My Child and I Married a Billionaire novel Chapter 93

Chapter 93: Chapter 93: Overwhelming Fortune

Cecelia Archer couldn’t quite believe her ears.

’Five kilograms of gold?’

Based on the current market price of gold, at 500 yuan a gram, this box was worth 2.5 million yuan.

’Just for calling him Grandpa, I got a bracelet and 2.5 million yuan on top of that? This...’

She didn’t dare to accept it. The housekeeper noticed her hesitation and said with a warm smile at her side,

"Young Madam, this is customary. As the eldest daughter-in-law of the Vaughn Family, it’s expected for elders to give you gifts. It would be against custom to refuse. Please, take it."

"Don’t worry about the price; it’s a token of the master’s affection. If you truly feel uneasy, you can simply spend more time with the master, take good care of him, and have a few more children with the young master for him to dote on."

Cecelia Archer: "..."

Damien Vaughn took the box for her. Refusing any further would make her seem impolite, so Cecelia Archer could only say, "Thank you, Grandpa."

"Open it and take a look," Damien Vaughn said, placing it in front of her.

The box had three layers in total, with two drawers.

She pulled open the first drawer to reveal a pair of glittering gold bracelets and a longevity lock necklace.

The bracelets were 3 centimeters thick and 25 centimeters wide, carved with lifelike phoenixes. They were the height of luxury.

The longevity lock was small and exquisite, and the necklace chain was adjustable, making it both fashionable and auspicious. It was clear the old master had put a lot of thought into it.

Other than on television, this was the first time in her life Cecelia Archer had seen such luxurious gold jewelry with her own eyes. She couldn’t help but stare, mesmerized.

Pulling open the second drawer revealed several sets of small earrings.

There were sets shaped like lanterns, phoenixes, fireworks, and the character for "happiness." Each set was beautiful and carried a wonderful meaning.

The main event was the third layer. She could feel its weight just by touching it. Sure enough, when she pulled open the drawer, she was stunned.

It was a brilliant gold phoenix crown. In the very center was a carved phoenix with its wings spread as if about to take flight, its beak holding a single, eye-catching emerald. She felt as if the old master’s doting had turned her into an empress.

As she gazed at it, Cecelia Archer’s nose began to tingle.

’He accepted me without even confirming Candy’s identity, not caring that my family has no power or influence, and gave me such a lavish welcome. What have I ever done to deserve this?’

"Grandpa..."

Cecelia Archer was, after all, just a 23-year-old girl. When at a loss, her instinct was to seek comfort.

She didn’t know how to express her gratitude, so she pushed back her chair, ran to the other side of the table, and hugged the old master.

"Thank you. I really, truly thank you."

She wasn’t thanking him for the wealth, but for his wholehearted acceptance.

Aside from being praised by teachers for good grades in school, she had never felt so accepted by anyone.

Seeing how moved she was, the old master smiled and patted her hand.

"Alright, alright, it’s nothing to get so worked up about. As long as you and Damien have a good life together and give me a few more grandchildren, everything the Vaughn Family has will be yours. Now, go back and eat. Your food is getting cold."

Just as the few of them were sharing a warm and harmonious moment, Second Aunt and Third Aunt suddenly walked in.
