“You married into The Grant family!” said The Old Mrs. Grant. Seeing Rosemary’s confusion, she explained, “The Grant family had only one boy per generation. You should also know that I have a grandson who was in a car accident two years ago and is still in a vegetative state. But rest assured, when you marry him, he will surely wake up!”
As soon as The Old Mrs. Grant finished, Rosemary said with a slight frown: “But I…” She didn’t say she wouldn’t. Rosemary said euphemistically said, “It’s happened so suddenly and I haven’t decided yet!”
Laurie looked at her and smiled, “Rosemary, The Grant family is a big family. And The Old Mrs. Grant herself proposed the marriage. You’ll be lucky to marry Mr. Grant.”
Lucky?
Rosemary’s eyes fell on Laurie with a smile on her face. Now she wanted to stand up and ask Laurie if it was really that lucky, why didn’t you ask your daughter to marry him?
But she didn’t, because she saw the helplessness and heartache in Andrew Harris’ eyes.
Perhaps they had already decided everything, and she was only the last to know.
Thinking of John Sawyer and Daisy, Rosemary took a deep breath and said, “Okay, I will marry him!”
All eyes were on Rosemary. The Old Mrs. Grant patted Rosemary's hand and took out a box from her bag. She opened it in the amazed eyes of all.
It was a jade bracelet, shiny and moist, as pure white as suet.
“This is a fine white jade!” Laurie said with a flicker of jealousy in her eyes. Looking at Rosemary, she said, “Look how good The Old Mrs. Grant has been to you.”
