Chapter 340: Mrs. Seys, You Can’t Escape in This Lifetime!
Arriving at Era, Arlo Seys called Ariel Morris into the office."Ariel, open it and take a look." Arlo handed the jewelry box to Ariel.
"Okay." Ariel opened the jewelry box, and what caught her eye was a silver bracelet.
The silver wasn’t particularly bright, carrying a rustic dimness. The patterns on it were also quite ancient, clearly a piece with some age.
"This silver bracelet is very special, it seems quite vintage." Ariel said with a smile.
Arlo walked to her side, took the bracelet from her hand, and gently slid it onto her left wrist.
Ariel’s eyes held surprise. Was this a gift from Arlo to her?
Arlo smiled slightly, looking at Ariel, "This is a Seys Family heirloom bracelet, passed only to the eldest daughter-in-law. This bracelet was given to my mother by my grandmother, and now it belongs to you."
Ariel’s eyes shone brightly and purely, her fingers touched the ancient silver bracelet, and her smile deepened.
Arlo took up her left wrist, his gaze resting on the scar there, eyes filled with tenderness, his voice low and heavy, "Ariel, I will never forget how this scar came to be. It represents your love for me, even at great danger. From now on, I will protect you with my life, until the end of time."
"Ariel, from this moment forward, you are part of the Seys Family, my wife."
"In the future, this bracelet will be passed down by you to our daughter-in-law, generation after generation."
Ariel nodded with a smile, her eyes warm and glowing, "I really like this bracelet."
Arlo smiled faintly, his eyes flowing with emotion, "’Lock of Love’ necklace declared you as mine, and this bracelet signifies you are acknowledged by the Seys Family. Different objects, the same meaning, that is —— Mrs. Seys, you’re bound to be my wife, forever and ever."
"So, am I a married woman now?"
Arlo nodded, confidently replied, "Yes, from now on, besides me, you should treat all other men as nothing, just automatically filter them out."
Ariel laughed, "What if there are women eyeing you?"
"Mrs. Seys, you’re neither gentle nor timid, you can step up and act. If anything happens, I’ll handle the aftermath." Arlo replied with a serious face.
Ariel laughed heartily, "So, you’re in charge of being handsome while I deal with fighting? But don’t worry, I usually don’t lose fights."
Arlo gave her a sidelong glance, his eyes sparkling, "Mrs. Seys, did you think I taught you those self-defense moves for nothing when we were young? If a catfight scene like at Nico’s birthday party happens, remember, don’t hold back!"
Ariel’s laughter was radiant, her eyes lively, dimples blooming, exuding an incomparable elegance.
Arlo watched, his eyes shining brighter, lowered his head and kissed her forehead. It was gentle and tender, filled with enduring love.
A gentle blush flooded Ariel’s face, her eyes slightly lowered, catching sight of a bracelet on Arlo’s left wrist.
"This is----" Ariel exclaimed, lifting Arlo’s hand, her eyes filled with surprise, unable to speak.
Arlo glanced at his left wrist, his voice warm and pleasant, "Did you forget? This is what you gave me when we were young."
"How could I forget!" Ariel exclaimed happily, grabbing Arlo’s wrist, muttering: "This ’thousand knots’ bracelet, it took me a whole week to grind each bead. I didn’t sleep well for a week, day and night working on it."
Arlo’s eyes sparkled brightly, teasing, "The engagement token from Mrs. Seys back then was truly unique."
The thousand paper cranes, the ’thousand knots’ bracelet, the paper planes, every single piece he had kept. Just this morning, he went back to the Seys Family’s old house to gather these things.
