"Great! Mommy, I'll have a wife soon." The boy's father gave him a flick on his head again.
Tracey hesitated. "Are you sure? This jade looks very valuable."
"If you don't take it, you'll become a liar with a long nose." Avery pouted.
Tracey liked Avery very much, but she still couldn't decide.
But she also knew that the boy would raise hell if she refused again.
She rubbed the diamond ring on her fingers that Adam bought her and asked him, "Adam, can I?"
Adam immediately understood. She wanted to exchange the ring with that pendant. Then it would even. He nodded, "Of course."
So Tracey took off her ring and handed it to the boy.
"Take this as a present from the baby. Wear it when you come to her in the future."
The boy's parents were surprised. They could tell the ring was priceless.
The man said coldly, "Avery, you can't take it."
"Daddy, it's a token of love. I'll keep it carefully."
"Miss, this ring must mean much to you. Avery is just a kid. He shouldn't take it." The woman said.
"That jade lock is expensive too. I know it looks ridiculous but perhaps our kids are destined to meet each other in the future."
"Exactly. Please tell the baby my name is Avery, A-V-E-R-Y, Avery." Avery enunciated every syllable.
"Okay, I promise you."
They exchanged cards and the boy's mother also asked about the due date for the baby.
Things went oddly formal given that the baby wasn't born yet.
Avery finished the cotton candy on Tracey's hand before leaving. "Goodbye. I'll call you when the baby is born."
"Goodbye."
"What a lovely boy," Tracey said delightedly.
"Our kid will be more lovely."
"I agree." She smiled and looked down at the jade lock in her hand, "I can't believe they gave it to me so casually. It looks like an heirloom."
"You call that casually? The boy insisted and apparently he wouldn't let you go until you accept it." Adam said resignedly.
"Adam, am I stupid to take it seriously? The boy will forget about it within days."
"It seems that you've forgotten how we met. Didn't
I wait for you for so many years? No one knows the future."
"Right. Keep this lock for me." Tracey handed the lock to Adam.
