Chapter 688
“Have you heard of Lightview Group’s Mr. Turner? Mr. Turner has business dealings with my brother’s company, and he has told my brother about how you’ve been looking for the tiger. I found out about it later on and was moved by you and your wife’s story. However, I was also unable to find the little tiger you’ve lost.”
After a pause, Genevieve honestly said to him, “That’s why I spent some time looking for that particular doll–maker and asked her to make me another one.”
At that, Herbert’s expression darkened a little.
When Sylvie saw the grimace on the elderly man’s face, she gloomily said, “That pair of tiger dolls was a wedding gift from the doll–maker to my grandparents. They’re a pair, and there’s only one of the kind in this world. Granddad is already upset about losing one of those tigers. Ms. Rachford, you’re only making everyone upset by getting the original doll–maker to remake a new tiger.”
Herbert did not speak, but he threw the little doll back into the box with a cold look on his face.
As Genevieve looked at the elderly man’s cold expression, she quietly said, “I did this exactly because of how this pair of tiger dolls are General Zeigler and his wife’s wedding gift–because it’s supposed to be a pair.”
Sylvie laughed. “Replacing the old one for a new one. Are you saying that my granddad should find a new partner?”
The Zeiglers around them, who were already displeased about Genevieve’s presence, found Genevieve’s actions upsetting after seeing her present a gift like that to Herbert.
Any Zeiglers–including the grandsons–knew how much Herbert loved his wife.
Even though his wife had passed away many decades ago, Herbert had still chosen to stay faithful
to her.
His never–changing love for his wife affected the children of the Zeigler family and made them particularly careful when it came to choosing a partner.
In the meantime, after hearing Sylvie’s words, Yuvan felt that he had made the wrong decision to let Genevieve and Cooper come.
However, Genevieve shook her head and softly said, “No, I wish to tell General Zeigler that the tigers are meant to be a pair, and no one gets left behind. It’s the same for people. General Zeigler, the little tiger is lost, but it has returned to you in a different way. It’s the same as your wife. She knows how much you love her, and she has been discreetly staying by your side.”
At that, Sylvie narrowed her eyes, “Ms. Rachford, what’s lost cannot be replaced by something
new.
“It’s not a replacement.” Genevieve gave her a small smile. “They were a pair, and they’re incomplete now. I just wish for them to be whole again.”
