Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2465

Sophia showed her ID to the young woman.

After a quick glance, the woman offered a sheepish smile and started to share her vision for the ring she desired. "I want something big, a diamond that screams luxury, something really classy!"

The man frowned upon seeing the seven-carat diamond she fancied, "Honey, don't you think that's a bit too much? Your hands are petite; a smaller stone might suit you better!"

This comment immediately soured the woman's mood, "Are you saying you don't want to spend the money? You promised you'd get me whatever I wanted before we came here!"

"It's just a suggestion, babe," the man hurried to appease her.

The woman scoffed, "Don't act like I don't know better. You've always been wary, thinking I'm after your money. If that's how you feel, maybe we shouldn't even bother getting married!"

"You're reading too much into it. Why would I think that?" he quickly retorted. "I've already divorced for you; what else would I hesitate to give up?"

"Don't bring up your divorce again. You've never been honest about how much you paid her!"

Their argument escalated in front of Sophia.

Sophia, who had just returned from Mr. Waldo's pearl wedding anniversary, deeply moved by the celebration, was now utterly speechless witnessing this couple's dispute.

Standing up, she suggested, "Maybe you two should talk this over. I'll just head to the restroom!"

The man, evidently embarrassed, offered a strained smile, "Of course, Sophia, take your time!"

As Sophia stood up and walked out, closing the door behind her, she caught the girl's voice, "Why were you staring at her? Do you think she's prettier than me?"

The man hushed her, but whatever he said next was lost as Sophia closed the door firmly behind her.

Shaking her head in disbelief, Sophia was about to head to the restroom when her phone buzzed. A smile spread across her face as she saw the caller ID.
