Sophia hummed a song as she skipped down the stairs, holding something in her hands.
Sitting on the sofa, Dylan called out to her, “Why are you so happy?”
With a grin on her face, Sophia quickly walked toward him. “Grandma gave me something good.”
“If she’s the one giving it to you, it’s definitely a good thing then. Your grandma keeps a lot of good
things.” William looked at Sophia and smiled.
As if she was offering a treasure, Sophia went over and opened the velvet box to show everyone the
gift.
Inside lay a jade pendant. It was emerald green and had a perfect, crystal clear appearance.
William was taken aback.
Sophia actually didn’t know much about these kinds of things, but she did know that jade was a
precious gemstone. Since it was given by Old Mrs. Constance, it must be priceless.
Mrs. Constance was not around. After being humiliated at the dining table just now, she had gone
upstairs to rest.
Smacking his lips, William was thinking about something. If my wife sees this, she’ll probably be mad
again.
After staring at it for a while, William said, “This jade pendant was a token of love given to your
grandma when your grandpa was young.”
Mrs. Constance had longed for it and wished to own it for the longest time.
However, Old Mrs. Constance considered it one of her most treasured possessions and refused to give
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtit away.
William’s words shocked Sophia. Her eyes widened to the size of dinner plates.
This thing is so meaningful, yet Old Mrs. Constance was willing to give it to me. Isn’t it a bit
inappropriate?
At first, she had been really happy, but after listening to what William said, she suddenly felt that she
should not accept the pendant.
Hearing the commotion, John and Isabelle walked over together.
This was John’s first time seeing the pendant before, so he stared at it and said, “Oh, so this is what
Grandpa gave Grandma in the past.”
“I didn’t know that this is such a precious jade pendant.” Sophia nodded as she got a little
embarrassed. “I guess I’ll return it to Grandma. I really thought it is just an ordinary piece of jade.”
Just then, Young Master Owen spoke up, “Ah, you don’t have to return it. After all, it will be passed on
to you in the future. Since she has given it to you now, you should just keep it. There is nothing wrong
with keeping it.”
Upon glancing at the jade, Sophia looked up at John again.
John had also been staring at the pendant for several seconds before he said, “Keep it. It will be yours
in the future anyway. There is nothing wrong with getting it earlier.”
Upon hearing that, Sophia hummed and replied, “T-Then I will keep it first.”
I’ll return it to John after I go back home.
I can’t keep this as a gift!
After closing the box, Sophia carefully put it into her bag, while Isabelle was looking at her back with a
stoic face.
She had heard Mrs. Constance talk about that jade pendant before.
Being a rather gossipy woman, Mrs. Constance had considered Isabelle as one of her own, so she was
willing to tell her everything.
Accordingly, Old Mrs. Constance owned a jade pendant, which was given to her by Old Mr. Constance
when they were young.
Mrs. Constance really wanted to have it, so she kept hinting at it, but Old Mrs. Constance never gave it
to her.
The jade pendant, as she described, was emerald green and had an interesting pattern of a dragon
spiraling around a pillar.
Isabelle remembered how she had comforted Mrs. Constance at the time by saying that Old Mrs.
Constance probably wanted to keep such a precious thing with her forever.
Maybe she would only pass it down to the next generation after she reached a hundred years old.
Isabelle told Mrs. Constance not to worry as this pendant would be hers sooner or later.
At that time, Mrs. Constance had even said with a smile that when she got it, she would pass it to
Isabelle in the future when she herself grew old.
Isabelle was quite happy at that time.
However, beyond anyone’s expectation, Old Mrs. Constance had casually given this pendant to
Sophia.
Even if it was to be passed down, it should have been given to Mrs. Constance first.
As Sophia put the box away carefully, she let out a sigh of relief.
