Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Rare Treasure, Purple Moon Charm

Cecilia Vaughn looked up vaguely, only to feel her long, shawl-like hair being lifted by Adrian Law.

Almost the next moment, a strange yet warm sensation came from her neck.

What is this?

She looked down, and immediately a long necklace came into view.

The chain’s material was unknown, shining with a platinum-like silver color, and at the center of the necklace was a pendant with a pattern resembling a phoenix flower. The pendant was made of translucent light purple jade, exuding a lively glow under the light.

The specific material of the pendant was also unclear to Cecilia Vaughn. The Radiant Group was involved in the jewelry business, so naturally, she had some knowledge in this area. However, this pendant was very special, resembling both agate and warm jade, emanating a gentle warmth to the touch, with a faint heat when worn.

Cecilia Vaughn had to temporarily refer to it by color as "purple jade," which, although unprofessional, was fairly accurate.

...

Chloris thought that the dress from Master Sinclair was already the biggest surprise of the day, but when he saw the necklace Adrian Law was holding, he was shocked and took a step back.

This is...

Purple Moon Charm!

How many years had it been since he last saw this necklace?

In Chloris’s eyes appeared the ethereal figure of an unparalleled beauty...

He was already in his forties and had been mingling in the entertainment circle for years, having seen countless beauties. Yet, the woman who had left an indelible impression on him, who once seen could never be forgotten, was only one.

In the midnight dreams, she was still hard to forget.

—That was Adrian Law’s birth mother, Susan Roswell.

And this Purple Moon Charm was Susan Roswell’s exclusive accessory.

Despite not loving jewelry her whole life, the Purple Moon Charm was the only one she kept by her side constantly.

Susan Roswell was undeniably beautiful, as evident from Adrian Law’s good looks, yet Susan Roswell’s background was mysterious, almost as if she appeared out of thin air in Stellerton.

Many noble women pursued Frank Law back then, yet Frank Law married a woman with a mysterious background, shocking all the affluent families, mockingly saying Frank Law was clouded by beauty and married a commoner, diminishing his value.

Because Susan Roswell had no family backing, outsiders thought this Purple Moon Charm was a gift from Adrian Law’s father, but Chloris knew that Susan Roswell had this long before.

In his youthful exuberance, he too pursued Susan Roswell, and at that time, she was single, not knowing Frank Law, and already had this necklace with her.

...

Chloris lamented the changes over time, beauty fades, as Cecilia Vaughn looked at Chloris on the verge of speaking but stopping, misunderstanding something instantly. She clutched her clothes, looking somewhat conflictedly at Adrian Law.

"Adrian, this necklace, must be very precious, right?"

How wasteful could Adrian Law be!

Looking at the unmistakably extraordinary Purple Jade Necklace, inside she didn’t know whether to be happy that Adrian was willing to spend money on her or to agonize over how to correct Adrian’s wasteful habits of spending lavishly.

Seeing his young wife looking extremely pained at the extravagance, Adrian Law found it both amusing and helpless.

He gently wrapped his arms around Cecilia Vaughn’s shoulders.

"Cecilia, this pendant didn’t cost a penny, you can wear it without worry."

"Really?"

Cecilia Vaughn frowned, clearly not believing it at all.

Only then did Adrian Law smile and add a remark.

"This necklace is called Purple Moon Charm, it’s my mother’s relic, and she wanted to leave it as a greeting gift to her future daughter-in-law, passed down from generation to generation, so it’s most suitable for you to keep it."

Purple Moon Charm?

The name of this necklace was indeed pleasant and quite apt.

Cecilia Vaughn was stunned for a moment before reacting, wait, this was something belonging to Adrian Law’s mother?

She inexplicably felt that the Purple Moon Charm became even more scorching, and promptly lowered her head in extreme embarrassment.

"The last time at The Law Residence, Grandma already gave me a greeting gift, this one looks even more expensive, maybe I shouldn’t take it?"

The jade bracelet Stacy Summers gave her last time was also of great quality, and she felt guilty enough accepting it. Now with another one, she truly feared she wouldn’t be able to handle it.

...

There are actually people who dislike having too many gifts!

His Cecilia really was unique.

Adrian Law found Cecilia Vaughn increasingly adorable as he looked at her, a gentle smile slowly appearing on his lips.

"Grandma’s gift is Grandma’s, and my mother’s is different, you should accept it, not doing so would let down my mother’s intentions."

Originally, the Purple Moon Charm was meant to be given to Cecilia Vaughn on their marriage registration day, but it was too busy then, and he always thought of finding a better opportunity. Now, pairing the Purple Moon Charm with Master Sinclair’s specially tailored dress couldn’t be more appropriate.

With the words said up to this point, and a big hat of filial piety unwittingly placed over her, Cecilia Vaughn had no choice but to accept.

...

Seeing the two of them acting so affectionate, Chloris felt like he was almost going to cough up blood.

Showcasing love isn’t supposed to be like this!

Couldn’t The Eldest Young Master Law be considerate of his feelings, as a single forty-something bachelor?

He was being fed dog food to the fullest! 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Chloris harbored a grudge in his heart and lightly coughed to dispel the sweet bubbles that the two were emitting.

"The Eldest Young Master Law, since Miss Vaughn now has jewelry that complements her, everything is ready, only lacking the wind from the east, so let me start with Miss Vaughn’s makeup, afterwhich, only a pair of shoes needs to be chosen to complete the whole look."

"Alright."

Seeing Adrian Law nod slightly, Chloris began his work.

Cecilia Vaughn had excellent skin and exquisite facial features, which, coupled with the dress, gave her an even more ethereal aura. Therefore, Chloris decided to create a fresh makeup base without a strong presence for her.

The final effect was indeed stunning, but Cecilia Vaughn was almost dying of depression.

This seemingly naturally transparent makeup look actually had her sitting in the chair for two and a half hours!

Such effort for a light makeup, this was more troublesome than a heavy one!

Inwardly, she felt exasperated, yet Adrian Law was very satisfied, finally picking out a pair of silver pointed high heels for her, perfectly complementing today’s look.

Thinking that tomorrow was the Vaughn family’s engagement banquet and that all this effort would need to be repeated, Cecilia Vaughn felt a chill in her heart.

All beauty indeed comes at a price!

...

Adrian Law naturally noticed Cecilia Vaughn’s gloominess, so to reward her, he personally prepared a very sumptuous dinner that evening.

Steamed silver cod fish, cola chicken wings, tomato egg drop soup, plus pan-fried beef tenderloin with oyster sauce.

Cecilia Vaughn ate with great enjoyment, and Mimi, the furry ball, perhaps attracted by the aroma of fish, crawled up to the table, its mismatched eyes pitifully looking at them.

Adrian Law smiled and handed it a small bowl containing a boneless piece of silver cod fish, and Mimi happily gnawed at it without hesitation.

The two of them and a cat, perhaps this was the tranquility of time.

...

However, what was destined to come could not be stopped.

After a sleep, the day of Fiona Vaughn and Tyson Law’s engagement ceremony arrived...
