You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 967

"Oh, it was recommended by a friend. Yesterday you sent me the photo of the pendant and I asked a professional appraising agency immediately. But they can only identify the material and have no experience with the history as well as the artifacts. So we will have to find a professional antique appraiser."

Casey explained, "After asking around a few times, everyone ended up recommending this place. The antique appraiser, Mr. Ward, has devoted all his life to the business. He was experienced and knowledgeable. He can say a thing or two about even the most offbeat things."

Luther walked on and finally reached the main hall.

He looked up and saw a plaque that read "Sanmon Antiques" on the door.

"This is the place. Mr. Warner, this way."

Casey led the way the workroom inside.

Mr. Ward stood up and smiled, "Good day to you both and welcome to my little workroom. As you can see, this is just a small workroom so I won't pour you tea."

He could see that one of the guests was dressed in a quite extraordinary way, and he must have a quite significant position.

Luther took the pendant out of his pocket and gave it to Mr. Ward, "Please take a look at it, Master. I think there was originally a pattern on it, but I couldn't see it."

"Okay."

Mr. Ward took the pendant from Luther's hand and sat back.

After he had a close look, he said, "Well, it does have quite a history. At least, a hundred years. If you don't mind, I'll clean that thick layer of oxidation off first."

He reached out and pointed to the sofa in the room, "Please sit down. It will take a little longer."

"Good."

Luther sat down. He looked around, and the room was full of antiques on the walls, on the floor, and even from the ceiling. Even the sofa on which he was now sitting was hundreds of years old.

It was as if he had come to another world, a different world from the outside.

"Mr. Warner, you sit down for a moment. I'll go out and get you a cup of coffee."

Casey, expecting a long wait, offered.

"Good. Go ahead."
