Chapter Nineteen Teaser
“Did you like your Christmas present?” she asked.
Lizzie furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. “Present? What do you mean?”
Georgie, now, look confused as she mentioned hesitantly, “The necklace from Will. He said that you looked absolutely lovely when you were it to Charlie’s Netherfield Gala.”
Widening her eyes, Lizzie’s jaw slightly dropped as she shifted her gaze to across the room. She stared at Darcy who was talking to her uncle on a loveseat, presumably about the differences in the economy between England and United States. Lizzie looked back to Gigi, absolutely rendered speechless.
Darcy bought that necklace for me? Lizzie thought, as her fingers automatically went to her neck, where the necklace had been adorned the night of the Netherfield Gala.
“That’s why he asked about the necklace,” she whispered as she spared another glance at Darcy, who was now looking in her direction. She quickly turned her head, her face flushing from the embarrassment at being caught. Now, all she wanted to know was more about that necklace.
