Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1209

"What's this? It's so heavy," Chandler asked, his curiosity piqued.

"It's the weight of our lecturer's love," Helen said as she kept walking.

Chandler was left stunned.

…

As soon as Helen settled into the car, she thought about the situation with C&S Signature Jewels and resolved to be upfront with Chandler.

"Chandler," she began, turning toward him.

"Yes? What's on your mind?" Chandler responded with a warm smile, his fingers intertwined with hers.

He felt a profound sense of ease in his role as Chandler, which allowed him to be close to her and share their most intimate moments, regardless of the setting.

How could someone in love not express their feelings through such tender gestures?

Chandler wanted to be by Helen's side at every moment, cherishing her warmth, her scent, and the subtle changes in her mood.

"I need to tell you something," Helen said, her brow furrowed slightly. "I sold the gift I intended for you."

Chandler quickly understood she was referring to C&S Signature Jewels but maintained a look of feigned surprise. With a playful smile, he replied, "Well, if you plan to give me another gift, it better be twice as nice."

"You're not upset?" Helen asked, visibly surprised. She hadn't anticipated this kind of reaction from Chandler.

He remained unexpectedly calm, almost as if he had already prepared himself for this news.

"Sweetheart, how could I ever be angry with you?" Chandler said, affectionately ruffling her hair. He then gently cupped the back of her head and drew her close.

Looking into her eyes, he continued softly, "I've already been given the greatest gift of all. Anything else is just a bonus. Even without it, I'd be completely happy. As long as you're here with me, I have no reason to be upset."

"What?" Chandler replied with a knowing smile. "Are you talking about the same Otto who was rumored to have a thing with you and now wants to buy C&S Signature Jewels?"

"You knew about that?" Helen asked, her voice tinged with suspicion.

"Of course," Chandler replied with a soft chuckle. "You're my wife, so it's only natural that I stay attuned to what's going on with you. It doesn't matter what gift you choose for me.

"The fact that you named C&S Signature Jewels after me shows how much you care. I know that no matter where you are or who you're with, there's always a special place for me in your heart."

Helen's heart melted at Chandler's words. His gaze was so deep and sincere that it felt like it could draw her in completely.

It was clear that Chandler had been aware of everything from the start. Even before she spoke of it, he understood the meaning behind the gift she intended for him.

Helen was suddenly reminded of a line from a poem. "Silent as the rain that nourishes the earth."

Maybe Chandler's love was just like that—softly nurturing yet profoundly deep.
