Mom’s Marriage Announcement Takes a Turn When Her Daughter Sees the Ring

The young man is very confused by their revelations

As Lucy finished recounting their story, the young man’s expression shifted to one of mild confusion. He explained that he had only recently inherited the shop and was still getting acquainted with its history and records. His limited knowledge of past transactions cast a shadow over their hopes, making the mystery feel even more difficult to unravel. Still, his genuine willingness to help—despite the gaps in information—offered a much-needed glimmer of hope, reminding Lucy and Janet that their journey wasn’t over yet.

He is willing to help them as best he can

Sensing their disappointment, the young man offered to comb through the shop’s old ledgers in search of any record of Jeff’s purchase. His offer sparked a flicker of hope in both Lucy and Janet, who watched with anticipation as he disappeared into the back room and returned with a stack of dusty, handwritten books. The ledgers landed on the counter with a heavy thud, their worn pages a possible key to the answers they’d been chasing. Excitement stirred in their chests as they leaned in, ready to uncover whatever clues might be hidden within.
