Accidental love II novel Chapter 10

In the living room.

Janice met the elders of the Clinton family one by one.

Shawn took a blue velvet brocade box from the servant, "Janice, this is the new wedding gift I prepared for you. Come and see if you like it or not."

Janice walked over obediently and took the box with both hands, "Thank you, Grandpa."

"Quickly open and see. This is what your grandma once left. She said the grandson who gets married first could get it." Shawn raised his hand and touched the sparse gray beard on his chin, always smiling.

Marcus slightly smiled at Janice's direction, "This is Grandma's heirloom."

"So precious?" Janice was about to open the box but then she hesitated, "I..."

Marcus’ aunt, Freya Clinton, saw Janice’s hesitation. Then she smiled lovingly, "It’s not precious. But your grandma said if you like it at the first glance, you can accept it. If you don’t like it, you can return it to us."

Hearing this, Janice breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and then opened the box.

On the bottom surface of the bright yellow satin, there was a blood-red round jade pendant lying quietly, with a hint of white in the red.

Janice didn't understand jade. But for some reason, at a glance, she always felt that this piece of jade was a bit familiar. Her eyes lit up. Then she picked it up.

She felt cool in her hand. Sunlight reflected on the jade. Janice's eyes flickered. She seemed to see the red in it was flowing. Then she couldn't help but felt a little curious, so she picked it up and observed it in the sun, "Wow, it's amazing. It’s like a human blood vessel. The blood inside is flowing."

Hearing this, the elders on the sofa were all startled.

"Don't scare us. I have seen that jade pendant. When can it be flowing?" Helena snorted disdainfully.

Freya and her father glanced at each other. Their eyes were filled with relief.

"Helena, you don’t know that. Back then, my mother said that only the person with the purer mind can see the blood flowing in it. Like us, after half a lifetime of earthly life, our eyes have long been tainted by the world. Naturally, we can't see the mystery there anymore." Freya explained.

Janice was stunned. Then she quickly put the jade pendant back into the box, closed the box, and handed it to Shawn with both hands, "Grandpa, such a magical treasure, it must be very precious. I dare not accept it."

"It’s about fate. Everyone has seen that you and this jade pendant are indeed destined. Just take it!" Shawn poked the dragon cane on the carpet. Then he said kindly to Janice.

"This, Marcus..." Janice asked Marcus.
