"By the way, have you ever brought Winona hbefore?" Richard looked into her eyes. "No, I didn't." "But you toldyou would." "Why are you fixated on that? It was a lie." Richard sensed her jealousy in her bitter tone.
"I'm not, I was curious." Pearl, annoyed, stepped hard on his foot, feeling caught.
When she looked up, she saw Susan returning with a box. The latter witnessed her stepping on Richard's foot in annoyance, which embarrassed her.
"Ah, young couples bickering. It's fine. If he messes up, just scold him." Susan smiled brightly.
She sat down and placed the box on the table, revealing an agate ring inside. "We have many treasures in the family, mostly gold. But I remember your allergy, so I found this for you. It's an ancient piece." Pearl knew it was an ancient piece. "It's too expensive. I can't accept it." "Why not? You're family now. The other daughters-in-law will get one too."

"We can't have sons." The idea of Pearl being intimate with another man, even if it was their son, frustrated Richard beyond measure.
He softened his tone. "Sons are trouble. They're energetic, affect your mood, and eat a lot. You'll have to deal with their messes and worry about them getting into trouble with girls."
