What the old lady said confused Cordelia.
She looked at her with doubt. She wanted to ask but was startled by Marcus, who was next to her.
The man looked grim, his eyes ferocious, as if he could start a storm.
Cordelia held his hand softly and whispered close to him, “Perhaps she's so old that she doesn’t know what she’s talking about… Don’t take it personally.”
Never had they thought the old lady had sharp ears that she heard what she said. She smirked.
“You’re so kind, young lady. You’ll be rewarded for your kindness.”
“Thanks, granny.” Cordelia revealed a courteous smile. “My husband is actually nice. It’s just that he looks a little scary. He’s too serious sometimes, which is why he is often misunderstood.”
“Hah, you want to look into your marriage, right?”
Cordelia quickly nodded.
The old lady peeped at the lines on her palm and slowly took two red string bracelets out of her pocket.
The bracelet made from a chaste tree was striking. There was a cute bell hanging on each knot. They would make a crisp ring whenever one touched them.
“Tie this around your wrist.” The old lady taught her word by word. “No matter how far away you two are separated, you’ll know where each other is when the bells ring.”
“What nonsense is that…” Seth frowned and mumbled softly, “If there’s something this magical, then we can get rid of our phones!”
Cordelia was stunned. She turned her face to smile at the old lady. “Granny, I won’t be too far away from my husband. We’re always together!”
“You’ll be separated one day.”
Cordelia’s face turned pale, and she held Marcus’ hand tightly.
“But…” The old lady looked into the distance and said while smiling, “You two will live happily ever after eventually.”
