The Sequel of The necklace

Mathilde’s face becomes pale and pale, eyebrows knit in a frown, lips can not stop quivering but without saying a word,vacant eyes just stare at Jenny’s charming face.The voice echoed through her mind,’it’s a fake,only cost at most five hundred dollars"Mathilde put down Jenny’s hand torpidly and turned around,trying to walk back to her little attic.Jenny feels really guilty about that, then she takes two steps forward to overtake mathilde: "dear Mathilde,I really do not know what to say,there’s nothing can be able to compensate your youth.I wish I told you the truth when you borrowed the necklace!My dear could you please follow me to my house?I'll bring the necklace to you!"However,no response from Mathilde,she just keep on walking like a zombie.Jenny realized that the value of the necklace is too heavy,it’s not only thirty-six thousand francs,that is her friend’s entire youth.She starts to run back to her house for the necklace.

Mathilde feels deadened to the world around her,only the best night of her life came back to her mind---She was the beauty queen,more charming than any woman at that night.Oh my god!she was just like a descent of angels!And how about now?The sweetest memory is just thing that killing her.

The river at sunset is very bleak,much bleak than a decade ago,no more ripple. Mathilde gets back to the small attic,with the teared eyes.She looks around, it was this small attic,day after day, year after year,roughen her delicate hands,wrinkled her beautiful face.Her eyes are no longer flashing light;Her blonde hair no longer roll waves;Even her good shape disappeared completely...

"My dear, I'm home!"The husband didn't hear the loud reply,feels very strange.He speed up to her,find out that she is very sad.He asks,＂Are you alright my love?"＂Honey,do you think I’m beautiful?"He didn’t give the second thought,a smile on his lips: "dear,you are always my most beautiful queen,I love you!”he thought she would be happy with,but she She stumbled into his arms and wept.

At the moment,she finally realized that the man who always by her side is only her dear husband.The husband was shocked and doesn't know what to do, "Baby,i swear that is all my truth i cross my heart!I’m so sorry i didn’t know it would bother you that much..."Mathilde stops him before he finished his words by finger, pointed and covered his lips: "no, honey,it’s the touched tears.I think I am unworthy to you.You work that hard to pay for my mess,I really don't know how to return the love that you’ve given..."The husband hugs the woman he loves happily and reply,"No, honey, you know, I do this because I love you, I am motivated by love,and expected nothing in return."They hugged tightly...

"Mom,there’s a pretty lady looking for you."7 years old daughter Alice came and said. "who's there?""I'm sorry, Mathilde, I’m here to give you the necklace!"Jenny helps Mathilde to put on the necklace."My dear, you still so beautiful!"Mathilde and her husband smile and look at each other.And then she turns to Jenny,looks at her guilty face,smiled and said, "Well,you better take me to a big big dinner,or you would never forgive yourself!"Jenny surprised,and then happily nods...

Finally,Mathilde realized,the greatest treasure in the world is nothing else but love, even ten millions francs can’t afford it.
