"What are you talking about?" Abigail glared at Minerva. "The old man gave it to you, just accept it."
"But I..."
"But what? Even if this belonged to my sister, she's still your mother-in-law. If she was here and saw that Maddox is married and even has a kid, she would also give you this necklace." As she said that, Abigail looked as though she had recalled something and smiled faintly, "My father is probably doing this on behalf of Aurora which means... he has acknowledged you as his granddaughter-in-law."
Otherwise, he would not have given Minerva such a precious gift.
The diamond was bought at a high price in an auction. Jarold hired a designer to fashion it into a necklace and even gave it a name.
The Cosmic Heart.
The necklace was a symbolism of Jarold's heart for his wife.
She was the only one for Jarold in the entire universe.
When Abigail first heard it she roasted him for giving the necklace a sci-fi name that didn't match its aesthetic.
But later... After her mother passed away, Jarold never remarried. Although many women tried to get close to him, he had never spared them a glance before.
He only had his wife in his heart.
Abigail snorted in her heart as she thought about how her mother had good taste in man. However, Jarold didn't know how to be a good father.
Minerva was surprised to hear Abigail's words. It took her a long time to snap out of the shock.
Did Jarold give her the necklace as an acknowledgment? Not only did he not become upset when he heard Maddox and her were leaving the country, he even gave her a necklace before they left?
As expected, it was because of his pride.
Minerva smiled softly and kept the box.
It seemed that Beanie had indeed helped her out when he stayed here a few days. He probably praised and talked good things about her to Jarold.
"Well, now that you know what it is, keep it safe. It's getting late. I'll go back to the hotel first."
Abigail said.
Then Abigail turned and walked out while waving to the others. "You don't have to see me off. I can go back by myself."
But Baldrick stopped her before she could walk far.
"Miss Abigail, the master hopes... you can bring your luggage back to the Collins family."
Abigail had never married after so many years. She was always by herself so it was completely normal for her to move back home.
Abigail however, stopped, flung her bag to one side, and said coldly, "Why should I move back to Collins family? Baldrick, I respect you and let you talk to me casually, but if he really wants me to come back home, he should be the one to talk to me, instead of asking you to do it for him."
Baldrick did not expect that Abigail would suddenly lose her temper. He touched his nose awkwardly and said, "Miss Abigail, I am also..."
"Baldrick, I know you're doing this for his sake, but I'm also human. Some things aren't so easy to let go of. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
After that, Abigail took her bag and walked away.
Baldrick sighed helplessly and shook his head, then walked up to Maddox.
"Mr. Sebastian, will all of you be staying the night?"
"No," Maddox shook his head lightly. "Well go back now." Then, he put his arm around Minerva's waist. "Well go and get Beanie and then go home."
