-What are you talking about? -Rachel glared at her. The old man gave it to you, so you can keep it safe. Don’t even think about giving it away.
-But I…
-But what? Even if it really belonged to my sister, it’s her mother-in-law. If I didn’t die, seeing that Kennedy was married and had children, I’d give you this diamond necklace as a housewarming present,” said Rachel. She paused as if remembering something. She smiled slightly, -The old man is doing this for my sister, so … he recognizes you as his grandson’s wife.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t give something so valuable to Alice.
That blue diamond necklace he had bought at auction at a very high price. Later, the old man found a skilled craftsman to create it and then named it.
The heart of the universe.
It was George’s affection for his wife.
In all the universe, she was the only one.
Rachel had groaned at the stately name when she first heard it. She felt it was not applicable. Such a beautiful necklace should not have a science fiction name.
Until later… After his mother passed away, Jorge never butterflied. Even if thousands of women pursued him, he never looked at them again.
In his heart, there was always only that one woman.
Thinking about it, Raquel snorted slyly. It wasn’t bad insight to choose a man from her mother, but George didn’t learn how to be a good father.
Alice was also surprised after hearing Raquel’s words and couldn’t recover for a long time.
Jorge handed her the necklace, did that mean he recognized her? Upon hearing the news that she and Kennedy would be returning to the country, not only was he not angry, but he also gave it to her as they were leaving?
Indeed tsundere.
Alice smiled slightly and put the box away.
It seemed that Jack had not stayed here in vain for a while. He said he took it seriously to say good words for her, and did so every day.
-Well, now that you know what it is, put it away well. It’s late already. I’m going back to the hotel first.
Then he turned and walked outside. He waved his hand to the others, “No need to see me off. I’m going back by bus.
However, Dylan stopped her shortly after she left.
-Miss Raquel, Señor Jorge hopes that… you can return with your luggage to the Carlos family.
For so many years, Raquel had never married anyone and had been alone, so she was still a member of the family and it was normal for her to return home.
Unbeknownst to her, Raquel stood up, tossed her bag aside and said coldly, -Why should I move back to the Carlos family? Dylan, I respect you and show you courtesy when I talk to you. But with this, if he wants me to move back home so badly, he should be the one to tell me himself, not you.
Dylan didn’t expect Raquel to suddenly lose her temper. He reached out his hand, touched her nose and said embarrassedly, -Miss Rachel, I too….
-Dylan, I know you mean it for him, but I’m a flesh and blood person too. There’s something that’s not so easy to get past. Okay, I’m going first. I’ll go first.
After speaking, Raquel walked straight away with her bag of graceful steps.
When she left, Dylan stood there and sighed hopelessly, shaking his head. Then he walked forward.
-Mr. Kennedy, did you want to stay the night?
-No,” Kennedy shook his head weakly. We’ll be right back. Finishing, he hugged Alice’s waist, “Let’s pick up Jack and then go home.
Jack?
Dylan was stunned for a moment, then told her, -Yes, the young gentleman asked me to tell you that he would be staying here to accompany Mr. George tonight. He’ll be back tomorrow.
Alice blinked, thinking how much the little boy, who had recently lived here, liked the place. But based on what Jorge did, it should be particularly good for Jack, so the little guy was willing to stay here.
She didn’t say much and nodded her head.
As soon as they all left together, Jack was leaning on tiptoe on the windowsill on the third floor, watching the car carrying his parents away. George couldn’t help but sigh when he saw him.
-Little boy, come to my side.
Hearing Jorge’s voice, Jack turned and ran to his side.
Great-grandfather.
-Little boy, you want to go back, don’t you? But you’re staying here for my sake.
Gone was the hope in Jack’s eyes just by looking at the car at that moment. He showed him an innocent expression, -Great-grandfather, what do you say? I’m willing to stay. You treat me super nice. Mom told me that you are very lonely, so I must accompany you often.
Hearing that, George’s eyes watered for a moment.
-You have a mother, but… I don’t want to force you. Then, if you want to come back or don’t want to stay with me anymore, I won’t force you.
He was her great-grandson, not her puppet.
In the past, she wanted to control Kennedy and felt she could make better decisions for him. But, when he looked at a little boy like Jack who knew how he felt and even paid so much for his mother, an idea occurred to him.
Love asks for nothing, which is selfless dedication. It is not selfish possession and control.
At first, his control over Rachel came from the love of being a father. He had lost his wife and his daughter had no one to teach her. So he, the father, felt he was able to create what was best for her. She didn’t like it, and would resist it because she didn’t understand her father.
Despite that, he ignored the truest feelings in his daughter’s heart.
The best, and what else would he give?
For one, only what one desires in one’s heart is the best.
Just as you give gold and silver or treasure to one who walks in the desert, does he need them?
No. What he needs is water.
At the time, George didn’t know what his daughter wanted, so he simply filled her with the things he thought were good. Then it backfired. Both daughters left him.
After so many years, they didn’t want to go back.
Looking at Jack, Jorge regretted not really having him at first.
-“Really, you didn’t force me, I’m willing to go with you,” he said.
“Lying.” Jorge thought.
The little guy was really thoughtful.
-You think I’m so old that you can’t even see things clearly? Who wants to leave their parents in the world?
Besides, Jack was raised alone by his mother. He was even more inseparable from her.
-Well, go back to them when they get back. It’ll be okay for me to stay here alone.
