When Geoffrey learned that Isolde’s marriage was going to be held carly, and it was in a hurry with only two
days to prepare, he was very melancholic.
There were no longer any women in the residence who could take charge. He could not arrange this marriage
alone.
Fortunately, Queen Mother sent Rosemary, Judith, and Rowena to leave the palace to prepare for Isolde.
Geoffrey was secretly suspicious. Why does Queen Mother suddenly becso concerned about Isolde’s
marriage?
He returned to the study and took out the jewelry box he had snatched back from the storeroom.
It belonged to Prunella.
Prunella had once said that she had to leave her best for her child.
If she gave birth to a daughter, she would give her this set of jewels as an engagement gift. If it was a son, then
it would be for his future wife.
This was Prunella’s wish; it was her blessing for her child.
“But how should | give it to her? Will she accept it?” After pondering for a long time, Geoffrey still cto the
Pearl Tower with the jewelry box that he had snatched from under Priscilla’s body.
He hesitated outside the door for a long time, looking inside, but he didn’t dare to go in.
Ehad already seen him peeking outside and thought he would cin, but after a while, he was still
outside.
Ewent to Isolde and said, “Geoffrey is outside, holding a jewelry box. | wonder if he’s here to gift you
something.”
Judith, who had cto help, heard this and said, “Geoffrey is here? Then we should hurry up and invite him in.
He really is too much. Does he have to pay so much attention to details when visiting his own daughter's room?”
Judith didn’t know about the internal affairs of the Duke’s estate, which showed that the Queen Mother indeed
seldom interfered in the domestic matters of her subjects. Otherwise, with such a big commotion in the Duke’s
estate, Mystic Palace would surely have heard srumors.
Isolde smiled slightly and said, “Yes, Esme, please invite my father in.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe smile on Isolde’s face was extremely faint, with a barely noticeable cold glint flashing in her eyes.
Ewalked out and stood in front of Geoffrey.
Ehad persuaded Geoffrey many times, so when Geoffrey saw her this time, he felt a little guilty.
Elooked at his evasive expression but didn’t show any surprise. She just said, “Since you're already here, go
in.”
Geoffrey peeked inside and saw Judith and Rowena discussing something in front of the corridor, and behind
them was a light blue figure.

He didn’t continue looking and handed the jewelry box to Esme, carnestly saying, “Please give it to Isolde. Just
tell her they are from her mother. | can’t go in.”
Esme’s expression softened slightly. “Since you're here to give her a gift, you should go in. How can a parent's
belongings be handed over by someone else? It's also a blessing. There's only one chance. If you miss it, there
won't be another one. You missed many chances before. This time, don’t let yourself regret it.”
Geoffrey looked at Ewith a complicated gaze. He recalled that Ehad advised him twice to treat Isolde
well, but he did not listen.
Now that she said that again, he was
truly filled with regret.
Eis right. Isolde will only get married once in her life, even if Oliver has died. Since she has chosen it, |
should cherish this chance. This was the blessing her mother had given her, thought Geoffrey.
“Alright, I'll go in and give it to her myself. After all, it belongs to her mother.” His voice was very loud, afraid that
Isolde could not hear him.
He was afraid that once he entered, Isolde would chase him out without any explanation.
It was not that he was afraid of being disgraced or hurt by Isolde’s sharp words, but he was afraid that he would
not be able to give Prunella’s gift to Isolde.
Rosemary was inside, checking the wedding list, when she saw Geoffrey coming in. She said to Isolde in a faint
tone, “The wedding is important!”
Isolde nodded. “I know!”
What was important was not just the wedding, but also the war.
Before going to war, one should not say harsh or biting words, do rebellious things, or utter ominous remarks.
This was almost a superstition among military officers.
Rosemary stood up and said to Judith and Rowena, “Please check the wedding list and the gifts one more time,
and then have someone clean up a storeroom to temporarily put them aside. When Isolde gets married, takes all
the gifts that everyone has sent as her wedding gifts.”
The two of them listened to Rosemary and went to work.
Rosemary looked back and saw that Geoffrey had already gone in. The sun’s shadow shone on his back,
flickering.
Rosemary's face was filled with sarcasm. “You don’t know what you're talking about!”
When Isolde saw him coming, she did not stand up or say anything. She only picked up the bracelet in front of
her.
Her good days were just around the corner. Although she did not say anything vicious, it did not mean that she
would care about these outsiders.
Geoffrey quietly placed the jewelry box on the table and pushed it in front of Isolde. He said softly, “These are
your wedding gifts left by your mother. She said when she was pregnant with you that if she gave birth to a
daughter, the jewelry would be for her as a wedding gift, and that if it was a son, then it would be for his wife.”
Isolde said indifferently, “Thank you!”

Geoffrey was a little surprised. He had thought that she would not want it, or that even if she did, she would first
say sharsh words to insult him. He did not expect her to say thank you.
He was excited for a moment and thought that the unpleasant things from before had passed.
He looked at Isolde with a relaxed and happy smile on his face. “Open it and see what Prunella left for you and if
you like it.”
Isolde said coldly. “There's no need. Since my mother gave it to me, I'll just take a look myself later.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I know you resent me, even hate me. But no matter what, | am your father after all. | hope you will be well. This
wedding is hasty. Although the groom-to-be has died, after you get married and move out from here, you
probably won't cback. | feel...”
Isolde interrupted him coldly, “What are you trying to say? Don’t talk nonsense and say that you can’t bear to
part with me.”
Isolde could not talk to him calmly, so she did not say anything and went in with the jewelry box.
Geoffrey was left standing on the spot with a disappointed and frustrated expression. It was unknown if he was
crying or smiling bitterly.
No one cforward to comfort him. The people from the Pearl Tower had long given up on him. He had
suspected Isolde and cto his senses again and again; no one knew if he was truly regretting to treat Isolde
like that.
Geoffrey was disappointed for a long tbefore slowly leaving.
Isolde entered the room and closed the door.
Staring at the jewelry box, she felt that it was very sacred even though it had taken Priscilla’s life.
When she opened the box, it was filled with expensive jewelry.
Among them, there was a complete set of jewelry so beautiful that it captured people's attention and they
couldn't look away.
These were all left behind by her mother.
In the past, she had to rely on her imagination to imagine what her mother would look like. Now, her mother had
gifted her when she got married.
Isolde smiled gently. She caressed the translucent emerald on the jewelry set with her fingers and felt extremely
happy.
