Tara's expression changed slightly, and her guilty conscience became more obvious.
At this point, despite feeling lost, Owen noticed that something was wrong.
He looked at Nell before he turned to look at Tara with deeply furrowed brows.
"Tara, what do you know? Don't be afraid. I’m here. Just say it if you want to."
As he spoke, he held her hand to give her some strength.
A complicated gaze flashed through Tara's eyes, but she did not speak.
Nevertheless, Nell was not nervous as she waited for her response quietly.
The chain of that necklace was relatively longer. So even when she wore it, the pendant was usually hidden beneath her clothes.
Furthermore, she rarely wore low necklines. If she had not recognized the necklace earlier, she would never have known that there was a ruby on the pendant.
Given how entangled Tara was now, there must be something hidden in it.
Now that the matter was exposed, she knew that if Tara wanted to blurt it out, she definitely would have said it. If she did not want to say it, no matter how urgent it was, it would be useless to force her.
Moreover, her relationship with Tara was not too shabby now, because as Owen and Gideon were good brothers, she and Tara also shared a somewhat similar connotation as their wives.
If Tara wanted to have a good future with Owen, she would definitely not do anything to harm Nell.
In fact, Nell was right.
After Tara struggled for a while, she decided to tell the truth.
Hesitantly, she looked at Nell and said, "Nelly, in fact, I… have seen the necklace you wore before."
Nell raised an eyebrow.
"Where did you see it?"
"I can't remember clearly. I was still very young back then. I think it was when I went back to the old house to play with my aunty, I saw it in her room but I don't remember the details clearly because it happened a long time ago."
Nell's face changed. "Who is your aunty?"
Owen explained, "The Garretts only have one daughter, and Tara's aunty is, of course, Juliette."
Nell was astonished.
Juliette? How could this be?
Seeing her shocked expression, Tara quickly added, "But I only remember it vaguely, and I find that the one you wore before is very similar to the one I saw when I was a child. As for whether it is really the same one, I'm actually not sure. Maybe I’m just overthinking."
Nell's face was gloomy and she did not speak.
For some reason, she suddenly remembered what Sylvia had told her a long time ago when she had taken this necklace back.
Sylvia had said, “Nell, one day you will regret it!”
Why did she say that?
What would she regret?
Nell dared not think about it. Like a seed buried in the soil, it suddenly burst out of the soil.
When Tara noticed that her expression did not look good, she could not help but feel bad for bringing up this topic.
At this moment, Lizzy, who had been sitting next to her with her eyes wide open stared blankly at the adults who were talking about things she did not understand while she sucked on her lollipop. Suddenly, her eyes lit up.
She shouted "Daddy" happily and ran towards the door.
