Obedience No More He's the One I Deserved novel Chapter 201

This time, the meeting between both families went much smoother than expected.

Tara and Sandra prepared dinner together, and in just a short while, they were chatting like real sisters, even agreeing to take a walk in the garden afterward.

Ethan played chess with Harry, while Dawn stayed with Jessica.

Jessica pulled her into the room, looking mysterious.

"Dawn, Grandma already prepared your wedding gift a long time ago. Want to know what it is?"

Dawn never thought about getting a gift from Jessica, but she still smiled and asked, "What is it?"

"Of course, something good."

Jessica moved aside a painting on the wall, revealing a hidden compartment.

Inside was a large cabinet that looked like it carried decades of history.

Two boxes sat inside, perfectly placed.

It was too heavy for Grandma, so Dawn helped her move them out.

Clapping her hands, Jessica opened one of them and said, "You might not have seen these before, but I've been saving them for you for a long, long time. Even if you don't like them, they're yours."

With a snap, the wooden cabinet opened.

Dawn gasped when she saw what was inside.

Neatly stacked gold bars filled the box completely. She did not know how much it weighed, but it looked like a collection preserved since at least the World War II Era.

"Even though my birth family is gone now, back in my day, we were considered a distinguished, scholarly household. What a shame ... "

Times had shifted in the blink of an eye.

Thinking of the past, Jessica's gaze turned wistful.

It took Dawn a long while to snap out of it. She quickly shook her head. "Grandma, you've kept these for so long, I can't take them."

"Why not?"

Jessica disagreed immediately, shooting her a glare. "They were always meant for you. Otherwise, I would've sold them ages ago."

"But ... "

"No buts."

Jessica's voice was firm. "From the day you entered this family, I've treated you like my own granddaughter. No matter who you married, or whether you stayed with this family, I always planned this for you."

"Grandma ... "

Dawn was overwhelmed with emotion.

How could she deserve this kind of deep love?

"If you really want to repay me, then just have a little baby sooner. Let me hold my great-grandchild while I'm still around. Then my life would be complete."

Her eyes shimmered slightly as she closed the box. "Leave this here for now. When you head out, remember to take it with you. For now, Grandma has another question."
