George would have planned to leave to persuade Jack to stay with him. He hadn’t expected to see his grandson showing great attention to Alice as he left the studio.
Besides, he thought his grandfather had proposed to do something with his wife!
“Am I such an unreasonable old man?” he thought.
At the sound of George’s voice, Kennedy raised his head. He saw Jorge’s disgruntled eyes.
He pursed his thin lips without answering him.
Probably because of the things Jorge had done in the company, which left a deep impression on Kennedy, therefore, he felt it would embarrass Alice.
-Jorge, you have other things to do, don’t you? -Alice broke the deadlock at that moment.
Having been reminded, it suddenly occurred to Jorge that he had other important things. He looked around and saw Jack standing not far away. With joy on his face, he took a step forward towards him.
Soon, Jorge walked toward Jack and stood before him. He stepped forward to greet him, -Be careful, great-grandfather.
-Jack, I have something to ask you. Would you like to talk to me somewhere else?
The boy blinked and unconsciously raised his head to look at his uncle, Zain.
The man nodded his head slightly.
-Okay. Let’s go,” after saying that, Jack took the initiative to take Jorge’s hand. The two walked in another direction.
Seeing that they left, Raquel gave a glance to Zain, -Are you not worried about letting Jack go with him? Aren’t you afraid that your sister will settle accounts with you?
Zain looked indifferent, -The one who took him is Jack’s great-grandfather, what score is Alice going to settle with me?
Raquel sneered with her arms folded in front of her chest without answering him.
-Raquel. Zain.
When Jack was brought in, Alice brought Kennedy in as well and they called them both in.
They both nodded, but at that moment, Raquel suddenly noticed a box in Alice’s hand, which looked particularly exquisite. She had not seen it in her hand when she entered the studio.
Did she…
-Alice, what’s in your hand? -Raquel couldn’t help but ask aloud.
Hearing it, Alice lowered her head looking at the box, -I got it from Jorge in the studio recently and he said it’s … a housewarming gift.
-A housewarming gift? -Raquel arched her eyebrows in surprise. She chuckled, -What kind of gift did he give you?
Alice shook her head, “I don’t know. I haven’t opened it yet.
-Then open it now. It’s very delicate, the design of this box. Maybe it’s something good? -said Rachel jokingly.
Zain and Kennedy heard this and their eyes fell on the box.
To tell the truth, they were curious.
For everyone, it was always obvious Jorge’s attitude towards Alice, so they were all very curious to know what kind of gift Jorge would give her that time.
Alice would have wanted to open it when she had time to come back, but at that time Raquel suggested so. It would be inappropriate if she didn’t open it, so she nodded and did so slowly. The box had such a clever design that it could not be opened directly. There were some small organs that had to be opened before the lid.
Alice was a designer. Although she designed clothes, she possessed a great talent in designing. So even though she was a little confused at first, she opened it easily after studying it.
When she managed to open it, a flash suddenly appeared before everyone.
A blue diamond necklace was observed lying silently in the box.
At the sight of it, everyone’s expression changed except Alice.
Rachel, in particular, after noticing it, was instantly amazed and her eyes grew large.
Under the light, the blue diamond lingered with a faint blue glow, like a dream, like the endless sea, and like the vast starry sky of the universe, so beautiful that one could not move one’s eyes.
Alice’s calm face also changed a little when she contemplated it a little. Her mouth opened slightly.
Even if she had not seen it, she investigated it and discovered the uniqueness. Besides, the value of such a large diamond … Would definitely be much higher than he had imagined.
That… that was…
Suddenly, Alice felt the box she was holding become heavy, so heavy she could barely hold it.
-The heart of the universe.
Zain, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly said four words aloud.
Alice looked at him and Kennedy agreed at that moment, -Yes. That’s it.
The heart of the universe?
Did they give it such a magnificent name?
Alice felt a little strange, though. Why did such a name have such a beautiful necklace?
Was there some special meaning?
Rachel examined it. Tears gradually appeared in her eyes and she was a little emotional.
-It seems that Rachel is very familiar with this necklace,” Zain looked at her and turned his attention to his aunt, waiting for her to answer the questions.
When everyone fixed their gaze on her, she came to her senses. She held back the tears that remained in her sockets and then smiled slightly, -Yes, I know it very well. Very well…
He thought for a while, probably pondering how to speak.
A few minutes later, he said directly, -Before my mother died, this diamond necklace had belonged to her. It was a gift the old man gave her, a favorite in her life. But… when she became ill, he gave it to my sister, telling her that he didn’t want such a beautiful diamond to be tainted by illness.
Speaking of which, Rachel paused and then continued, -So, strictly speaking, it should be my sister’s dowry. It’s just that when we left home, she kept it and didn’t bring it, because she knew it had a very important meaning to both the old man and my mother. So … even if she was very angry, she couldn’t take something so meaningful with her. After we left, it was left with the Carlos family. I didn’t expect … he kept it.
He also closed it in such a beautiful box.
Suddenly, Raquel didn’t hate Jorge so much.
At least he still knew how to keep them, which proved that he hadn’t forgotten about the past.
After hearing the story, Alice finally knew the origin of the necklace. She passed the box to Raquel for a moment, -Raquel, this is too expensive. Since it’s your sister’s, then?
She couldn’t bring herself to accept it. If she had known that the box contained something so precious, she would definitely not have accepted it.
