Regardless, Susan's words warmed Pearl deeply, and her fondness for Susan deepened.
Suddenly, Susan seemed to recall something and slapped her thigh. "Oh, wait here. I'll grab something." She then hurried upstairs.
Pearl looked at Richard, puzzled. "What did she mean?"
Richard knew Susan's intentions but chose to smile and ignore Pearl's question.
"By the way, have you ever brought Winona home before?"
Richard looked into her eyes. "No, I didn't."
"But you told me you would."
"Why are you fixated on that? It was a lie." Richard sensed her jealousy in her bitter tone.
"I'm not, I was curious." Pearl, annoyed, stepped hard on his foot, feeling caught.
When she looked up, she saw Susan returning with a box. The latter witnessed her stepping on Richard's foot in annoyance, which embarrassed her.
"Ah, young couples bickering. It's fine. If he messes up, just scold him." Susan smiled brightly.
She sat down and placed the box on the table, revealing an agate ring inside. "We have many treasures in the family, mostly gold. But I remember your allergy, so I found this for you. It's an ancient piece."
Pearl knew it was an ancient piece. "It's too expensive. I can't accept it."
