Chapter 250


    Suddenly, J sprang to her feet. She felt a burning anger rising from her chest. Slowly, she walked


    out of the shop and said, “Ethan, let’s go home.”


    Ethan closed his eyes and stood up like he was told to. He knew that she was angry, so he just


    followed J obediently.


    All the while, Emani had heard what the shop attendant had said.


    “How is that possible? How could J afford a ring that expensive?” Emani was indignant. She


    crossed her arms, looking at her assistant.


    “Is she really that rich?” she asked. The assistant was fearful at this point. “Emani, do you think we just


    offended a big shot?”


    “Don’t jump to conclusions so soon. But I gotta say, I am flummoxed.” Conflicted, Emani walked out of


    the store and found that J and Ethan were nowhere to be found.


    ‘Who the hell is J? How did she manage to get her hands on a ring that expensive?’ she


    wondered.


    At night.


    It was already 10 o’clock.


    J hadn’t said a word to Ethan during their trip back home.


    After walking into the room, she leaned against the shoe cab at the door and looked Ethan dead in


    the eye. Based on the look on her face, she was furious. “Ethan, do you have something to tell me?”N?velDrama.Org holds this content.


    Ethan was caught off-guard by the question. Despite how in the question sounded, it was still


    daunting.


    He then looked back at her, trying his best to stayposed.


    Ethan had long known that J was much tougher than she appeared to be.


    A smile appeared on his lips. He’d be lying if he said that he didn’t like it whenever she was like this.


    Fortunately for him, he had been preparing an exnation along the way.


    “My mother passed that ring down to me, so I gave it to you as our wedding ring,” Ethan exined. He


    didn’t look like he felt guilty at all. He even took a few steps forward, leaned his elbows against the


    cab beside J, and made eye contact.


    “Is that so?” J didn’t seem like she bought it. “But you told me that you asked your friend to buy this


    ring for you and that it was a cheap knock-off?”


    Back when Ethan bought the wedding ring, he just picked the most valuable one without giving it much


    thought. He was d to know that the ring actually had a long history, or else he wouldn’t have been


    able to make up the perfect excuse.


    He wasn’t lying when he said that his friend bought it for him. He did ask Garrett to buy the ring for him,


    and it was honestly a cheap gift by his standards.


    “Before the Larson family went down in the world, we were a reputable family in Seacisco.” Ethan


    brushed the tip of his nose against hers, stroking J’s cheek with his finger. “Why would I lie to you,


    honey? Do you think I have money to buy a ring that expensive?”


    J was aware that Ethan’s mother was indeed the daughter of the Larson family. However, he had


    given J a tinum emerald ring and told her that it had been passed down as a family heirloom for


    generations, so she couldn’t bring herself to believe that there was suddenly another heirloom, another


    invaluable ring, in existence.


    It worried J that Ethan might’ve acquired the ring through illegal means.


    “It’s true that you don’t have the money to buy the ring, but that doesn’t mean you wouldn’t have been


    able to get it through other means.” She cast him a sharp gaze, avoiding his touch. She was really


    scared that her husband might’vemitted a crime.


    “You’re overthinking it, honey,” Ethan replied in a patient voice. He could tell that it wouldn’t be easy to


    fool her this time.


    “Your family has been passing down an awful lot of jewelry for generations, hasn’t it?” J snorted.
