Chapter 1296 Don''t Let Down The One Who Lov...


    J''s revtion about the exorbitant price of the clothes left Carly''s grandmother stunned. She


    stared at her clothes in shock and immediately thought of taking them off.


    "Too... too expensive..." She gestured at the clothes in panic.


    Carly frowned, sending J a displeased stare. "Miss White, have you forgotten our deal? Why


    did you reveal the real cost of the clothing?"


    J looked at her seriously. "Because I didn''t want your efforts to be looked over simply because


    of the expense," she said with a serious tone.


    Carly and her grandmother were both stunned.


    With a small smile, J exined to the old woman, "The overall cost of the clothes is expensive


    due to my designmission. Mrs. Reed spent a lot of time helping you find a suitable designer.


    The time and money spent on it are all out of Mrs. Reed''s love for you."

    Carly''s grandmother was already about to take off the clothes. However, she hesitated upon J''s


    words.


    Reminiscing about the past made J a bit sentimental. She was touched while watching the two.


    "I also have someone in my family who''s the same age as you. Her name is Hannah. She''s a kind


    woman and was always sacrificing for my sake. She would rather use her money for me rather than


    spend it on herself. However, her action made me feel uneasy."


    "Why did it make you feel ufortable?" Carly''s grandmother looked a bit confused.


    "Because now that I have the ability to provide, I want the people I love to have a better life. I want


    to return her favor and show my love the way she did. I hope she can ept my gratitude." J


    had a solemn look on her face. Sincerity was obvious with every word she said.


    The anger in Carly''s eyes dissipated, reced by ayer of tears.


    With a slight turn of her head, she casually wiped away the tears that formed in the corners of her


    eyes, then acted as if nothing happened.


    What J said resonated deep in her heart.


    Her grandma''s unwillingness to ept her kindness often made her feel ufortable and guilty.


    Carly''s grandmother listened intently to J''s sincere words, recalling the days when she and


    Carly relied on each other. A relieved smile blossomed on her face. "Miss White, you''re right. This is


    Carly''s way to show her love for me, so I should ept it with an open heart." She ced a hand


    on her chest and look at Carly affectionately.


    Then, she leaned forward and hugged her granddaughter. "Thank you, Carly. I really like your gift,"


    she whispered.


    Carly returned her grandmother''s hug. Her voice choked when she said, "Grandma, I''m d you


    like it. Please don''t turn down my gratitude in the future, okay?"


    Carly''s grandmother nodded. The two shared an affectionate smile.


    At the sight of this touching scene, J smiled knowingly.


    She revealed the actual price for a reason and this was exactly what she expected.


    Love cannot be measured by money, and material possessions should not undervalue its worth.


    Therefore, there is no reason to reject an act of love in the form of gifts. Instead, such offerings


    should


    be wholeheartedly epted. Because they represented the painstaking efforts of the person who


    loved you deeply.


    After a while, the two had calmed down, feeling much better than a moment ago. Feeling a bit


    bashful, Carly smiled and said, "Miss White, thank you for everything."


    J shook her head. "I just don''t want your efforts to be hidden. Hannah was just as frugal and


    kind-hearted as your grandma. I know exactly how you feel."


    Hearing this, Carly''s grandmother was suddenly reminded of the box of cookies from before. She


    couldn''t help but smile and said, "Hannah is very skilled at baking. The cookies taste great, and I


    hope to have the chance to meet her someday."


    Carly chuckled, "My grandma still remembers the cookies. She said it reminded her of the


    countryside." Seeing how much they enjoyed Hannah''s cookies, J couldn''t help butugh with


    pride. "Well, next time Hannah makes pastries, I''ll bring some for you too," she promised.


    "Thank you." Carly nodded and smiled appreciatively.


    They chatted for a few more minutes before Carly had to go. She was just leaving when she caught


    a glimpse of a business card on the table.


    "This man..." Carly picked up the business card. Her eyebrows furrowed subtly.


    J''s curiosity rose when she noticed the sudden change in Carly''s expression. "What''s wrong?


    Do you know Mr. Shaw?"


    With a snort, Carly said coldly, "I have no interest in knowing him. He''s apetitor I''ve disliked for


    a long time. I didn''t expect him toe to you."
