What the old lady said confused Cordelia.
She looked at her with doubt. She wanted to ask but was startled by Marcus, who was next to her.
The man looked grim, his eyes ferocious, as if he could start a storm.
Cordelia held his hand softly and whispered close to him, “Perhaps she’s so old that she doesn’t know
what she’s talking about… Don’t take it personally.”
Never had they thought the old lady had sharp ears that she heard what she said. She smirked.
“You’re so kind, young lady. You’ll be rewarded for your kindness.”
“Thanks, granny.” Cordelia revealed a courteous smile. “My husband is actually nice. It’s just that he
looks a little scary. He’s too serious sometimes, which is why he is often misunderstood.”
“Hah, you want to look into your marriage, right?”
Cordelia quickly nodded.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe old lady peeped at the lines on her palm and slowly took two red string bracelets out of her pocket.
The bracelet made from a chaste tree was striking. There was a cute bell hanging on each knot. They
would make a crisp ring whenever one touched them.
“Tie this around your wrist.” The old lady taught her word by word. “No matter how far away you two
are separated, you’ll know where each other is when the bells ring.”
“What nonsense is that…” Seth frowned and mumbled softly, “If there’s something this magical, then
we can get rid of our phones!”
Cordelia was stunned. She turned her face to smile at the old lady. “Granny, I won’t be too far away
from my husband. We’re always together!”
“You’ll be separated one day.”
Cordelia’s face turned pale, and she held Marcus’ hand tightly.
“But…” The old lady looked into the distance and said while smiling, “You two will live happily ever after
eventually.”
Only the frown on Cordelia’s face relaxed slowly. The faint dimples appeared again.
Marcus looked moody. He squinted as he looked at the old lady and then took Cordelia away.
“Hey, old lady!” Seth interrupted. “Are you confused because you’re old? But what you said at the end
was pretty great. Haha!”
“Hey, you’re leaving?” The old lady suddenly called out to them.
They stopped walking. They saw her losing her unfathomable stance earlier. She had her hands on her
hips, staring with her eyes wider than a camel bell.
“I told you so much, and I even gave you guys the string bracelets! Aren’t you going to pay me?”
“Wow… You’re a scammer, alright.” Seth was not sure whether to laugh or cry. “How much do you
want, old lady?”
The old lady looked serious now and merely said, “It’s up to you.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeth was dying from laughing.
Marcus looked calm. He took a $ 10 note out of his pocket and handed it to her. The old lady smiled
and looked at Cordelia in a cryptic manner before leaving happily.
Since then, they stayed silent as they walked.
Seth could not hold back and took the initiative to break the silence. “Don’t mind what she said! I’ve
been to many temples. There are always scammers like this at the door, deceiving people. You can’t
believe what she said! You guys will definitely live happily ever after!”
Linda peeped at him. She showed approval in her eyes.
He blushed and scratched his head shyly.
Cordelia smiled and kept holding Marcus’ hand tightly. “Thanks, Dr. Stafford. I don’t really care, to be
honest. Moreover, what she said was pretty great. She even gave us a beautiful red string bracelet.”
She turned her face to look at Marcus, who was still serious. He was as cold as ice and intimidating.
She knew he usually would not believe in that mumbo jumbo, let alone tying the bracelet around his
wrist.
