Chapter 1211

Shannon continued after a pause, "Look, Grandpa. I 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 I had taken our seats, he said with a smile, “It's normal for a couple to fight.”

Theo and I quickly nodded at his words.

Shannon leaned closer to my ear. "I'm surprised your iceberg of a husband is willing to humble

himself."

I smiled slightly. "Yeah.”

Theo'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 told me when

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 told me to 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. I 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.

Mr. Collins picked up the jewelry box, his eyes filled with longing and reluctance. " Wanda, Grandma

and I 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."

I felt a lump in my throat as I 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 to

me earlier that you have important things to ask Grandpa. What is it about?"

I would have forgotten had she not mentioned it.

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