As soon as Martha and Mikayla heard Aurora’s words, they became even more nervous.
Neither of them did it right away, but each turned to look at their men.
Douglas and Ash shared a rare expression of tenderness and affection, motioning for them to open it for themselves.
Martha and Mikayla opened the box and saw a jade bracelet inside.
Even if Mikayla did not have any research in this area, judging from the quality of this jade bracelet, it was not difficult to see that this was extremely valuable.
After all, Martha had been working with Douglas for seven years, and she had done a lot of things, big and small, and naturally, she knew a lot more about these things.
She made a rough judgment and came to the value of the jade bracelet.
One bracelet was valuable enough to buy a house downtown in the capital.
Martha and Mikayla’s hands were a little shaky.
They both looked at Aurora and were about to speak when they heard Aurora say, “Don’t say you can’t accept it because it’s too expensive. This is our family rule. It’s for daughters-in-law in the family. You two each have one. Unlike me, I have two, so, you see, it’s me who have accepted the most expensive gift. Take it, both of you.”
Martha and Mikayla were both dumbfounded. Why could she draw the conclusion in this way?
But it seemed not problematic at all.
And interesting?
“Your Mom’s right,” Linden said. “Take it.”
Martha and Mikayla did not continue to refuse. If they did, they would not tell good from bad.
However, this was too valuable. When holding it in the hands, they really felt their hands were shaking.
This feeling was too tormenting.
Aurora was even happier when she saw that both daughters-in-law had obediently accepted them.
She stood up and said, “I’m going to the kitchen to look at the soup.”
Linden got up, too, and was about to follow, only to be stopped by Aurora with a look.
Aurora said, “Don’t follow me, or I’ll kick your ass.”
Linden rubbed his nose helplessly.
His darling wife didn’t save his face.
His dignity as a husband was gone.
Douglas and Ash were used to it, even Martha.
Only Mikayla was dazed for a moment, and couldn’t even tell what kind of person Linden was.
But even if Linden was threatening, he went into the kitchen with Aurora.
They didn’t have any servants in this house, just a regular cleaning lady, because they didn’t like to be disturbed, and they can take care of the house themselves.
In particular, one of Aurora’s favorite place was the kitchen, where she cooked well, so the Torres family’s meals were served by herself.
Aurora was adept at cooking food from any country in the world, as well as a variety of desserts.
But there was one thing that really bothered her whenever she cooked.
Her clingy husband.
Not only clingy, but also disruptive.
A man who can’t even process ingredient still tried to tell her what to do with her seasonings, and will get his hands dirty if he didn’t watch her cooking.
Aurora was actually very confused. Based on the logic, if someone were to follow her around and learn, even a pig should have understood the steps of cooking, right? Even if he couldn’t do it well, he couldn’t ruin it badly.
Why was her husband such a cooking imbecile?
Once they were in the kitchen, Aurora said, “Don’t mess with me, or I’ll really get angry.”
It was a significant day for their two daughters-in-law, so, Aurora was not allowed to deviate from that.
Usually, he caused troubled, which was fine. If he did that again today, he can only be sleeping in the study tonight.
Linden rubbed his nose, thinking he could help a little, but with Aurora’s menacing manner, he did not speak his mind.
Otherwise, he was sure that he will be subjected to a beating.
Aurora grabbed a small bench and placed it against the wall.
Her eyes beckoned Linden to sit down.
He had no choice and couldn’t fight back, because his wife was in charge.
He obediently sat on the small bench, hands on his legs, just like a kindergarten child.
Aurora instantly smiled with satisfaction and even touched Linden on the head, saying, “That’s good.
Keep it up. I’ll give you a treat at night.”
Linden was dumbfounded because his wife really treated him like a kindergarten child.
He looked at Aurora, but a faint glow came into his eyes. “That’s what you said. There’s no turning back at night.”
Aurora was speechless.
Was it too late to take that back?
Why was she talking so fast?
But, since her husband was so obedient, Aurora thought she can give him the reward.
Then Aurora gave Linden a gentle smile, with an attractive feeling in her eyes. “That depends on you.”
The light in Linden’s eyes grew stronger.
Even though he had been married for more than thirty years, he still loved this woman dearly. As long as she gave him a look, he could be instantly aroused by all his thoughts.
Right now, Linden really had intention of ignoring everything, pulling her straight into his arms and kissing her hard.
However, he had only just begun to think about it when Aurora gave him a look of warning.
Aurora said, “You don’t want to be on the cross right now. Or you won’t even get to sleep in the study today.”
With her chin up, Aurora was ready to make her debut in the kitchen like a warrior on her way to the battlefield.
Linden had no choice but to suppress his thoughts for the sake of the evening reward.
His eyes fell on Aurora’s back, with endless tenderness.
After thirty years of marriage, this was the scene he loved to watch the most. It made him completely forget about the conflicts in the outside world. It was as if there was only strong love in this world.
In the living room.
After Linden and Aurora left the living room, Martha and Mikayla were still feeling the pressure.
The two looked at their man in unison and said, “This is really too expensive. What should I do?”
Douglas and Ash found it both funny and annoying.
Douglas said, “She has told you, it’s for daughters-in-law. Aren’t you two not the daughters-in-law in our family?”
Mikayla said quickly, “She is, but I am not.”
Ash was furious when he heard her say that.
He rubbed Mikayla’s head hard and said, “Are you trying to make me angry? Do you want me to take you abroad? At your age, you can get the marriage certificate abroad.”
Mikayla was struck dumb.
That was not what she meant.
Mikayla looked at Ash and said seriously, “But what if, in a few years, you don’t like me and don’t want to marry me? Then I won’t be the daughter-in-law.”
Ash scowled.
He really wanted to know why she could say such infuriating words so confidently.
Mikayla was not aware of the “danger”, so she continued, “If I take it now, I’ll be very possessive. If you want it back, I won’t agree to it. Not only will I not agree to it, but I might even destroy it. No one will get it.”
Ash was completely ticked off by Mikayla.
He cupped Mikayla’s face in his hands and “ravaged” it, saying, “If you’re so possessive, why don’t you take possession of me? I’m worth more than this bracelet.”
Mikayla furrowed her brows as if she had figured something out.
What she said next, however, was still enough to piss Ash off.
“If you change your mind,” Mikayla said, “I can’t take you by force. I can’t just rip your heart out.”
Ash was speechless with anger.
He finally understood that she was tormenting him.
But what can he do?
He chose her so he must keep pampering her.
In contrast to Ash, Douglas almost laughed his head off.
He didn’t see anything wrong with Ash having such a young girlfriend now.
