Skylar glanced at Elsie. Elsie was a young woman, around 20, and very pretty, radiating the kind of youthful energy you would expect from someone fresh out of school.
However, what surprised Skylar was how similar Elsie's features were to hers. Elsie was carefully looking at her and Joe, her demeanor delicate and full of sympathy.
"I'll take a look," Skylar said gently.
As Elsie drew closer, she blushed slightly. She had heard that Skylar was nearly 30, older than her by several years. But looking at Skylar up close, it was clear that she didn't look anywhere near 30.
She looked more or less her age. People also said Skylar grew up in the countryside, but she didn't carry a trace of the typical rustic air that one might expect.
Her demeanor and speech all exuded a warmth and closeness that made others feel at ease.
It wasn't just men who were drawn to Skylar—even Elsie felt herself blushing when speaking to her. She awkwardly took out the emerald pendant and handed it to her.
Then, she repeated what she had said to Joe on the plane. Afterward, she observed Skylar's expression.
Skylar remained calm, her eyes focusing on the emerald pendant in her hands. The pendant was made from emerald, though it appeared to have been repaired using gilding, likely due to a previous crack.
Although the emerald wasn't of the highest quality and was a bit ordinary, it was still undeniably an antique, showing signs of age.
"Well… this isn't a negative item. The dream becoming reality you mentioned was probably just a coincidence. There's no need to worry too much. Or perhaps something's been affecting your state of mind recently.
"It's like the saying goes, 'what you think about during the day, you dream about at night.' Just relax," Skylar explained.
Elsie wasn't surprised by Skylar's response. After all, this emerald pendant had been passed down through her grandmother's family, and she had never heard of anything unusual happening with it. She had just hoped that it would allow her to talk to Joe.
