“They gave them to you, so they’re yours,” Nicholas insisted as he tried to hand over the jewelry box to Nancy.

She stood her ground and refused to accept the jewelry. “These things don’t belong to me, so I won’t take them,” she asserted. Given their divorced status, she felt she had no right to keep these items. She also remarked, “If your visit was solely for this purpose, then perhaps it’s best that you leave.”

Besides, you still have your lover in your heart. You actually wanted to divorce me back then, didn’t you? The only reason you dragged it out was your struggle to get over the hurdles in your heart for fear that you would disappoint Grandpa’s. wishes. Well, isn’t this great news that you can go and propose to Madelline? You finally can be together.”

He tightened his fists, and his eyes burned with anger. He ground his teeth and asked, “What are you trying to say?”
