"It's just a stone. As long as you like it, it's okay." Daniel smiled, it was just as she had said to Finney the other day.
Her lips curled up.
She had said that on purpose that day in order to save his face.
But the value between the two stones were vastly different.
Even if she worked hard her entire life, she would never be able to afford this stone.
It wasn't a big deal to him because he was rich!
"Well... Should I prepare some gifts for your family?" she spoke in a small voice, mostly because of how little money she had. She didn't even have enough money to buy a nice gift for her rich parents-in-law.
Daniel stroked her head in a comforting manner. "Don't worry. I have everything we need."
She breathed a sigh of relief. That was good. After all, he knew his parents' likes best.
The next noon, they both arrived at Dragon City.
While sitting in the car, Sonia looked out of the window and into the busy street.
Fifteen years had passed since she left this city.
As the most powerful international financial center in the eastern region, it not only had a rich cultural background, but it also developed very quickly.
Daniel's family's house was situated near the mountain and right beside the river. It was a hundred-year-old house.
In Sonia's memory, she knew that her original family had a large house, but the villa of Daniel's family was even larger. It was just like a grand wonderland.
After they entered the gate, it took a while before they finally saw the antique mansion.
The butler, Uncle Leonard, was waiting for them at the door.
"Mr. Daniel, you are back. Mrs. Elizabeth and Miss Valery heard that you were coming back and both of them are waiting for you in the hall." Uncle Leonard took a closer look at Sonia and gave Daniel a meaningful look. His look seemed to be a reminder for his master to be cautious.
Daniel nodded at him with a smile and took Sonia's hand. "Uncle Leonard, this is my lady."
'My lady?'
He was utterly shocked. His eyes darted around the house.
Mr. Daniel was married?
'Oh my God! Things are going to go out of control now!' he thought.
"Hello, Uncle Leonard," Sonia greeted him politely.
"Hello, my lady," Uncle Leonard replied with a smile.
The main house of Daniel's family was a one hundred years old house and was still in the Republic style.
Just then, a ray of sunshine shone on Sonia's hands through the big glass window, and the huge heart-shaped diamond on her hand glimmered brightly in the light. Everyone in the room gasped in disbelief.
"Is that the family ring?" Mary exclaimed as the corner of her mouth twitched slightly. That ring was given to Daniel by his grandmother on her 60th birthday. Mary, herself, never even had the chance to wear it, but now, her son had evidently given it to someone else.
With the same composed and gentle expression on his face, Albert's eyes darkened. Albert was Daniel's father.
Valery suddenly jumped up as if she had just been stabbed by a needle. If she had a knife with her, she would have rushed over and cut off the tramp's finger.
Why was she wearing the ring?
How could she be wearing the ring?
That one of a kind treasure belonged to the future hostess of the family, and that was none other than herself.
A crack appeared on Elizabeth's calm face, and a muscle on her face started twitching violently. Was Daniel actually telling the truth or was it just revenge for her daughter's impulsive actions last time?
Elizabeth took a sip of her tea and said slowly, "Dan, your grandfather personally made an engagement for you and Valery when you were eleven years old. Over the years, we've been very strict with Valery, and we never even allowed her to have a boyfriend. We've done our best to keep this promise. Even though you haven't had an official wedding ceremony, you are a real couple already. In fact, you are going to have a baby soon. Shouldn't you restrain your playful behavior?"
Daniel took a seat on the sofa with Sonia, then he picked up a porcelain cup from the table and took a sip of tea. "Aunt Elizabeth, if I'm not mistaken, grandpa wanted me to marry your family's third daughter Cathy. She is the one who got engaged to me. But after she left with her mother later on, you and Mommy made the decision to have your daughter take her place. So, if I really wanted to follow through with grandpa's promise, then I would have to find the third daughter of your family and marry her."
Before he even finished his words, Sonia, who was sitting next to him, choked heavily. She felt like she had been burnt to ashes by a thunder that had struck her from above her head.
What? Was it her?
The third daughter?
Did she hear it wrong?
