I hesitated for a moment, nced into the bag, and saw two exquisite velvet boxes inside. They contained the jade pendant Grandpa had prepared for the child.


    A wave of intense pain swept through me. Goldly, I spoke, "This was something Grandpa prepared for the child. Since the child is no more, it should be returned to you."


    He red at me. "This was given to you by Grandpa. If you want to return it, return it to Grandpa."

    He nced at me casually, his fingers grasping the belt buckle, seemingly ready to


    I stared at him in disbelief, pulled the curtain shut abruptly, grilled my teeth. "yon!


    "Didn''t you tell me to take it off?"


    He asked knowingly, seeming slightly innocent


    Rolling my eyes, I picked up the ck shirt and threw it back at him. "Sot tell you to do something and you just do #7"


    Hearing this precise answer, my heart skipped a beat


    He stared at me with his dark eyes. "Yes"


    "You said #t/I thought for a moment, looking at him. "Before Grandpa left, he had ast wish thaven''t mentioned it to you, Grandpa said, Jessien is not allowed to enter the frost family Gan you do that?" My heart sank bit by bit
