My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 2442

Sean, Steve, Jane, and Sally then made their way to the couch and greeted Mr. Riddle Sr. "Hello, grandpa."

"Have a seat." Mr. Riddle Sr. invited, his tone becoming a lot gentler, and his face radiant with smiles.

After everyone had settled down, the house butler brought the welcome gifts over, of which both were charms made out of gold and jadeite. The charms themselves were green jades that had been carved into the shape of a locket. The outer rim was framed with pure gold, and the tassels, which were also forged out of 24 carat gold, were dangling below the locket, paired with chains of the same composition.

Once the gifts had been revealed, everyone was left in a state of shock. It seemed to them that the presents were prepared a while ago, and not something that anyone could simply whip out of the shelves.

"Grandpa, this gift..." Nicole paused mid-sentence, taken aback by what she had just seen.

After all, Mr. Riddle Sr. had not been privy to Nolan and Lana's existence prior to today.

"I got someone to custom make these, and they were prepared as welcome gifts for my great grandkids." Mr. Riddle Sr. said and turned to look at the rest. "When all of you have your own kids in the future, each one of them will receive one."

Mr. Riddle Sr. had been hoping for new arrivals from the next generation of the Riddle family. Therefore, he had hired a renowned jeweler to custom make these lockets a long time ago. However, not a single one of his grandkids had children of their own, and for the longest time, there were no marriages even. Because of this, Mr. Riddle Sr. was beginning to feel disappointed. He thought that he might not get any great grandchildren at all. Fortunately, God had been kind to him, and the revelation that he actually had two great grandchildren was a testament to that fact.

"Thank you, Grandpa," everyone thanked him in unison as they were touched by Mr. Riddle Sr.'s gesture of preparing them gifts even before they had kids.

"Here, I'll put them on for Nolan and Lana," Mr. Riddle Sr. said, and proceeded to put the necklaces on Nolan and Lana's necks.

"Thank you, great grandpa," the twins uttered in unison.

After Nolan and Lana had thanked him, they stared at their lockets in wonder and joy.

And once Mr. Riddle Sr. realized that everyone had arrived, he declared, "Let's eat."

"Grandpa, hold on." Nicole butted in, determined to clear the air before dinner began, as she knew the burning question was still lingering in their minds.
