Falling In Love With My Ex-Wife (Stella and Clarence) novel Chapter 21

Chapter 21 Help Me Sell the Wedding Ring

"Amber, don't look at him and just look at me, okay?" Cole wanted Amber to withdraw her eyes back from Jeremy outside the window. "I am more handsome than Jeremy, right? Or do you like him more because he is a virgin?"

She rolled her eyes at him, not knowing whether to laugh or not. "I found you a bit of a narcissist when we were young, but I didn't expect you to be even more so after growing up."

"I am self-aware of my good look!" He giggled, "Amber, why don't you marry me? Corazón Azul is nothing. I will find the world's most unique diamond ring to propose to you!"

Amber and Cole grew up together. They had often visited each other's houses and been close since they were children. Every time she was unhappy, he would try everything he could to make her smile.

And she was indeed amused by his words and remembered what had been neglected by her.

She opened her clutch bag, fumbled inside for a ring and took it out. Even under the dim light, the diamond ring still shone brightly.

It was her wedding ring.

She stared at the ring and thought of everything that happened tonight.

The scene of Jared kneeling down to propose to Makenna and how he defended her dotingly…

When these scenes came to her mind, her calm heart became fretful again.

Cole also saw the ring from the rearview mirror. Surprisingly, he said seriously, "Amber, some people look like humans but they were just beasts wearing human clothes. When you see him again, just ignore him."

"Mm," she replied. Within a minute, she calmed herself down again.

She put the wedding ring on the central console box and said peacefully, "Help me sell the wedding ring and donate the money to poor areas."

After saying that, she leaned back in her seat and looked at the scenery outside the window, seemingly quite relaxed and indifferent.

It had been eight years. Her wishful love finally came to an end and she also felt relieved.

…

At the hotel, the banquet was still on and all the guests were chatting and eating, as if nothing had happened.

Jared greeted those bosses and partners of different companies one by one. Finally, he found a chance to take a break, looking tired.

Just as he sat down, Makenna came over.

"Jared, are you okay?" she asked thoughtfully, handing him a glass of warm water, and starting to massage his shoulders.

Her skills were good, but he still felt haunted by a feeling of irritation.

He pressed her hand and said in a low voice, "Tonight you've talked to many people and it was quite exhausting. Sit down and have a rest."

"Okay." She smiled and sat down next to him.

She peeled an orange and handed it to him but he did not take it. Instead, he simply looked at her and said, "Makenna, tell me once again how the car accident happened back then."

His gaze was sharp, making her a bit afraid. She shuddered and the orange in her hand almost fell to the ground.

"I've stayed in the hospital for too long and I forgot about many things." She tried to keep calm and recalled, "I did not remember how the accident happened. But I vaguely remembered that I was hit."

She added, "Miss Reed came tonight to make trouble. Jared, you wouldn't believe Cole Lyon's words and think that I had planned the accident, would you?"

He remained silent.
