Chapter 167 Notification Sound, Gold Coins Received.
Jude didn't expect Celia actually to go to Orchid Garden. He intentionally provoked her with these words through the nanny, Mary, also showing his attitude. In any case, he approved of this daughter-in-law.
Celia was so angry that she didn't even want to have dinner, so she called Jude.
On The Orchid Garden.
Upon seeing Celia's call, Jude immediately hung up with a grin, saying to Finnegan in front of him, "Your mother should be worried."
Finnegan did express nothing.
Upstairs.
Old Abbott took out an exquisite big box in mystery and said, "Granddaughter-in-law, guess what this is?"
Ophe couldn't figure it out, shaking her head and saying, "Granny, I don't know."
Old Abbott smiled and opened the box, presenting it to Ophe like a treasure. "This is for you. It's a wedding gift to you and Finnegan."
Ophe's eyes widened in surprise upon seeing the gem necklace in the box.
It was the gem necklace in reality. She could watch clearly, which was all blood red, made of rubies.
"Granny, this..." Ophe touched it, feeling its coldness. The color and texture were both very beautiful.
Ophe didn't understand gems, but she could guess that this ruby was worth more than the Orchid Garden villa.
Old Abbott's face carried a sense of regret, longing, and being lost in memories as she said, "This was the wedding gift your grandfather gave me when we got married. I've treasured it for over fifty years. I still remember it now. When your grandfather gave me away, he cried with tears streaming down his face. This ruby was initially meant to symbolize our union, but it has transformed into my wedding present."
Ophe was getting confused hearing these. It was either a wedding present or a symbol of union. 'Could it be that the grandfather Old Abbott was talking about was not Finnegan's grandfather?' She speculated.
While thinking about this, Old Abbott held Ophe's hand and carefully looked at her, seeming to be looking through her at someone else with murky and aged eyes.
"Niamh, you really look like your grandfather, especially these eyes. Your grandfather also had a pair of eyes as beautiful as these. When he looked at me, those eyes were especially tender and passionate. He, for me, would even sacrifice his life. If a woman could have such a man for her whole life, she would have no regrets."
Originally, Old Abbott referred to Niamh's grandfather, but Old Abbott mistook her identity and recognized her as Niamh.
To be precise, Old Abbott didn't recognize her as Niamh but as the aristocratic lady of the Parks Family.
Even if Niamh was standing in front of her, she didn't know.
In Old Abbott's mind, Finnegan married the noblewoman of the Parks Family.
Old Abbott had Alzheimer's disease, sometimes not even recognizing her son but constantly remembering Uncle Abbott, with memories becoming clearer.
Ophe couldn't help but be curious about Uncle Abbott's character, why Old Abbott had cherished him for a lifetime, and their story.
It must have been passionate and regretful.
Old Abbott talked a lot to Ophe, and then they went downstairs to have dinner.
Finnegan and Ophe sat together while Old Abbott and Jude sat on the other side. It was the first time Ophe had dinner with the elders of the Abbott Family. She was an orphan and had never experienced what it was like to have a meal with a family.
Ophe had mixed feelings in her heart and felt it was quite nice.
Jude suddenly smiled and said, "Ophe, pour me a cup of coffee."
He wanted to drink the coffee Ophe made.
Finnegan gave Ophe a signal, and Ophe understood. Just then, Lina brought a cup of coffee. Ophe took it and stood up, handing it to Jude with both hands, and said, "Dad, please have some coffee."
It was the daughter-in-law's coffee and also a change in how she addressed him.
After Ophe grew up, it was the first time she had called him "dad," so it was inevitably a bit awkward.
"Yes," Jude smiled and responded, taking a sip of coffee. He then transferred money to Ophe through his phone. He had transferred money to Ophe before, so he had her account number.
After the transfer, Jude smiled and said, "Ophe, take a look at the text message. It is just a gift. I hope you and Little Finnegan will have a good life together and give a new baby to Abbott's Family soon."
Ophe received a notification on her phone, and the money was credited.
This time, Jude generously transferred seven million seven hundred and seventy-seven thousand to Ophe, a very promising number.
Except for Celia, who didn't approve of Ophe, both Jude and Old Abbott approved of her.
Whether it was the gift or the money for the change in address, it was all recognition of Ophe.
Ophe was deeply moved and finally understood why so many people were willing to marry into wealthy families. It was truly amazing. Just with a flick of the wrist, the money that slipped through their fingers was sufficient to last a lifetime.
Seraphina, who wanted to marry into a wealthy family, came to Magnus' house to pack up the remaining luggage. She was extremely surprised when she found out that Ophe and Finnegan had obtained their marriage certificate. She exclaimed, "Magnus, are you joking? How could Finnegan marry Ophe?"
