Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 339

"You'll have no problem at all. You'll handle it with ease."

The mother-daughter pair visited two jewelry stores before finally choosing a jade bracelet.

While it wasn't overly extravagant, it was expensive enough that Sabrina hesitated when it was time to swipe the card.

She had never bought such a pricey piece of jewelry for herself.

Bella noticed her mother's pained expression. "Mom, after Sebastian and I get married, I promise I'll buy you something even more expensive.

"Think of this as an investment. We'll get it back a hundred, even a thousand times over in the future.

"Don't worry."

Sabrina nodded. "Ever since you were a little girl, the one thing I've never hesitated to do is invest in you.

"Now that the gift is bought, when do you think you'll ask her to dinner?"

"Sometime in the next couple of days, but it depends on her. She's already scheduled card games, so I can't really force her to make time.

"I'll just have to wait."

"That's fine. At least now I have something to show for it."

"Show for what? Mom, are you saying you have to explain this expense to Mr. Mercer?"

"Of course. It's all part of the art of managing a husband. You'll learn eventually.

"In the future, you'll have plenty of opportunities to learn how to wrap Sebastian around your finger."

Bella was truly impressed by her mother.

But it made sense. The situation in the Mercer family was complicated, and her mother wasn't the only one involved. With multiple children and the family's declining fortunes in recent years, money was likely a sensitive subject for everyone.
