At the door, Josiah welcomed the two pairs–Aiden and Ines, and Clifford and Zendaya–one after another. Then, he saw Roland arriving alone.
The crowd couldn’t help feeling curious.
“Aren’t you two getting married soon? Why isn’t she here? Is she afraid of hanging out with us?” Ines asked with curiosity.
Roland answered, “She’s frail and often feels unwell since she’s pregnant, so I’d avoid having her move around unless it’s necessary.
Aiden jokingly said. “Well, all that matters is that she doesn’t stand you up at the wedding. Hahaha.”
Everyone started laughing, but at the same time, they noticed that Josiah wasn’t in a good mood.
Just as they were about to ask something, Deborah and Damien arrived together in the same car. Even though they were technically a family–to–be, it was rare to see them banded together.
“Wow, what brings you two here together today?” Clifford teased. “Where’s your cousin?”
Damien replied, “The entertainment company project has started, so he doesn’t have time to accompany Deborah. I happened to be at my aunt’s house, so I came along.”
Deborah shrugged her shoulders. Upon seeing Roland, she said, “Oh right, the wedding ring you asked me to make previously is ready. You can pick it up from my shop later.”
Roland nodded with a smile.
“Wow, so does that mean, Alexander is the only one among all of us who hasn’t commissioned Deborah for a piece of jewelry for his partner?” Ines chuckled. She had sought Deborah, the genius jewelry designer, to make her couple rings, handcrafted using care materials and truly one of a kind.
“Hey, he’s not the only one,” stated the still–single Damien.
Aiden laughed, asking, “Do you even plan on falling in love in this lifetime?”
Damien was momentarily rendered speechless.
Deborah, however, suddenly spoke up. “Damien should be the only one left because Alexander commissioned me to make an engagement ring not long ago.”
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback and immediately pressed for more information.
Deborah wasn’t one for gossip, so she couldn’t quite give a good explanation and only critiqued Alexander’s demands.
“One that has investment value, made using the most expensive materials, and has to be the most valuable.”
A twitch tugged at the corners of Roland’s mouth. He had just customized a ring, after all. He had many ideas for the ring’s design concept, but cost was never a consideration for him.

“I’ve told him the same thing” Deborah, who was extremely passionate about jewelry design, was left speechless at such a nouveau riche demand. “But he insisted that Isabella likes it this way.”
Although everyone expressed considerable doubt, they didn’t dwell too much on the issue. After all, the news of the engagement ring itself was already too much for them to digest.
This once again proved that Alexander’s feelings for Isabella were real. Otherwise, considering the kind of person he was and their relationship back then, he would’ve simply purchased a ring from a jewelry store rather than going out of his way to have Deborah design one.
After all, the idea of commissioning Deborah to design jewelry for their significant other was merely a joke made in jest during a casual drinking session with friends back in university.
The fact that Alexander had chosen to abide by this agreement was truly an amusing thought.
“That’s great, with Roland and Alexander, we’ll make three pairs in our group. We’re safe,” Ines said with a
smile.
“Huh?” Roland didn’t catch Qn.
Aiden chuckled. “Didn’t Clifford and Josiah both commission jewelry from Deborah before? They ended. up breaking up, so my honey is worried.”
Deborah looked at Ines speechlessly.
Ines stuck out her tongue, which immediately drew a glare from Clifford. He certainly didn’t want anyone bringing up matters about his ex–girlfriend.
At the side, Zendaya pretended not to hear anything, as she was reminded how Clifford would sometimes make her wear a specific pair of earrings when he had her impersonate his first crush to go on a date. She figured that must be the reason why he did that.
As for Josiah, who had been in low spirits all along, suddenly froze, and as if recalling something, he appeared a little uneasy.
He had also once approached Deborah to customize a necklace, intended as a gift for Audrey. As long as she wore it, it would essentially become a public declaration of their secret relationship among their circle of friends.
Sadly, before the necklace was crafted, she became his sister–in–law,
By the time he received the necklace, he was so furious he intended to destroy it. However, it just so happened to coincide with Audrey’s birthday. Naturally, he didn’t plan to get her a birthday gift, and neither did he want to see her.
Despite so, he had no choice. His family was upset with him for ignoring his sister–in–law, so he gave Audrey the necklace as a birthday gift partly out of spite. He wanted Audrey to know what she had missed out on in pursuit of money. He thought that mocking her and putting her in torment would bring him satisfaction.
However, he was so affected by this incident that particular day that he overlooked something….
Jerk, total jerk! Even I wouldn’t believe it if he claimed he likes Dakota. If he really likes her, why would he treat her su

Meanwhile, Isabella, who was secretly enjoying the gossip upstairs, was so mad she was cursing inwardly
Downstairs, the Quirks were all somewhat shocked upon hearing Isabella’s outburst. They thought it was a known fact that Josiah was pretending to be poor so that he could depend on his girlfriend and wondered if there was something more outrageous that happened.
The bracelet Dakota cherishes in much is actually made from the leftover materials of a gift for Audrey, so it isn’t even worth a fraction of the original necklace. They were dating of that time! Though they just got together, dating means they have feelings for each other, right? You’re chrzy for doing to many things to test her out, but what do you mean by Kiving her a bracelett
Alexander felt a little guilty. When he first saw it, he found it odd that a makeup artist would have a bracelet of the same material. Even though it was a complimentary gift, it was still a custom–made one.
Upon hearing that Dakota was Josiah’s girlfriend, he should have made some connections. However, with so much happening at that moment, he overlooked it.
Only now did it come to mind.
