Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber)
Chapter 709 Velma Clarkson's Handicraft
Amber raised the swaddle up to take a closer look.
Covered in a satiny layer pf silk, the swaddle was embroidered with many patterns that carried good blessings.
The embroidery was too elaborately vivid to be made by machine.
It appeared to be handmade.
The silky and delicate embellishment of the swaddle was a plain testament to its value.
And it's the same for that baby's suit, whose greatly soft texture manifested its cost, despite its age-revealing yellowish color.
"Why did dad keep this in the safe?" Amber laid down the swaddle with confusion.
Jared took up the piece and inspected it. After gazing at it, he then blinked and said, "I guess it belonged to you as a kid and was wrapped on you the first time you had come to the Reed's, so your father kept it because it meant something special to him."
"Why would you think it was wrapped on me when I first came to the family?" Amber asked in surprise, holding onto the swaddle.
Dropping his eyes, Jared said, "It's just my guess. If it was gotten this for you after you had been part of their family, it would make no sense to preserve this one in particular among all the others. But the clothing you wore the first time you came to the family made such difference. It served as a sweet reminder of what you were like when you first joined the family."
In fact, that wasn't just his guess.
He was able to blurt out that the swaddle was covered on her when she first came to the Reed's because the embroidery had been the work of Velma Clarkson, also known as the old Mrs. Gardner, a renowned expert in embroidery and leading member of the Embroidery Association.
Her had been popular.
However, for reasons unknown, she had announced thirty years ago that she would no longer embroider, a pity to many of her admirers.
But four years afterwards, she broke her own promise by sewing again the day when her daughter-in-law was pregnant.
Lady Velma said to the press that she started embroidering again only to make a swaddle for her unborn grandchild.
