"And another thing, you have to come back and visit Mom often. This will always be your home. After you have children, I'll help take care of them..."
"Mom, why are you crying? It's not like I'm marrying someone far away and never coming back. It's just a stone's throw from here. I can come back to see you anytime."
Laura Lowell's eyes reddened as she helped Maeve Miller wipe the tears from her face. She hadn't really thought her getting married would be any different, but seeing Maeve cry like this made her heart ache.
"Sweetheart, this is the dowry your father and I prepared for you. This card has ten million in it, and the password is your birthday. There's also ten percent of the company's shares. Keep them safe."
Laura Lowell had already earned a lot of money on her own over the years. It had never even crossed her mind to have her family prepare a dowry for her.
"Mom, what are you doing? I don't want your money. Please, take it back."
