Relentless Pursuit After Divorce-Chapter 1931: Summer Hall Side Story (133)
But in front of Helen Melendy, he seems to have gathered all his charisma, leaving only incomparable tenderness and thoughtfulness for Helen Melendy.
Olivia Smith originally thought of seducing Harry Hall purely to prevent Helen Melendy from having too good a life, but watching this scene, her heart couldn’t help but be moved.
She watched Harry Hall speak softly to Helen Melendy, then the two smiled tacitly, which was extraordinarily glaring in her eyes.
"Dad, Mom."
"Father-in-law, Mother-in-law."
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Smith were as pleased as if they’d taken a magic potion upon hearing these addresses, and quickly invited them into the house.
The driver carried the gifts they brought, and the servant helped to bring them in together.
"I heard that Father-in-law likes to collect antiques, so I picked one out for you. See if you like it."
Other than pleasing his own wife, Harry Hall never tried to please anyone, but when he does intend to please someone, he can certainly make them satisfied.
Just like now, Charles Smith is not greedy for any gifts from his daughter and son-in-law; even if they came empty-handed, he’d be happy. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
But when he opened the box and saw that Harry Hall had given him the authentic piece he had been searching for but couldn’t find, his eyes lit up, and his face broke into a wide smile.
"Like it, love it,"
Charles Smith nodded and smiled, then said to Evelyn Taylor:
"Our daughter picked a really good son-in-law for us. Look at this gift, it truly warms my heart."
Evelyn Taylor cast a disdainful glance at her husband, "Look at you, so easily satisfied."
Feeling a bit sour inside, she thought about how her daughter and son-in-law only remembered the old man and forgot about her.
Helen Melendy observed her own mother’s expression and mentioned another small bag, handing it to Evelyn Taylor.
"Mom, this is what I picked for you. See if you like it."
Upon hearing this, Evelyn Taylor’s eyes lit up immediately, stopping her jealousy of her husband, and she eagerly accepted the gift her daughter picked for her and opened it.
Inside was a translucent green jade bracelet, a top-quality piece whose value was evident even to the untrained eye.
Evelyn Taylor didn’t lack this type of fine jade bracelet, but because it was given by her daughter, the value was entirely different.
Moreover, the carvings on this jade bracelet were different from those on the other bracelets she had; the craftsmanship was so exquisite, it was as if it had been crafted by supernatural means.
Even the most skillful jade carver of the time might not be able to produce such a high-quality pattern.
Every inch of the lines and angles was just perfect; a bit more or less would have diminished its spirit.
Olivia Smith stood quietly watching from the side, her face giving nothing away.
Raised in the Smith Family, she had developed a noble lifestyle over the years and could recognize high-quality items.
She could tell that Helen Melendy’s bracelet was top-notch, but she was giving it to Evelyn Taylor, who had seen everything, so aside from the price, there was nothing worth boasting about.
Olivia Smith inwardly curled her lips disdainfully.
What a small-minded upbringing, thinking that giving expensive things is thoughtful?
Did she not consider what kind of person her mother is, and what fine things she’s seen?
"This bracelet... is it Jafferson?"
Just as she was inwardly dismissing Helen Melendy’s gift, she heard Charles Smith speak with a look of shock.
Jafferson?
Olivia Smith’s heart skipped a beat, and she glanced at the jade bracelet in Evelyn Taylor’s hand.
