Shannon continued after a pause, "Look, Grandpa. | don’t mean to say this, but that necklace is really precious
to Grandma. It carries the good memories between you and Grandma, so you can't just give it away to people. If
you want to give the couple a gift, then you can give them something else.”
Oscar sighed gently and took the jewelry box while looking at the necklace inside.
He then looked at Theo and me. "Alright now. The two of you should take your seats. I'm glad the
misunderstanding has been solved."
When Theo and | had taken our seats, he said with a smile, “It's normal for a couple to fight.”
Theo and | quickly nodded at his words.
Shannon leaned closer to my ear. "I'm surprised your iceberg of a husband is willing to humble himself."
| smiled slightly. "Yeah.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTheo's good looks and superior ability were not the only things that made him seem charming. It was also
because he was a particularly gentle and devoted person at heart. He was patient with children and respectful to
the elderly. These things made him seem attractive.
Mr. Collins looked at the necklace in the jewelry box and sighed gently. "Indeed, like what Shannon said, this
necklace shouldn't have been used as a greeting gift. But it's what my wife toldwhen she gave the necklace
to me. We've known Theo's grandpa for decades, and this necklace was a gift from him.
"Life was tough for everyone in those days. No one was willing to help us. Theo's grandpa was the only one who
didn't mind sharing food with us. The food wasn't good either. When there was no
food, we could only chew on the bark of a tree. Unlike you guys. You have nothing to worry about."
Oscar touched the necklace, his mind cast back to the old times. "This necklace was a foreign object. Theo's
grandpa got it by chance. He could have sold it and lived a life without worrying about food and clothing, but he
chose to give it to us. He told us to sell it and buy food for ourselves."
"My wife refused to. No matter how hungry we were or how tough life was, she kept it safe. When the tough days
were over, my wife found someone to repair the necklace and placed it under my car. She toldto return it to
the Grants’ daughter-in-law one day."
"Grandpa." Shannon held Mr. Collins' hands.
"I know this necklace isn’t valuable, but it has witnessed the hardships of our generation. | wish to return it to
you and hope you'll be understanding toward each other and live on no matter how tough life gets in the future.
Money won't be as precious after it reaches a certain amount. The most precious thing is the love you have for
each other.” Oscar cried after a few sentences, and he wiped his tears as he spoke.
Theo held my hand and looked at Mr. Collins, saying firmly, "We'll make the best of our lives, Mr. Collins."
Mr. Collins said so many things because he wanted to teach us to cherish the people around us and every
memory we had. This was something money could not measure.
He wanted us to stay true to ourselves in this chaotic world.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMr. Collins picked up the jewelry box, his eyes filled with longing and reluctance. " Wanda, Grandma and | are
old. We've suffered enough and enjoyed enough blessings in life. We have no regrets anymore. Take this
necklace and let it be passed down to the generations after this."
| felt a lump in my throat as | took the jewelry box while promising him, "Don’t worry, Grandpa. We'll pass it
down for generations to come.”
Mr. Collins nodded with a smile. "Good. My greatest wish is that young people like you will cherish life."
Theo put the necklace on for me. Now that everyone was happy, Mr. Collins invited all of us to eat.
After the meal, the sky was completely dark.
All of us sat in the living room drinking tea and chatting. Shannon asked, "Wanda, you mentioned toearlier
that you have important things to ask Grandpa. What is it about?"
| would have forgotten had she not mentioned it.

| looked at Mr. Collins. "I have things to ask you, Grandpa."
