Perfect Mysterious Husband (Maddox and Kimberly) novel Chapter 984

Jarold had originally planned to persuade Beanie to stay behind and accompany him. However, he did not expect to see his grandson outside pampering Minerva.

More than that, he could not believe his grandson actually thought that he would make things difficult for Minerva!

How could Maddox be so unreasonable?

When Maddox heard Jarold's voice, he looked up and saw his grandfather's upset face.

He pursed his lips and did not say anything.

Probably because the things Jarold did previously in the company gave Maddox a deep impression, so Maddox thought that he would give Minerva a hard time even now.

"Grandpa, don't you have something else to do?" Minerva's voice broke the tense atmosphere.

Minerva's words reminded Jarold of the more pressing matter. He looked around and saw Beanie standing not far from him. His face lit up with joy as he strode toward Beanie.

Jarold reached Beanie in a matter few seconds. Beanie stood in front of Jarold and said politely,

"Great-grandpa, please walk slowly."

"Beanie, I have something to ask you. Can we talk in private?"

Beanie blinked his eyes and subconsciously turned his head to look at Uncle Quill.

Quill nodded faintly.

"Okay, Great- grandpa, let's go," Beanie said. He took the initiative to hold Jarold's hand and walked away with him.

After they left, Abigail glanced at Quill and said, "Do you really feel assured for Beanie to leave with him? Aren't you afraid that your sister will come after you?"

Quill said indifferently. "The one who took him away was Beanie's great-grandfather. Why would Minerva come after me?"

Abigail didn't answer him. She sneered and crossed her arms in front of her chest.

"Auntie, Quill."

Minerva walked toward them together with Maddox after Jarold and Beanie left.

Both of them nodded. Abigail then noticed the box in Minerva's hand which she wasn't carrying before she entered the study. The box looked exquisitely crafted.

Could it be...

"Minerva, what's that you're holding?" Abigail could not help but ask.

Minerva then lowered her head and looked at the box in her hand. "Grandpa gave it to me in the study. He said... it's a greeting gift."

"A greeting gift?" Abigail raised her eyebrows in surprise and chuckled. "What did he gift you?"

Minerva shook her head. "I don't know. I haven't opened it yet."

"Open it and let's have a look now. This box looks quite delicate, maybe it's something expensive?" Abigail joked.

Quill and Maddox heard what she said and their gaze fell on the box.

To be honest, they were all a little curious.

Jarold's attitude toward Minerva had always been obviously distant and cold, so everyone was curious as to what kind of greeting gift did Jarold give Minerva.

They actually gave it such a majestic name?

However, Minerva felt it was a little strange. Why was such a beautiful necklace given such a name?

Was there a special meaning behind this?

Abigail looked at the necklace. Tears gradually welled up in her eyes and she got a little emotional.

"It seems that Auntie Stark is very familiar with this necklace," Quill glanced at her and everyone turned their attention to Abigail, hoping that she would be able to give an answer.

With everyone's attention focused on Abigail, she came to her senses and fought back the tears that lingered in her eyes. Then she smiled slightly and said, "Yes, I am very familiar with this necklace, very familiar..."

She pondered for a while, probably thinking about where to start.

After a while, she said, "Before my mother passed away, this diamond necklace had always belonged to her. This was my father's gift to her, and it was her favorite gift in her entire life. But... when she fell ill, she gave it to my sister, saying that she didn't want her illness to taint such a beautiful diamond."

Abigail paused for a moment, and continued, "Strictly speaking, this should be my sister's dowry. However, when we ran away from home, my sister didn't take the necklace with her and hid it away because she knew that it is of great significance to my parents. That's why... even though she was angry, she could not bear to take such a meaningful gift with her. After we left home, this necklace was left in the Collins Family. We didn't expect that... this old man kept it all along."

And he even kept it in such an exquisite box.

All of a sudden, Abigail felt her hatred toward Jarold diminished.

At the very least, he kept this necklace after all these years, and this proved that he had not forgotten the past.

Minerva finally knew the significance of this necklace. She was left in a daze for a moment, then she handed the box to Abigail. "Auntie, this is too valuable. Since it belonged to your sister, I think it's better that..."

Minerva did not dare to accept the gift. If she had known in the beginning that such a precious item was contained in the box, she would never have accepted it.
