Gina hurried toward them just then, her expression thrilled. "Look, Helen! This ruby... Its hue is better than every gem I've seen at the expo! Gosh, how much would it sell for—" "Mom!" Helen snapped angrily. "Could you not mess around with something so precious? We're sending that back!" "What?! No!" Gina flinched, hugging the box in reflex as she stared at Helen in disbelief. "Your nis on the box, so it's clearly meant for you! Why would you send it back?!" Helen shook her head. "It's too valuable. | can't accept it." Gina rolled her eyes at her insufferable daughter. "It's someone's sincerity! How could you reject it?!" She would not be sending it back either way! Cindy agreed. "Just take it, Helen. It's a gift from Mr. Lawrence's family, wishing you the best for your marriage with him." Helen turned to Frank instead. "You should send it back. I'd rather not owe such a huge favor." Judging from every word Frank had said earlier, Frank was clearly on bad terms with his family. Receiving their gift would most definitely upset him.
"I have no problem with that." Frank shook his head. "Talnam has too many precious stones, and it's worth nothing to the old man. Also, we'd have to talk to them if we want to send it back, which I'd rather not." "But." Helen glanced at the ruby her mother was holding.

Moreover, he could hardly make up for the misunderstandings she had toward Frank in the past, and accepting the ruby would just make her feel even more guilty. [x Frank could see that she was feeling awkward about the issue and turned toward Gina. "I'm having Helen move in within Skywater Bay from now on. You and Cindy can stay here, and you can have that ruby. Don't bother us if there's nothing important." "What? For real?!" Gina exclaimed in delight at Frank's words.
“For real." Frank nodded and led Helen out of Lane Manor, though she still appeared troubled.
"Frank, my mom. Urgh." Helen sighed after a moment of silence in the car, having no words for her own mother's behavior.
Frank thought nothing of it, driving as he spoke calmly, "I don't care about your mom, but it's more than worth it trading a ruby for you." Seeing that she was serious, Helen's heart welled up with emotion and happiness, and she leaned on Frank's shoulder as they headed to Skywater Bay as night fell.
Unsurprisingly, Vicky was told that Helen had moved her things into Frank's mansion in Skywater Bay.

She pressed the doorbell so hard that she could crush it, and when a groggy Frank finally answered the door, she snapped, "Frank Lawrence! Were you sleeping with Helen Lane last night?! When did you even rekindle that lost spark?!" Her words almost left Frank collapsing.
"Excuse me. Passing through..." Winter murmured as she hurried past them with her sling bag, poking her tongue out at the arguing couple before hurrying away gleefully.
"Did you ratout, brat?!" Frank glared at her as she left, catching on right then.
"Oh, what a nice day out! It's such a good thing to go to school. | wonder what I'll be having for lunch?" Winter kept playing dumb as she quickened her pace until she was gone from sight.
At the stime, Vicky snapped, "Don't change the subject, Frank! Give it tostraight!"
