Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel 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."
