Chapter 202 The Origin of the Blood Jade Ring, a Token of Love
Phyllis lay on Cecelia’s stomach, as if trying her hardest to catch even the slightest sound. After a while, she finally lifted her head. Sean asked with a suppressed laugh, “Phyllis, did you hear anything?”
“Mama’s hungry.”
Phyllis pouted and pointed at Cecelia’s stomach, saying disappointedly, “Mama’s stomach has been growling, and I can’t hear my little brother or sister anymore…”
Pfft!
This time, Sean couldn’t help but burst out laughing. It was only when he noticed Cecelia’s embarrassed and angry expression that he stopped. He coughed ostentatiously and gestured, “Honey, you must be tired. I’ll go get you something to eat.”
At that, he slipped out of the bedroom like he was running away.
Five minutes later…
Sean returned to the room with their dinner, which he handed over to Cecelia. He didn’t eat much and soon left the bedroom again to find Gemma.
He had to find out about the blood jade ring.
“Grandma, Grandpa.”
Gemma, Dean, and Cornelia were all in another room at this time. After Sean entered, the three of them looked at him strangely.
Especially Gemma. She took the initiative to walk up to him, pulling him to the sofa and asking with concern, “Sean, how are you?”
“Is everything okay?”
“Just taking a break.”
Sean was confused, so he asked, “What do you mean?”
“I know you’re a rigorous young man, and you spent five whole years in prison. You must have been holding back for a long time.”
“So…”
Gemma seemed to find the topic embarrassing, so she could not make it more straightforward than this, “Although Cecelia has a child, she hasn’t ever been in love yet. Although you are engaged, you haven’t completed the formalities yet. So, it’s best to wait a little longer…”
The more Sean listened, the more confused he became. He frowned and asked, “Grandma, what do you mean?”
“I don’t mean anything.”
Gemma laughed and said, “I just hope you can restrain yourself a little bit before you and Cecelia complete the formalities. At least not in broad daylight, in the room…”
Gemma couldn’t say the rest.
Both Gemma and Marcia were happy about Sean and Cecelia’s engagement, but their thinking was still relatively traditional and conservative. They didn’t want to see another embarrassing scene like before, nor did they want anyone else to see it. Otherwise, people would talk.
Sean’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, and now he understood Gemma’s meaning. He felt as if he was sitting on a hot seat, and he jumped to his feet, asking, “Grandma, how do you even know about this?”
“My mother-in-law told you?” Sean was shocked!
He was frustrated!
He had just done what he and Cecelia should have done as a married couple in the bedroom, but it seemed like everyone in the world already knew about it?!?
Pfft!
Cornelia saw Sean’s embarrassed expression and couldn’t help laughing. She explained, “You and Cecelia stayed in the room for so long and made so much noise… Gemma wanted to bring you some hangover medicine, and your mother-in-law happened to have picked up Phyllis from school.”
“So…”This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
“Giggle…”
Cornelia covered her mouth and couldn’t stop laughing. As if she was retaliating against Sean’s teasing before, she even gave him a thumbs-up, “It’s been almost an hour and a half…”
“Tsk tsk.”
“What a man?”
Sean frowned.
Damn!
He really was a bit reckless just now. All his attention was on Cecelia, and he didn’t release his dark energy to pay attention to the situation outside the door!
How could he have expected so many people outside the door!?
He glared at Cornelia, and Sean smirked. “Last time in Crane, Grandma seemed to have said that she wanted to make you her granddaughter so that you can marry me.”
“Could it be…”
“Do you really want to try my abilities?”
“If you want to, you still have a chance now.”
When she heard Sean’s words, Cornelia’s laughter suddenly stopped.
Immediately afterwards…
Cornelia also frowned.
And her cheeks were already completely red.
“You shameless!”
Like Cecelia, Cornelia had just left school and had never even been in a relationship. When it came to this kind of dirty joke, she was certainly no match for Sean.
What an instant shutdown!
“Mom, look at him!”
Cornelia stomped her feet in anger and could only complain to Gemma. In the end, she just took a towel and turned around and walked away. “You can talk, I’m going to take a shower.”
“Take a shower?”
Sean stared at Cornelia’s back and joked. “My dear aunt, are you hinting at me something?”
Flutter!
Cornelia stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
“Hooligan!”
After she entered the bathroom, Cornelia’s cursing came out from inside.
Gemma and Dean glanced at each other and couldn’t help feeling a little embarrassed when they heard their nonsensical conversation. “Sean, since you have Cecelia, Cornelia is still your aunt.”
“You can’t make these jokes.”
They really couldn’t stand and accept the way young people got along.
“Of course, Grandma, please rest assured.”
Sean nodded and smiled, then said seriously. “I’m actually here for the matter of that ring.”
“Grandma, you said that the ring is of great importance and is unusual.”
“Do you know where it came from?”
“What makes it so unusual?”
The strange thing about the Blood Jade Ring was that only someone with Bright Realm power could sense its fluctuation, which was enough to show that its origin was extraordinary!
“In fact…”
Gemma and Dean looked at each other and shook their heads. “The things I said to you at the banquet were what your mother told me before she went to the capital.”
“As for the origin of that ring and how special it is… Your mother didn’t mention it, and we don’t know.”
“We only know that the ring is your father and mother’s token of love…”
Gemma’s answer disappointed Sean.
At the same time, he was also a little puzzled.
Since Nicola realized the huge risk before returning to the capital and specially handed the Blood Jade Ring to Gemma, why didn’t she tell her the origin of the ring?
There’s something fishy about this!
“But…”
Dean, who had been silent, seemed to have remembered something.
Sean’s heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly asked, “But what?”
Dean tried to recall and frowned. “I remember your father mentioned that ring when we were drinking.”
“He said…”
“He said it has something to do with the Porter family.”
“At the time, we had drunk quite a bit, and he only mentioned it briefly. I didn’t pay too much attention, and I can’t remember it clearly.”
The Porter family??
Sean’s pupils suddenly shrank and he froze.
