Clara looked so calm that nobody can notice her sadness.
She laughed, "I don't mean anything else, just want to know."
Marshall seemed to have thought about it for a while. It has been a year. He could hardly remember the scene when he went to the Henderson’s to break off their marital engagement if Clara didn’t bring it up.
Marshall said, "I should be honest with you, Clara. I didn't want to break off the engagement, because I think we are both from respected family. When I break off the engagement, it will do harm to you or your family. In particular, you are a girl, you will be embarrassed. That is what I thought at the beginning."
Clara chuckled and laughed, "Actually, you are right. I was embarrassed. I felt like I was dumped."
She said in a light tone, as if she didn't care at all.
The atmosphere was not that tense.
Marshall smiled, "That’s why I always feel sorry for you."
Clara sighed, but then changed the topic, "I think you and Miss Jordan are having a good relationship now. Auntie told me that the two of you are not getting along, and about to divorce. I was worried."
Marshall raised his eyebrows, "She was talking nonsense. She doesn't like Kathy, so she wants us to get a divorce, but in fact our marriage is great."
Clara forced a smile, "I think so too."
Marshall turned around, and looked beyond, he let out a long sigh, "Katherine is a paper tiger, she is actually cute."
Clara pursed her lips and didn’t say anything.
Because she didn’t know what to say.
After a while, Marshall heard Katherine’s voice over the stairs.
Katherine hummed and hopped downstairs, holding something in her hand.
Sitting on the sofa, Lucas spoke to Katherine, "What are you so happy about?"
Katherine smiled, and came down quickly, "Grandma gave me a treasure."
Khalid looked at Katherine and smiled, "If it’s from grandma, it might be a real good thing. She has a lot of good things."
Katherine went over, just like presenting treasures, she opened the velvet box and showed it around to everyone.
There was a piece of jade inside, emerald green, crystal clear.
Khalid was stunned.
Katherine actually didn't understand the value of jade, but they all said that jade was priceless, and it was from grandma, so it must not be a cheapie.
Mrs. Grant was not here. She was disgraced during the birthday party, and she went upstairs to rest.
Khalid licked his lips. If Mrs. Grant saw the jade, she would probably be mad.
Khalid stared at the jade for a while, and said, "It was a love token given to grandma when grandpa was young."
Mrs. Grant has been thinking about it for a long time, and has always wanted it.
But grandma cherished it so much.
Katherine was stunned and her eyes opened wide.
The jade was so meaningful, and grandma gave it to her, Katherine felt it was inappropriate for her to take it.
She was pretty happy at first, but after listening to Khalid's words, she felt that this jade was almost like a hot potato.
Marshall and Clara heard them and walked over.
Marshall hadn't seen the jade before, so he stared at it, "It turns out that it was given to grandma by grandpa."
Katherine nodded, "I didn’t know that it is so precious."
She was a little embarrassed, "Or, I'll return it to grandma, I thought it was just a piece of ordinary jade."
Carson Grant said, "No need to return. Anyway, it will be passed on to you in the future. If it is given to you, you can keep it. There is nothing wrong with it."
Katherine looked at the jade, and then looked at Marshall.
Marshall stared at the jade and said, "Take it, anyway, it will be yours in the future, and it is yours in advance. There is nothing wrong with it."
