Marriage And Love Again

Maisy and Ruby had thought it over again and again before they finally made up their minds to pick the present for Suny. It was a set of the Starlight Series jewelry that ST launched five years ago. Each set of jewelry consisted of a piece of diamond necklace and a pair of earrings or earbobs. Every set of jewelry was themed with starlight but of different designs. It meant that the necklaces and earrings were unique in the world. So far, ST had only launched eighteen sets, and each set was sold at a price of above three million dollars.

Maisy had looked into Suny earlier. She was raised and grew up in one of those very ordinary families though she had married Austin later. Every woman was into jewelry! Things like handbags were difficult to choose from, but they were sure that a diamond necklace was a perfect choice for any occasion. And it was very expensive, which would show Charlie how generous they had been to Suny!

Surely, Maisy and Ruby had another thought in mind. They both thought Maisy had grown up in a very difficult background and they believed she would be very surprised at the diamond jewelry, even if she was a greedy person.

They had been on pins and needles since they found out Suny’s real identity yesterday. Maisy happened to know from her friends that it was Suny’s birthday yesterday since Austin had carried out a very high-key celebration for Suny. She had planned to come over yesterday but she gave it a second thought right before she left. Suny came here from J City on purpose and she must celebrate her birthday with the Murphy Family. If she went over yesterday, she might be disliked and rejected, so she had to make it today.

“I’ll take a look at it, then.” Suny smiled lightly.

Maisy and Ruby were really confident. Suny also wanted to know what present it was to have made them be so sure that she would like it.

The gift box was of top grade. Though Maisy’s family was not as rich as the Murphy Family, they were far richer than those fairly well-off families. The present they had picked must be expensive.

There was no doubt of it.

Suny opened the box very slowly and the others in the living room were waiting for her to open it.

Maisy wished desperately to open the box herself when she saw Suny doing it so slowly. But Charlie was standing beside them and she had no choice but to suffer it.

She opened the box and saw the designated box of the sunlight series jewelry of KT. Suny couldn’t help raising her head to glance at Maisy.

It seemed that she had underestimated Maisy and the others. Indeed, it was an expensive present!

Suny had given a set of jewelry of the same series to Alicia as a present. The designer made three sets per year and there had been only eighteen sets of this series so far in the whole world. At that time, it cost her an arm and a leg to get one for Alicia.

No wonder Maisy wanted her to open the gift box!

Suny focused and raised her hands to open the box.

The diamond necklace was really dazzling. It was glittering in the sunlight and it was easy to tell it was super expensive.

Maisy and Ruby were staring at Suny’s face. But Suny didn’t look excited even when she had seen the necklace and the earrings in the box.

“Suny, you don’t like it, do you?” Maisy didn’t believe it.

“Yes. It’s so beautiful. I like it very much.” Suny looked at her.

She said in a low but sincere tone. However, she didn’t look surprised at all, which was totally out of the expectation of Maisy and Ruby.

Ruby smiled awkwardly, “We didn’t have much time to prepare the presentation. I’ve planned to give this set of jewelry to Maisy as her wedding present. I didn’t know it was your birthday yesterday and I thought all girls are into such dazzling and glittering things, so I gave it to you. But I don’t know they are not your thing.”

“It’s very kind of you, Mrs. Murphy. But the present is too expensive. I can’t take it.” Suny closed the box.

Then she moved the box to Ruby.

“Suny can’t take it since it is Maisy’s wedding gift,” Charlie said.

In fact, Ruby was just acting, but she didn’t expect Suny would return the present easily like that.

“It’s OK. Mum said that Suny is more beautiful than me. She looks better with the necklace.” Maisy tried to fix it.

Saying that Maisy pretended to be nice and complained to Suny, “See, Suny. My mother likes you so much since she has only met you twice. I am jealous now.”

“Maybe Mrs. Murphy likes the beautiful ones only.”

Suny smiled and answered slowly.

Maisy and Ruby found it hard to keep the ball rolling. They didn’t know what to say in reply.

It was lunchtime. The housekeeper stepped over to remind them.

Maisy and her parents were invited to join them for lunch. They did enjoy the meal. Maisy tried to chat up to Suny on many topics but Suny just kept fobbing her off.

Later Maisy realized that Suny didn’t want to talk to her, then she stopped it.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Suny’s plane was scheduled at 2:40 pm. After lunch, Robert drove her to the airport himself.

Suny had left. Maisy and her parents had no more excuses to stay.

Before they left, Lily returned the present to Maisy, “Suny said it’s too expensive and she can’t take it. She’s thankful for your kindness. Just take the present back.”

They had turned it down twice. Maisy and Ruby had no choice but to take the present back.

They were on the way home. Maisy began complaining, “Mum, Suny is too arrogant! I’ve kept my head down in front of her, but she still ignored me!”

Ruby had been through tough times too, but she was older and more experienced than Maisy, “You said she would be surprised to receive this set of jewelry. But it turned out that you were wrong. She wasn’t excited at all. Really, it didn’t touch her.”

“Maybe she was just pretending!” Maisy snorted.

“Can you do the same?”

Ruby had fixed her eyes on Suny. She was sure that Suny didn’t pay a second look at it when and after she opened the box.

Donald, who was driving, spoke, “Well, don’t forget that Suny is the strong shareholder of two companies, no matter how. Of course, three million dollars is a big sum of money, but she has more!”

Donald spoke to the point! Maisy pursed her lips. She had to unwillingly admit that Suny wasn’t lacking in money.

“It seems that it is difficult to draw Suny to our side.” Ruby sighed.

They thought that it would be easier to start with Suny, but they didn’t expect Suny was so difficult to deal with.

Suny didn’t give Maisy’s family a shit. What lingered on her mind was how she was going to tell Charlie that she was actually a millionaire.

Before she left, Charlie gave her a bank card, saying it was her pocket money. He said it as if she was living poor. It was the second sum of money that Charlie had given her.

“Will I scare grandpa if I tell him directly that I’ve got plenty of money, Robert?”

Robert, who was driving beside her, thought a bit, “Not really. But he’ll feel distressed for you even more.”

Aged people just liked to imagine.

“I see.”

Robert stopped at the red light and turned to glance at her, “It’s grandpa’s birthday in half a month. I think you should spend more time thinking about which partner you’ll take.”

Suny was embarrassed. She turned her head to look at Robert, “then who’ll be your partner?”

Come on! Just diss each other.
