CHAPTER 612 AN UNEXPECTED PRESENT

Chapter 612 An Unexpected Present

Looking at the jade bangle Cian gave, Hannah felt quite puzzled.

It was such an unexpected present to be given by Cian instead of Oscar.

Would it be appropriate for her to take this bangle? Hannah hesitated.

"Don't you like it?" Cian appeared to be a bit frustrated.

"Sure I do. But it is of special value that once belonged to your mother when she was alive after all, I..."

Hannah was deeply moved, but she wasn't sure if she could take it or not, and how to refuse it.

She had suffered a lot when she was coldly treated by Charles's family in her previous life.

But in her reborn life, not only was she warmly welcomed by the Wells family in Kensbury City, but

Oscar's brother, Cian, who was now also so friendly to her, made her so humbled.

"That's why I give it to you." Cian took her hand and gave it to her without hesitation.

The bracelet felt a bit cold, but the touch of it was soft, as if the warmth was conveyed by its last

master, making Hannah somehow want to cry.

"No one dared to take my parents back from the sea after they died. Later, my aunt made a tombstone

for them in a hidden place on this island, where there were only their remains buried, except for this

jade bangle. It is a family heirloom, as my brother said, and it shall be given to my future wife." Cian

said.

Hearing this, Hannah intended to give it back to Cian. She could not take it, because it since this

bangle was for Cian's wife.

"Take it. I have my reason for it. The relationship between my girlfriend and I is benefit-oriented and we

don't love each other. You know, I'm rich, so I can buy her lots of luxuries." Cian suddenly started to

show off.

Hannah nodded. She couldn't deny that this guy looked indeed rich.

"The rest of my family's possessions are much bigger than the average sort of people. When my family

was to be exterminated back then, my grandfather secretly took away a lot of priceless antiques and

gold bars with him which later supported the development of family businesses in various fields over

generations and contributed to my current wealth." Said Cian, "By the way, do you know that half the

fortune of the Wells family in Kensbury belongs to my brother?"

Much to her surprise, Hannah didn't know it at all. She thought Oscar was only an adopted child from

that family.

"The Wells family didn't possess so much fortune before until my parents sent my brother to their family

and came to their assistance. We once contributed to the glorious history of the Wells family. You know,

David and Thomas work for him most of the time. Don't be stressed, they are willing to do so or the

Wells family would have disappeared without my brother."

She didn't doubt what he was saying because she knew clearly that Oscar was truly welcomed by the

Wells family judging from their behaviour. However, at the same time, Karen came to her mind. No

wonder Karen kept an eye on Oscar-she was not his sister in blood.

"I think I've gone slightly off-topic." Cian sounded a bit sorry and he continued, "My mother loved my

brother quite a lot when she was alive, though there was a time when my brother hated staying with

them since she and my father didn't offer him much loving attention. The only time for them to gather

together was when he was sent here for those training classes. But I know they feel sorry for him. Her

guilt did not allow her to show up at my brother's training, so all she could do was only silently watch

the boat he was in going afar. I can never forget when my mother stood still in the rain, staring at the

boat. I can never forget her grief, sadness, silence, and compromise..."

Hannah's mind was flooded with the picture of her mother at that time.

"Please keep this bangle well. I believe my mother will do the same for the woman her sons loved."

Cian said, leaving no reason for Hannah to refuse it.

Finally, Hannah took it. What she planned was to keep this bangle herself first, and if Cian didn't want

to give it to his future wife, she would then give it to his offspring, such as daughters or daughters-in-

law.

"Wait, you have a girlfriend, right?" Hannah asked.

Cian talked little about his girlfriend.

"Sure. Will it be possible for me to be single still at such an age?"

Hannah smiled. She did enjoy her time chatting with Cian.

"Well, I mean, I haven't even seen her. You are only 22?" Hannah asked. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Cian was 4 years younger than Oscar, so he was supposed to be 22. He was a year younger than she

was then.

"I am. It's been years since I became an adult from 18 to 22! Aren't you getting married to my brother at

22?" Cian retorted.

Well, he won.

"As for my girlfriend, she seldom comes for a visit. We are more like business partners without love.

And we only get together for sex..."

"Well well." Hannah choked.

"Sorry," Cian gave a bright smile, "I've got used to this way of speaking since I got along with

Theodore."

"Never mind."

"She doesn't know the complex relationships in my family, so I can't introduce her to you for the time

being," Cian said.

"It's okay. I'm just chatting. "

"But I'm surprised that my brother told you everything to you. I once expected only when we succeed

would he do it. The life we chose must be full of blood. Won't he be afraid that you cannot accept it?

More importantly, won't he be worried that you would ruin it all if you were on the opposite side?"

Hannah felt a bit awkward answering that question. She never thought Oscar would have such a

glorious family background when she first investigated him. All she only expected was that Oscar would

be an ordinary child of the Wells family rather than a royal descendant.

She wouldn't have forced him to tell her the truth if she had known.

How trustful she was to Oscar that he told her everything! By contrast, she appeared to be pretty mean

when she felt down about his concealing.

"Whatever, it can only explain how deeply my brother is into you. Anyway, whoever my brother loves

and trusts, I'll give the same. So sister-in-law..."
