But she didn''t dare ck off, putting her heart into presenting the rings on disy.
"The in bands are sturdy and practical, the intricate designs are eye-catching, and the ssic ones never go out of style. It all
depends on what your girlfriend prefers," the saledy said with a pleasant smile.
Lysander''s brows furrowed slightly. He hadn''t anticipated that buying a ring could be such a hassle. "Wrap them all up," he said
decisively.
The sales associate was stunned, almost thinking she had misheard. She asked again for confirmation, "Mr. Sinir, are you
sure you want all of them?"
"Do | need to repeat myself?" Lysander lifted his eyes, a hint of displeasure in his gaze.
The sales associate''s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly apologized, "No, of course not. I''ll get them all wrapped up for you
right away."
She hurriedly beckoned a colleague to help, and together they started packaging every ring from the disy. They had never
encountered such a big purchase before. Their faces couldn''t help beaming with joy.
David wasn''t surprised by Lysander''s actions. That was just like his boss—never stingy when it came to the woman he loved. He
wished to give her the very best of everything.
Previously, Lysander had custom-ordered a ring called Remembrance with an Azure Star sapphire in it—a gem unique in the
whole world. He had arranged for the sapphire to be nestled inside a cloud design, a secret surprise for Thssa. His love for
her was intense, yet he carried it with a quiet passion.
When the rings were all packaged, Lysander handed his card to David, who went to process the payment. Momentster, David
came backden with severalrge bags.
Their next stop was Star Harbor Vi.
David thought about the uing proposal and felt his heart swell with happiness. Even the car seemed to speed along more
eagerly.
Evelyn entered the Vibrant Oasis Residences card room.
The elderly wasn''t ying cards as usual but had gathered to pore over some gossip on their smartphones, gasping and tsk-
tsking.
"Good Lord, is that Evelyn who used to y cards with us?"
"That''s her, for sure. She always seemed so prim and proper, but look at her now, chasing after men."
"That''s normal, isn''t it? A woman living single for so many years without a man would be odd."
"Even if she longed for a man, getting married would be respectable. But carrying on with a married man? Look at her, unting
herself in his bed. Tsk, tsk... She should be collecting some virtue for her daughter and grandchildren.”
Evelyn''s heart raced as she overheard the chatter.
She rushed forward, "What are you reading?"
The card yers turned their heads, giving her a nce filled with mockery and scorn.
"Oh, Evelyn, we never thought you''d be so inept at both cards and choosing men. You''ve taken up with a married man and
you''ve been brazen in bed. You have no shame."
"Your daughter having so many kids out of wedlock. Is she following in your footsteps with men on the side?"
Stung by their words, Evelyn''s mind buzzed, her chest heaving with emotion. She lunged to snatch the smartphone.
"Watch your mouths! Or I''ll sue you for defamation!" Evelyn was panting with fury.From N?velDrama.Org.
