Chapter: 2537
“Your standards for men are quite low," Alick said.
Flirtingly, Annis asked, "If we have a child, could you do what he does? He's practically his daughter's servant."
Confidently, Alick said, “If we have a child, I'll do even better than him."
"I should hold you to that promise," Annis said, clinging to his arm.
Perhaps the memory of Annis' miscarriage caused Alick's expression to darken a bit.
He gently touched Annis's hand. "We'll have more than one child."
“Raising them isn't easy, and they're quite expensive," Annis said.
Alick said, "I'll work hard to earn money. That way, we can afford them."
“No way. I want to spend a hundred years with you. Don't put your life on the line just for money."
They exchanged laughs and chatter as they got into the car.
Upon arriving home, Nelson asked, “Did everyone arrive safely? All of them?"
Annis, sitting on the sofa, replied, "Yes, they're all resting at your house now."
Nelson then instructed the servant to bring two velvet boxes.
“Take a look."
"What?" Annis asked.
"You'll see once you open it."
Filled with curiosity, Annis opened the boxes.
Inside were two sets of diamond jewelry.
From their design, it appeared these could be antiques.
“These are part of my collection, and now they belong to you. You should wear them on your wedding day," Nelson said.
