Everyone’s attention remained fixed on Arabella. No one noticed the quiet conflict playing out within Naomi at that moment.

Jonathan, now that our own granddaughter is home, you should find time to make a proper announcement soon And from now on, let’s not refer to her with her old surname. Since she’s back with the Hamiltons, she should use the family name,” Ryan said, a pleased smile on his face.

“Of course, Lactually came today hoping to discuss that with you. I’ll arrange everything as soon as we return,” Jonathan replied. He, too, wanted to establish Arabella’s rightful place publicly. He didn’t want his daughter to face any more uncertainty.

Ryan then turned to Arabella. “Arabella, now that you’re part of the Hamilton family, you’ll carry our name. Is there a first name you’d prefer to go by?”

“I’m quite fond of Arabella, actually,” she answered.

Very well. Then Arabella Hamilton it is,” Ryan agreed warmly.

“It sounds perfect. Truly perfect,” Florence said, her eyes glistening as she held Arabella’s hand. In that moment, she finally felt her daughter had fully come home.

Arabella gave a firm nod. From that day forward, she could finally leave the name Macdonald behind.

From now on, she was Arabella Hamilton, daughter of the Hamilton family.

No longer the overlooked child from another household.

Sensing Florence’s emotions were as mixed and tender as her own, she squeezed her mother’s hand gently and offered a reassuring smile. “Alright. From today, I’m Arabella Hamilton.”

The scene left everyone in the room a little misty–eyed.

Just then, a member of the staff brought over an envelope. Lena immediately handed a thick, cream- colored oge to Arabella. “Arabella, this is the welcome gift I promised you.

“Thank you, Grandma,” Arabella said, accepting it graciously.

To everyone’s surprise, Lena then began to slide off a delicate bracelet she had worn for decades. She looked at Arabella with deep fondness. This bracelet has been with me for most of my life. Today, I’d like you to have it—a keepsake to mark your return to this family and your rightful place in it”

Arabella only needed one glance to recognize its value. She shook her head gently, “Grandma, this is far too precious. I really couldn’t take your bracelet.”

When Naomi heard Lena was about to give Arabella the bracelet as a homecoming gift, she froze.

To her, it wasn’t just any piece of jewelry.

For as long as she could remember, Lena had worn that bracelet every single day. Naomi had never seen

her without it.

She knew the bracelet held a special, almost sacred meaning to Lena.

“Grandma, that bracelet… It carries so much sentiment. Besides, you’ve worn it forever. Won’t it feel strange not to have it on?” Naomi said, a faint ache in her voice.

“Girls our age don’t really wear heirloom bracelets much anyway. We tend to prefer more modern, delicate pieces–right, Arabella?” Naomi offered casually, glancing toward Arabella for support.

She was sure Arabella would agree

“I suppose so,” Arabella replied, meeting Naomi’s look. She understood Naomi didn’t want her to have the

bracelet.

But truthfully, she didn’t mind–she hadn’t wanted to accept it in the first place.

“Lena, that bracelet was your mother’s. Arabella is still young, and it really doesn’t suit her style. Besides, it’s far too meaningful to give away, Florence added, gently revealing the braceler’s origin. She, too, felt was too significant a gift.

She never expected Lena would offer Arabella something so intimately tied to her own past. Even if Arabella had wanted it, Florence would have hesitated. And Arabella had already declined

“Does everyone here want to tell me what to do with my own jewelry? Lena said, her tone softening with affection. “This bracelet is mine, and I decide who receives it” She took Arabella’s hand, ready to slip it onto her wrist.

“Grandma. I know you want to welcome me warmly, and there are so many other ways to do that. A bracelet like this really isn’t for someone my age.

“Your kindness means the world to me, but I truly can’t accept this. With that, Arabella carefully helped Lena put the bracelet back on her own wrist.

Ryan, who had been quietly observing, could see Arabella genuinely didn’t wish to take it. He stepped in to ease the moment. “Alright now, dear. Arabella has spoken. Let’s not make the girl uncomfortable. Young people today have their own tastes.”

Seeing Ryan help smooth things over, Arabella seized the chance to lighten the mood. “I wouldn’t have guessed Grandpa kept up with what young people like these days.”
