Seeing Elara Don staring at the two children with a bewildered expression, Damon Hawke spoke up, "Elly, Charlie and Bea are still young, things are easily lost. You're their mother, you should keep their belongings safe for them."
The two red envelopes were thin, likely containing checks or deeds of some sort.
Her parents wouldn't be stingy.
Elara Don had a strong sense of pride; she wouldn't want to take the children's belongings in front of everyone.
By deliberately using the word "keep," he gave her a way out.
Sure enough, upon hearing Damon's words, Elara Don nodded and accepted the children's things.
"Alright."
The children gave her their things, and she certainly didn't want to take them.
But Damon had said to keep them safe.
She accepted them with a clear conscience.
The Hawthorne family observed with various thoughts.
The Hawke elders felt the two children were very filial and had done nothing wrong.
Vinny Hawke, however, was very upset.
