Alex’s words had barbs in them and Candice pursed her lips, not responding.

The items Alex’s grandfather had given her were all worth at least five figures, even if they were

just small trinkets. There was a bracelet among them, and Candice didn’t know if Alex still

remembered it.

That was the year when the old man’s health had taken a sudden turn for the worse, and Alex had

taken Candice along with him. The old man had taken out a bracelet in front of Alex and given it to Candice, saying it had been left by Alex’s grandmother for her future granddaughter–in–law.

He had been afraid that he would not live to see them get married, so he had given it to Candice. She had been a bit hesitant to accept it, but Alex had accepted it on her behalf.

Candice had always looked after the bracelet, and this time, while organizing her things, she had remembered to take it out to return it to the old man. Since she was not the Elysian family’s granddaughter–in–law, it was not appropriate for her to keep the bracelet.

Holding the box, Candice did not want to argue with Alex over this issue again. Originally she had just been worried about hurting the old man’s feelings. But keeping these things in her possession made her feel uneasy.

“I will find a chance to return it to him myself,” she said softly.

Alex snorted. There was no expression in his dark, deep eyes, and his jaw was tense.

At the moment Alex’s grandfather was staying at the Elysian manor. Knowing that Candice and Helen’s relationship was not good, he had suggested meeting Candice at a private restaurant.

When they arrived, he was already waiting for them. Seeing Alex and Candice, he waved kindly.

“Candy, come over and take a seat.”

Candice hesitated for a moment but went over obediently. “Grandpa, are you feeling well?”

The old man took a gift bag from the caregiver beside him and handed it to Candice. His hair was gray and he smiled at her. “Look at the little gift Grandpa brought for you. When I saw this. I immediately thought of you.”

Candice opened up the jewelry box inside the bag. It contained a set of exquisite emerald jewelry with excellent color and clarity. Candice hesitated. “This is too precious.”

Old Mr. Elysian turned and looked up at Alex beside him and said with displeasure,
