He did
Natalle stared intently at the brooch clenched in Linda’s hand.
How could Henry…?
Did he really decide to marry her the third time they met?
At that time, she hadn’t even exchanged a few words with him…
“Nana, this brooch isn’t from Henry, so where did it come from?” Linda asked, her voice filled with
melancholy, as she gently caressed the brooch.
“Ah…” Natalie snapped out of her thoughts and scratched her head after hearing Linda’s question.
She couldn’t think of a good reason on the spot, so she casually replied, “I… I bought it somewhere
before.”
“Bought it somewhere?” Linda’s mind was puzzled because only the Graham family had this
brooch.
She picked it up and examined it closely, left to right, top to bottom… It undeniably looked like the
Graham family’s brooch.
“Nana, are you really saying you bought it from somewhere else?” Linda asked seriously.
Natalie felt uneasy inside, but she didn’t show it on her face. She simply nodded and said, “Yes…”
Linda fell silent.
After a while, she raised her gaze and said, “Nana, Auntie wants to ask you for a favor.”
Upon hearing Linda’s request, Natalie leaned back, her body tensed. “Auntie, I’ve already said I don’t
agree…”
Linda shook her head and interrupted Natalie, “It’s not about helping the Graham family… It’s about
this brooch. Can you give it to Auntie?”
Upon hearing those words, Natalie’s pupils shook abruptly. Linda wanted this brooch?
“Nana, can you? Please?” Linda’s eyes were filled with pleading.
Her eyes still tinged with redness from crying, trembling lips carefully cradling the brooch as if it were
an extremely fragile treasure.
“I… Natalie was momentarily speechless.
Chapter 165 ilə did.
This brooch was the first gift Henry had given her… and now she knew Its true significance.
If Linda hadn’t revealed this matter today, the meaning behind this brooch, she might have let go of
1.
But now that she knew, she couldn’t let go of this item with special meaning…
Linda blinked nervously, tears glistening on her long eyelashes.
“Auntie no longer needs your help with the Graham family… You just need to give me this brooch,
and then I’ll leave.”
Linda would rather have this brooch? Was she willing to give up the Graham family for it?
Natalie pursed her lips.
Instead of making an immediate choice, she spoke calmly, “Why?”
“Why would you choose a brooch over the Graham family? Especially when this brooch might not even
be the Graham family heirloom… It could even be a fake brooch.”
“Are you really going to make that choice?” Natalie stared fixedly at Linda.
Linda didn’t hesitate for a moment and replied, “Yes.”
“Is it possible? Nana, Auntie knows this brooch isn’t from the Graham family, but Auntie…” Linda didn’t
finish her sentence. “Or maybe Auntie can buy it from you? How much did you spend when you bought
it? Auntie will pay double the price.”
This brooch is just too similar, incredibly so…
After Henry left, Linda couldn’t keep anything… As for the reasons why she couldn’t keep anything,
she didn’t want to dwell on them anymore.
After encountering this brooch with so much difficulty… she must keep it, no matter what.
Although this brooch doesn’t belong to Henry, Linda sees it as her last straw, and she must hold
onto it.
Besides, this brooch was just something Nana casually bought outside… It shouldn’t have any special
meaning or value to Nana either.
Linda believes that what she’s doing isn’t asking too much… If it really was too much, she wouldn’t
have the audacity to ask Nana for the brooch.
At this moment, Linda couldn’t find many words to say, so she could only repeat in a despondent
tone
“It’s not about the money. “Natalie choked up and couldn’t speak.
“Then Nana, tell me, what do you want? If Auntie can provide it, I will definitely give it to you.”
What if, what if this brooch is Henry’s?
What if Henry accidentally lost it, and Nana happened to buy it? What if?
The more Linda thinks like this, the more her eyes sparkle, and the more she develops feelings for
this brooch.
Natalie’s eyelashes trembled, and she remained silent, but instead, she stood up.
Linda saw Natalie stand up directly and realized that she didn’t want to give her the brooch. The
woman quickly grabbed onto Natalie’s clothes.
A kind of desperation flashed in her eyes as she murmured, “Nana, this is Henry’s last possession.”
Natalie was stunned, feeling a shock in her mind, and she didn’t react for a moment. “What did you
say?”
“What do you mean by Henry’s last possession?” Henry only had this one thing left?
There’s nothing of Henry’s left in the Graham family? Just this one thing?
Linda seemed to hear what Natalie was saying in her heart, and she spoke sorrowfully, “Henry only has
this one thing left… Auntie wants to keep a memento for herself.”
When Natalie heard this, she felt like her world had collapsed. Her voice raised involuntarily, “Henry
is your son, and you heartlessly lost all his belongings?”
Natalie heard this sentence, suddenly felt thunderous, the voice can not help rising. ” Henry is your
son, you are so cruel to lose all his things?”
“Now that they’re lost, why bother pretending to want this brooch?” She continued.
Linda was startled by Natalie’s sudden outburst. She wanted to explain, but the words couldn’t
come out.
“I…” The memories of Henry’s recent passing were something she didn’t want to recall.
“Just go,” Natalie said, her voice filled not only with anger but also with exhaustion.
She didn’t want to see anyone from the Graham family anymore.
“Linda panicked. “Nana, let me explain… I didn’t lose Henry’s things.”
“You didn’t lose them? Are you suggesting that those things ran away on their own? Without your
approval, would the household staff dare to dispose of those items directly?”
Natalie no longer wanted to hear Linda’s excuses.
Linda chased after Natalie, watching as she was about to go upstairs… With a determined heart,
she finally spoke.
She reluctantly uttered, “After Henry left, Julian burned all of his brother’s belongings, not leaving
anything behind..”
Natalie halted her steps.
Julian burned all of Henry’s belongings??
Why would he do such a thing??
Natalie turned around. “Did Julian really burn them?”
Linda nodded. “I didn’t want to bring it up… but I was afraid you wouldn’t believe me.”
“Didn’t you truly want to keep some of Henry’s possessions? Can you understand a mother’s
feelings?” Why did Julian burn Henry’s belongings? Why?
Natalie felt nothing but anger in her heart. Henry loved his younger brother so much, why did he
have the right to do that? What right did he have?
“Nana, you’ve already said that you don’t want to help the Graham family, but aside from leaving
Graham Group to me as his mother, the only thing Henry left behind was this brooch…”
“I only want to keep one of the two… as a keepsake for myself.”
Natalie was taken aback. She didn’t expect Linda to be so desperate to protect the Graham family,
solely because of Henry.
She hesitated and asked, “Can I choose either one of the two?”
Linda lowered her gaze and nodded. “I don’t want to let Henry’s spirit in heaven sees me being
heartbroken. To see me, the mother who claims to love him, unable to protect his belongings.”
“With only these two things left, I can at least protect one of them. Since Graham Group cannot protect
it, I want to protect it for Henry.”
As she spoke, it seemed like she remembered something.
“I wonder if Henry had a beloved girl. If he did, I will personally give this brooch to the girl he loved.”
Linda sighed as she spoke.
Natalie was startled, and she instinctively wanted to say something.
Fortunately, she quickly realized and held back her words, silently answering Linda in her heart.
He did.
She have figured something out. She said, “I hereby grant you the authority. Go and save the
Graham family.”
As for the brooch, she wanted to keep it for herself.
