Chapter 243
I’ll be home soon.” Thalia said hurriedly
She hung up and headed straight for Rosewood Manor.
On the way, her mind was racing with all kinds of thoughts.
But when she reached the gates of Rosewood Manor, she forced herself to calm down, determined not to let Diana see that anything was off.
After all, Diana was getting older and her health wasn’t great. If she got wind of everything that had happened lately, she might not be able to take it.
When Thalia walked into the living room, she saw her grandma Diana sitting on the sofa, her hair silver-white, with Darion beside her, talking softly.
“Grandma, Thalia called out.
She ran over and threw herself into Diana’s arms.
Diana held Thalia close, smiling as she gently stroked her hair. “You’re all grown up now, but you still act like a little kid. Aren’t you worried your husband will tease you?”
Thalia had thought she could keep it together, that she could hide how she really felt.
But the moment she hugged Diana and heard her gentle scolding, Thalia felt her emotions almost slip out of control. Her nose burned with emotion, and she pressed her face into Diana’s chest, eyes squeezed shut.
Her voice was muffled, making it harder for Diana to notice anything was off.
“I missed you,” Thalia mumbled.
Diana smiled. “Then why haven’t you come to see me? You little rascal.”
Thalia gripped Diana’s sleeve tightly, trying hard to hold herself together. “Grandma, why did you show up so suddenly You should’ve let me know in advance. I would’ve come to get you.”
Seeing Diana, who was over seventy and still having to travel around like this, Thalia’s heart ached for her.
But Diana just smiled. “After you mentioned those sapphire earrings, I just couldn’t stay put at home. So I decided to come over myself. Thalia, did you find any clues about them?”
Thalia paused, her emotions finally settling down. She quietly wiped the corner of her eye before looking up. “Yeah, I found them. I was planning to bring them to you once I finished up with everything, but I didn’t expect you to come here
Diana’s eyes sparkled with delight. “Really?”
“Yeah, they’re Thalia was about to say they were at the apartment, but then she remembered Diana didn’t know she and Darion were living apart. So she quickly changed her story. “They’re in a bank safe. I’ll pick them up for you tomorrow
“That’s wonderful!” Diana exclaimed, squeezing Thalia’s hand tightly. “Thalia, those sapphire carrings mean the world to me They were a token of love from Mason Mcgee, your grandpa.
“When the earrings went missing, it felt like a piece of him was gone too. And then, not long after, he passed away It’s been a weight on my heart all these years. But now that you’ve found them, I can finally let go

Thalia nodded Yeah, now you can finally get some real rest
Diana nodded, her gaze full of gentle comfort and gratitude as she looked at Thalia.
“Grandma, Thalia called out softly
Having been ignored for a while, Darion finally spoke up. I’ve already made a reservation. Why don’t we head out to eat and talk things over there?”
Diana nodded. “Alright, I’ll leave it to you.”
Thalia glanced at Darion, her eyes briefly flashing with coldness before she quickly hid it away.
Together, they left Rosewood Manor and made their way to the restaurant.
