Broken Twins

The Same Locket

There were several knocks on the door. Maria who was in the living room immediately opened it.

"Great master," said Maria.

Jennifer who was busy cooking in the kitchen with Stefani's help immediately turned around. Who would have thought Hamilton would come to visit.

"Please have a seat, Daddy," Jennifer said.

Maria immediately served chamomile tea in front of Hamilton. It seemed that Maria had already memorized the man's preferences. Calmly the man with all white hair drank the tea deliciously. He looked at the whole room.

"Only in this house can I breathe in peace. When Alex is away, I often come here just to feel calm," Hamilton said slowly and deeply.

"I'd love it if Dad came to visit often," Jennifer said.

Hamilton looked at Jennifer. He nodded and took another deep breath.

"I'm glad Alex chose you to be his wife. At least he's not stupid like me who is easily seduced by a woman. In the past, I was betrothed to Alex's mother by my parents. They thought I wasn't good at choosing a wife, so they forced me to marry Alex's mother. But they were right, Alex's mother was a very good wife. My own chosen wife was not what I expected. Another in front, another in back. Like a very slippery snake. Cunning and full of noose. If Alex doesn't feel at home here. It was all my fault. Therefore, when he returned to this house it must be because of you. I am very grateful, Jennie. With you, this family is whole again, "Hamilton said.

"It's nothing, Dad. Alex is actually really worried about you. It's just a different way. He wants to protect you from afar. Because he can't take care of you in the near future."

Hamilton nodded. He was very relieved to hear Jennifer's words. Looking back, Jennifer's attitude is very similar to that of his late wife. Jennifer is indeed a good money wife to Alex.

"Where, Alex?" Hamilton asked.

"He's still sleeping, Daddy. He'll probably wake up soon. Should I wake him up?" Jennifer got up.

"Do not!" Hamilton asked. "Alex hasn't had enough rest all this time. He rarely sleeps long and sleeps well. Leave it alone. I have a meeting to attend soon."

Jennifer nodded. In her heart she was very happy when her father-in-law visited. Hamilton was the first guest since Jennifer came to the mansion.

"This is for you," Hamilton said, handing him the necklace with the red pendant. Just like the old Jennifer's. Inside the locket was a red Liquid.

Jennifer accepted it with uncertainty. She was confused how there could be the same locket. Steven once said that the locket was only made for the woman he really loved. Steven made it two. Jennifer thought that apart from her locket, Jennifer also owned it. But it turns out...

"This is Angel's. Alex's mother looks beautiful when she wears it. We met at a party. Angel was so charming with her beautiful hair. This red dress and necklace combination. Angel never took off her necklace until she died," Hamilton said. "At first I refused to meet, but once I saw Angel. My attention was never far from her charm."

"Why did you give this precious thing to me?" Jennifer asked.

"I've calmed down. You already have you who will take care of Alex. I don't need the necklace anymore. Your attitude which is similar to Angel is more deserving of having it," said Hamilton. He rose from his chair.

"I have to go. I don't want Martha to come here and make a fuss," Hamilton said. "Please keep the necklace matter a secret from anyone."

Maria immediately opened the door for Hamilton, then closed it again.

"Want me to put the necklace on?" asked Mary.

"No. I'll keep it. I'll only use it when it's important. I'm afraid to lose it," Jennifer said. She got up and kept the necklace in a safe place from anyone. After that Jennifer returned to continue her work in the kitchen.

"Do you think I really look like Angel?" Jennifer asked Maria and Stefanie.

"Similar," said Maria and Stefani.

Jennifer was silent. Does Alex love him because he looks like Angel?

"You don't look like my mother," Alex suddenly appeared. He was dressed neatly, smelled good and, as usual, looked dazzlingly handsome.

"Your father said similar." Jennifer denied.

"Yes. I mean your attitude. You're nice." Alex explained. "I like you not because you're good like my mother. But because you're good like you are," said Alex.

Jennifer gaped for a moment. Alex's choice of words, is really like a series of beautiful words but difficult to understand. Meanwhile, Maria and Stefani just smiled when they saw Alex express his love for a woman for the first time.

"What are you guys doing!?! This isn't a drama. Hurry up and prepare some food," Alex protested.

Maria and Stefanie immediately prepared food for Alex. Even though Alex said in a harsh tone the two of them just smiled. They both have difficulty memorizing Alex's character. Even though Alex seemed cold and rude they knew his young master was very kind.

"What are you breakfast? It's already nine o'clock," Jennifer teased Alex.

"Who cares what time it is. I just woke up," Alex replied.

Maria and Stefanie immediately smiled faintly. When Alex saw, they pretended to be busy.

"Are there any guests?" Alex asked, glancing at an empty cup with a chamomile scent.

"Nothing. Just me waiting for you to wake up with Maria's tea," Jennifer said.

Alex was silent. But he knew that Jennifer was a regular tea connoisseur.

"You didn't write today?" Jennifer asked.

Alex had finished eating. He played with his cell phone. "I'm working. While eating, I'm working. Socializing I also work. Accompanying you here, I also work. What makes me look jobless? Hi, girl. Why don't you like watching me sit still or relax?"

"Are you in a trance?" Jennifer asked. "You're very talkative this morning."

"What are you talking about? I'm reading poetry," said Alex as he got up and entered his study.

Jennifer just shook her head at his behavior. "Every day looks crazier. You crazy writer," cursed Jennifer.

Maria and Stefanie smiled.

"But madam, it seems that the master loves you very much. Because during this time the young master rarely talks. But with the madam, the young master talks a lot. Joking too," said Maria.

"That's right. Even though we were there. Young Master never spoke. When we are with family, it is the same. Sometimes we feel like this house is like a graveyard. But since being with Madam, Young Master has changed a lot."

"Is that true!??" Jennifer asked incredulously.

But Jennifer's heart felt warm hearing Maria and Stefanie's words. Is there anyone who really loves him now? Jennifer had doubts and was afraid to believe. Jennifer didn't want to get her hopes up so much that in the end if those hopes didn't come true she would be hurt.
