Chapter 399: Visiting His Family
"Alright, Miss, please follow me," the servant said politely.
Ella stood up calmly, assuming that whatever Lucas had prepared for her would be related to her mother, Isabella.
When they reached the study, the servant handed over a few items: an old bracelet and a thick stack of documents.
Ella glanced through them and quickly realized they detailed the transfer of ownership for several chain stores in Country W. Although the documents weren’t finalized yet, the intent was clear.
Feeling exasperated, Ella muttered to herself. She had no need for such things.
"That bracelet," Lucas said as he entered the study, his gaze softening as it fell on the item, "was sent to me by your mother. At the time, she was worried her family would give me a hard time and refuse to let me bring any gifts when I went to propose. So, she secretly mailed it to me."
The bracelet was a relic from the 1970s, its carvings not particularly intricate but made of pure silver. It wasn’t the most valuable piece of jewelry, but it held deep sentimental value.
Ella carefully picked it up and slipped it onto her wrist, her movements tender.
"I plan to transfer some of my stores and other properties to you..." Lucas began.
"No need, thank you. I don’t lack money," Ella interrupted, shaking her head. Her gaze lingered on his pleading eyes.
For some reason, she held back from saying anything harsh. "Luke is your adopted son. Treat him as your own, and leave it at that. I don’t care about these things. I only want this bracelet, something of my mother’s."
