucky." The clerk took out the bracelet and said, "Miss, have a try. It has been here for a long time, and no one wants it."

Tracey did not want it, either. But she was embarrassed to say no, so she wore the bracelet on her wrist.

Aydan had given her a supreme bracelet as a gift, but she seldom wore that. She found that she preferred this red jade bracelet.

The red jade made her look whiter. The clerk said, "Miss, it looks good on you."

"This must be aged." Tracey looked at the bracelet. It must have been made many years ago.

"Looks like you're the expert. Well, everything we have here is aged. China went to wars after the fall of the Qing Dynasty.

"Some prominent families quietly left China to escape the war and went elsewhere.

"Some fled to Southeast Asian countries, others to the United States or Europe. Although they were loaded, it was difficult for them to survive in a foreign country. Gradually, they declined.

"In order to survive, their descendants started selling things. That's where most of our stuff comes from.

"Miss, why don't you buy it? Maybe it comes from your family." The clerk gave a mysterious smile.

Tracey smiled. "That's impossible."

"Miss, I'm not saying that to sell it. This place used to be a pawnshop, and what we want most is to return these things to their rightful owners.

"Some people pawned their favorite things because they had to. We see ourselves as keepers, and we hope the owners will be able to redeem them.

"Everything has a spirit. This jade bracelet has been here for hundreds of years. My grandpa said no one ever wanted it.

"But you had your eye on it as soon as you walked in. Isn't it a connection?" The clerk said gently.

"Well, I do like this bracelet. How much is it?" Tracey decided to buy it.

"In today's market, that would be the price." The clerk pressed a number on her calculator.

This price was kind of high. But Tracey worked in the jewelry industry, and she thought this bracelet was worth it.

The jade bracelet was still on her wrist. She didn't even want to take it off.

Although the jade bracelet that Aydan had given her was more valuable, she only saw that as a work of art.

This bracelet seemed to mean something to her. It had her at hello.

She rarely had anything she liked so much. Maybe it was indeed a connection, or it came from her family.

She paid the bill and left with the jade bracelet.

After Tracey left, the clerk went to the inner room. "Boss, she bought that red jade bracelet."

"After all these years, it finally happened..." The man sighed softly.

Tracey returned to the hotel. Adam rushed back and said, "I'm sorry. I said I'd have dinner with you, but I was too busy."

"It doesn't matter. I just came back."

"How's your day?" Adam took her out for dinner, and she shared with him the bracelet thing.

"Hey, is it beautiful?"

"Red jade?" Adam saw at a glance that it was a red jadeite of excellent quality. "You like this?"

"Not really. I just thought it was kind of familiar."

"Well, it's getting late. Let's have dinner."

"Sure."
