Chapter 892
Owen: *I almost forgot I had a potential rival floating around p>
Honestly, it was Dominic’s own fault for not dating anyone right now.
When he had the time, he definitely needed to push that guy into the dating pool, or have someone set him up on a few blind dates.
Wait, there was probably more than one rival. Aethelgard University was bound to be crawling with them. Mira was so incredible; she was definitely being eyed by plenty of guys.
That settled it. Once the semester started, he needed to casually stroll around her campus and aggressively show off their relationship to force those little shrimps to back off.
Mira never dreamed that her casual joke would send Owen spiraling into a protective panic.
“Alright, enough, get some rest. You need to keep your energy up p>
“It’s New Year’s Eve tonight. Let’s sleep in the same room p>
Owen looked at her hopefully, his gaze practically begging.
“We can sleep in the same room, but you have to follow the rules, just like when we stayed at the hotel p>
The frustration was too much to bear.
The next morning, the very first thing Mira and Owen did after waking up was greet Grandma Eleanor, Master Ellis, and Rachel for the new year.
Grandma Eleanor gifted them both flawlessly carved gemstone pendants.
“This was carved from a piece of premium gemstone your great-grandfather acquired years ago. It’s cut from the exact same stone as the bracelet I gave you.
I only carved your names into them recently. It’s a warm stone, good for your body when worn close to the skin. Mira, why don’t you wear that bracelet more often p>
“It’s far too precious. I’m afraid I’ll accidentally break it p>
The truth was, Mira was too busy to have heavy jewelry clinking around on her wrists all day.
“Thank you! I didn’t know you carved gems, Grandma Eleanor,” Owen said.
“Of course she does. She comes from a legendary family of jewelers. Not only can she carve, but her design skills are second to none,” Master Ellis chimed in.
“You have to teach me! I wish I had grown up by your side I wasted so much time when I was little p>
Grandma Eleanor just smiled warmly, while Master Ellis scoffed, “Where would you find the time to learn?
You’re studying at the university, training in combat, learning traditional medicine, and running a massive corporate empire p>
You can’t bite off more than you can chew. A person only has so much energy.
Besides, she’s older now. Where would she find the stamina to teach you p>
Mira glanced at Owen. “Well, the company matters p>
Before Owen could answer, her master interrupted. “Don’t even think about it. Owen has to manage the Lance Group and deal with that toxic family of his p>
Defeated, Mira turned back to Grandma Eleanor. “Then, when I have some free time, could you just teach me how to appraise jewelry?
I’m supposed to be the heir to a jewelry legacy. If I can’t even properly appreciate a fine piece, wouldn’t I be a laughingstock p>
“I can certainly do that. With your brilliant mind, it won’t take long at all p>
Her master nodded in agreement. “Learning how to identify stones is actually quite beneficial for traditional medicine as well p>
Premium stones possessed genuine healing properties.
When the two of them greeted Master Ellis for the new year, he handed each of them a small herbal sachet.
“Master, this is all you’re giving us?” Owen teased.
“You ungrateful brat. These contain incredibly rare medicinal herbs. You couldn’t buy these even if you had the money, Wearing them will warde off negative energy and infection p>
What traditional medicine referred to as warding off infection was effectively the
same as modern science’s sterilization.
“If they’re that good, why not give us a few more?” Owen joked.
“You think these grow on trees? That’s all I have p>
Next, they went to greet Rachel. “Thank you for all your hard work, Rachel p>
“I’m the one who should be thanking you. You gave me a job, a high salary, and you treat me like family.
Meeting you two made my entire life
worth it content belong
I know you aren’t lacking in money, so I made you each a pair of hand-stitched
insoles p>
