Chapter 350
Dahlia was genuinely curious about Dustin’s past. After getting to know him better these days, she found that he was indeed a mystery.
“It’s along story.” Dustin shook his head.
“Alright, I’ll be here whenever you feel like talking about it.” Dahlia gave him a warm smile.
“Sure.” Dustin nodded.
“It’s getting colder these days. Let’s go to the mall to get some new clothes for winter,” Dahlia suggested.
“Sure, we can get some new clothes, but I’ll have you know, I’m broke!” Dustin shrugged.
“Ugh! What a miser!” Dahlia rolled her eyes. “I’ll pay for everything today. Will that do?” “Why, thank you, Ms. Nicholson!” Without another word, Dustin hurried off to bring the car over. It’s been three years since they got married, but they rarely went out shopping together.
The moment they left, Florence immediately took out the sapphire and had a good look at it. “Oh, my precious honeybunch of a sapphire! What luck I’m in today!”
The more she studied it, the more she loved it.
“Aunt Florence, what are you looking at?” Right then, Julie walked in.
“Julie! You’ve come at just the right time! Come have a look at this!” Florence showed off the sapphire to Julie and handed it to her.
“A sapphire?” When Julie had a good look at it, her voice raised a pitch and she sounded so excited. “Aunt Florence, where did you get such an enormous sapphire? It must be worth a fortune!
“Haha! You might not believe this, but it was Dustin’s father who gave this to me.” Florence beamed proudly.
“What? Dustin’s father?” Julie was shocked and could not believe her ears. “Aunt Florence, didn’t you say that Dustin’s as broke as can be? How can his father afford to give you something so precious?”
“I find it strange too.” Florence rubbed her chin. “I was wondering if Dustin secretly came from a wealthy family. Maybe he’s just kept a low profile all this while so we never noticed.”
“Him? The son of a wealthy family? Does he look like one?” Julie wondered out loud.
