"Mom, I can't take this bracelet."
Alicia declined politely, not because she was afraid of Carlos' sharp eyes, but she really thought it was too valuable.
Even if the devil's blood flows in her body, there will be an angel's conscience occasionally.
"Why not?"
Mrs. Sara’s face was bleak. She thought that her son's ruthless words had hurt Alicia.
"I just became a member of the family. You keep it first. It is not too late to give me when I am qualified to accept it."
Carlos’s face finally relaxed after hearing that. He was very satisfied with her sensible answer.
"It doesn't matter. Since I admit you, you will be my daughter-in-law all my life, even if ..."
She glanced at her son and reluctantly said, "If you can't stand such a marriage and want to leave, I won't blame you. You can take this bracelet away or leave it home. Do whatever you like."
After Mrs. Sara said that, she stubbornly put the bracelet on Alicia's wrist. Alicia was at a loss at first, but she couldn't bear to refuse because of the firmness in Sara's eyes.
Alicia knew Sara's kindness and intention. Sara wanted to use this bracelet to make her always live here.
Alicia went upstairs wearing the jade bracelet which symbolized the Noel-Baker family's future hostess. She sat in her room, waiting for someone to question her.
As expected, she returned to her room just one minutes later. The door rang loudly, "Alicia, come out!"
It was the first time to hear Carlos calling her name, which made her hair stand on end.
She meekly opened the door, "What happened?" She asked while knowing the answer.
"Give it back."
