"I prepared it a long time ago. I take it with me all the time, but I haven’t taken it out before." While speaking, Julien adjusted the necklace for her so that the main ruby of the necklace was right in the middle of her two collarbones. Then he nodded in satisfaction. "Pretty good! I know it’s wise to select this necklace."
"Well, it's okay to praise the necklace. But you even praise yourself," Sydney said, feeling amused.
He fondled her hair. "I have good taste. It's okay to praise myself."
"Yes, yes. You have the best taste, okay?" Sydney smiled and then asked, "You just said that you prepared the necklace a long time ago. Do you specially prepare it just to match my dress today?"
The necklace was made of rubies. The main ruby was at least fifty karats, the other smaller rubies were about ten karats, and the ordinary diamonds were around one carat.
Such a large luxurious necklace was not used on daily occasions, but was worn to match a dress when she attended banquets.
It was improbable that Julien prepared such a necklace for her to wear at ordinary times. The only possibility was that he intended the necklace to match her dress.
After all, the dress was red, and the ruby necklace was also red. They were a perfect match.
Sure enough, he nodded. "Yes. I know you used to have a lot of jewelry, but you sold most of it for Skylight Corporation. The jewelry left is very ordinary, and it can't match the dress. So, I took the liberty of preparing the necklace for you."
Sydney lowered her head and caressed the necklace around her neck. "It’s the second time that you have prepared jewelry for me. Is it also left by your mother?"
The first time he had prepared jewelry was also for her to participate in a banquet.
As he said, she sold most of her previous jewelry for Skylight Corporation. The remaining jewelry was ordinary and cheap.
The jewelry indeed did not match her evening dress. Sydney would be laughed at if she wore the jewelry in her evening dress.
So, she used his jewelry at that time, but she didn't accept it. She returned it to him in the end.
After all, they hadn't gotten back together then.
"Yes," Julien replied. "The necklace is also left by my mother, but it is not her dowry. My father specially bought it when he married her. Though the Harrow family prepared much jewelry as my mother's dowries, our Flint family gave her the most luxurious jewelry. The necklace is one of it, and the remaining jewelry will belong to you in the future."
Hearing his words, Sydney rolled her eyes at him. "What nonsense are you talking about? Why will the jewelry belong to me?"
"You are my wife. Shouldn't you inherit the jewelry left by your mother-in-law?" Julien stared at her with a smile. "What's more, the jewelry that our family gave to my mother is supposed to be passed on to my wife. You can also give them to our daughter-in-law in the future."
‘He first says that his mother's jewelry will be mine in the future, and then he mentions our daughter-in-law.
‘Well, he really thinks much about our future.
‘He even thinks that we’ll have a son and that our son will marry a girl.
‘If he continues thinking, will we have a grandson?’ Sydney thought.
After shooting a glance at him, she put her hand off the necklace. "The more you talk, the more exaggerated your words become. We haven't even got married yet, but you've even planned the marriage of your son to a girl. Well, who will bear you a son?"
‘Can't we have a daughter?’ Sydney thought with annoyance.
Julien didn't know what she was thinking about. He put his hands on her shoulders, turned her around, and looked down at her. "We'll get married, and naturally we'll have kids. Moreover, don't you want to see what I looked like when I was a kid?" He asked.
Sydney felt confused. "When you were a kid? Why do you mention this?"
Julien chuckled and then explained, "If you bear me a son, you can know what I looked like when I was a kid, right?"
Sydney's eyes widened.
