Chapter 87
Gwyneth wasn’t intimidated and pouted exaggeratedly. “Liam, don’t you trust me? Harrison and I picked those flowers don’t like them, we’ll just send them all to my place.”
lly for you. If you
“Since it’s for me, how could you intercept it?” Liam was genuinely amused by her playful demeanor and gently tapped her head.
He continued, “I’m looking forward to seeing more flowers in the garden. If you and Harrison are deceiving me, you’ll see how I’ll deal with you
Two.”
Whatever you say,” Gwyneth responded, smiling even brighter as she moved closer to charm Liam further.
In just a short time, she had Liam laughing heartily, leaving Clyde in awe.
Clyde thought. Mr. Liam Lopez is famously hard to placate, yet Ms. Jenkins managed to do it with a bit of sweet talk and charm! “Is this the power of Mrs. Lopea?”
“Go order those flowers, Harrison instructed Clyde, a faint smile on his face, though he didn’t even glance at him.
Clyde’s mouth twitched slightly as he hurried off to complete the task.
The living room was filled with the sounds of laughter.
After a while, Gwyneth noticed the time and, worried that Liam might be hungry, got up to ask the kitchen, but Liam stopped her. “Come here.” Gwyneth insisted, I need to check on the kitchen first. You’ve just finished recovering you shouldn’t go hungry
Though she could joke and make Liam happy, she couldn’t begleet taking care of practical matters.
Liam’s eyes sparkled as he pulled her to sit down and handed her an ornate box. This is my wife Susan’s jewelry, passed down through generations
When Gwyneth opened the box, she saw that the set of jewelry, did indeed look old, but gold and jade don’t age. The carefully crafted pieces were timeless and incredibly valuable, having been passed down from Harrison’s grandmother.
It’s a pity she didn’t live to see Harrison get married and left us early. This jewelry should have been given to you sooner, but I wanted to keep seeing you, which is why I waited so long.
“Now, it’s time for it to return to its rightful owner. Liam pushed the box into her hands.
Gwyneth shook her head repeatedly. “I can’t take this; it’s too precious. Besides, her marriage to Harrison was arranged for business purposes without any real affection involved. She couldn’t accept something so meaningful.
As she hesitated to decline, Harrison stopped her. “Accept it, it’s a gesture from Grandpa and Grandma.”
She hesitated, “but
Harrison insisted, “You deserve it. Put it on and show Grandpa.
With Liam’s wrinkled hand and Harrison’s defined one, they together placed the heavy box into her arms. It felt as if they were passing not just heirlooms but a legacy of love and expectations through time.
Gwyneth’s eyes reddened with emotion. She no longer refused and took out a jade bracelet, wearing it on her wrist.
Liam’s eyes glistened with tears as he in
turned away.
Just as Gwyneth was about to express her gratitude, a woman’s voice interrupted. This is what Susan Ich for Emily, and it’s just handed over to the younger generation like this!”
Gwyneth turned to see a regal woman standing there, with Adrian behind her. This was Betty, Adrian’s mother and Lance’s wife.
Betty’s eyes flickered with hints of jealousy. Outwardly, however, she respectfully exchanged pleasantries with Liam alongside Adrian
When it was time for dinner, Betty affectionately took Gwyneth’s arm as they headed to the dining room. Passing a row of cabinets, Betty noticed how close Gwyneth’s jude bracelet was to the edge of a cabinet. Suddenly, she slipped,
“Oh dear!” she exclaimed. The next moment, Cwyneth’s jade bracelet was headed straight for the edge of the cabinet
