My Wife Is So Sweet (Natalia Dawson) novel Chapter 327

Chapter 327 Treat It as a Coincidence

At that moment, Mama Murphy had taken the box and walked over.

"Found it, madam."

Smiling, she handed the box over to the old lady. Natalia took one look and saw it was a deep brown sandalwood box, engraved with delicate patterns. A high-end piece, obviously.

Ariana opened the box. It was inlaid with a dark red silk brocade, and on the brocade, there sat a classic-looking sapphire necklace.

Natalia's eyes shot wide as her face changed slightly.

For no other reason that the design looked very familiar, almost like...

The old lady took out the necklace and sighed, "This was from a long time ago, when I was still young. Your Grandpa got it from an antique merchant by chance, and we hadn't known each other long. He gave me the necklace as our engagement gift. You're a good kid, Natalia. I don't have much to give you, but I'll give you this necklace. I hope you and Archie can be like us, and spend the rest of your lives together in harmony and peace."

Natalia frowned. There was no joy in her expression as she stared off into space.

Noticing her bearing chance, Ariana was a little surprised as she called, "Natalia."

Natalia jerked back to the moment.

She floundered for a moment, then forced a smile. "What did you just say, Grandma?"

Ariana had to frown as well.

She didn't continue on the topic and said concernedly, "Are you all right? Are you feeling sick anywhere?"

Natalia shook her head.

Pursing her lips, she hesitated and said, "I'm fine. Just remembered a few things after seeing this necklace all of a sudden."

Ariana was taken aback.

"Oh? You don't mean to say you've seen it before?"

That couldn't be possible. After all, ever since William had given her the necklace decades ago, she'd hid it away carefully. Outsiders couldn't have seen it.

But Natalia nodded.

She reached out and unclasped the necklace she'd always been wearing.

"Look at this, Grandma."

Natalia was holding the same, classic-style necklace, designed very similarly to Ariana's, only the sapphire had been switched for a ruby.

Ariana was instantly stunned.

Not just her, but Mama Murphy, looking on at the side, was also stunned.

"What – what's going on..."

Mama Murphy was at a complete loss for words. This necklace was an heirloom from previous royal families. There was only one of them. How could an identical copy exist?

Natalia didn't know about the history behind the necklace, but seeing their reactions, she could tell that something wasn't right.

After a while, Ariana reacted, her face darkening slightly, "Where did you get this necklace?"

Natalia didn't hide it and told her about how her mother had died, leaving her this memento.

Ariana heard the story and fell into doubt.

Frowning, she reached out after a while and said, "Can I have a close look at the necklace?"

Natalia nodded.

Ariana took the necklace, examined it, and visibly relaxed.

"This is a fake. It's delicately made and looks like a classic relic, but look closely and you'll find that a lot of places are new. This isn't a remnant of a previous royal family but a recent forgery."
