NovelBookChapter 45 Don't Test My Patience! Heirloom? Old Master Firth gave her the heirloom? Nancy's eyes almost welled up with tears. The bracelet in her hand felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, making her almost breathless.
Overwhelmed by emotion, she struggled to speak, managing only two words that escaped her lips, "Grandpa..." "All right, all right." Old Master Firth waved his hand at them, "Charlie can take an opportunity to put it on for you in person. It's getting late. You should go back home." Holding the bracelet, Nancy wanted to say something, but Charlie already pulled her away.
They had taken quite a few steps away when Nancy turned back to see Old Master Firth. He still stood there, smiling at them.
If only he were her real grandfather...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNancy sorrowfully turned her head back, reluctant to part with this beloved old man.
If only...
But there were no ifs in this world.
In the car, Nancy gazed on the bracelet in the box. The bracelet was very beautiful, emitting a green glow under the light. It was cold to the touch, but it warmed Nancy's heart. But how could she take the Firth family's heirloom? She bit her lip hard, as if making a decision. She closed the box and handed it to Charlie, "Here." Charlie frowned, both hands on the wheel, not taking it, "It's given to you by grandpa. You can keep it." "But I..." The mere thought of her leaving Charlie and the Firth family in two days was so unbearably painful causing her eyes to turn red.
Nancy didn't want Charlie to see it. She turned her face to the window, "You do know that I'm not Vivian. I can't take this." Charlie glanced at her and pushed the box away with his hand, "This's given to you by grandpa, not to Vivian. Just keep it." Nancy turned her head back. She still tried to return the box. But Charlie was displeased.
"Just keep it if I say so. Don't test my patience!" Nancy's hand froze in air, then she drew it back.
Fine, she would wait till she left to give it back to him.
Along the way, Nancy remained silent, gazing out the window in the worst mood.
After returning hand washing up, Nancy lay down directly on the sofa. She didn't even earn her massage fee from Charlie tonight.
Charlie looked at Nancy who hid herself in the quilt for a long while. He said nothing, then lay down to sleep. The next day was Monday, Nancy had classes and left early.
