“It’s true! Hannah was there, too. Seraphina bought that Patek Philippe watch you like. Get ready to receive a gift, hahaha!” 

Lucius couldn’t help but spill everything. 

Orion felt a mix of surprise and frustration. 

Suppressing the thrill inside, he kept his voice calm and composed. 

“Alright, I need to go now.” 

He hadn’t planned on celebrating his birthday this year but it seemed he might have to throw a big party now. How else could he invite her? 

He used to always celebrate his birthdays with a few close friends. 

He recalled that before the divorce, Seraphina seemed eager to celebrate his birthday, but he always found an excuse to refuse. Still, she never failed to prepare a gift for him each year. 

Orion thought of this and immediately called Ken. 

“What happened to the birthday gifts I received?” 

The sudden question caught Ken off guard. 

However, he quickly regained his composure. 

“Mr. Dros, the valuable ones are in the safe and the display cabinet.” 

Orion felt uneasy. He struggled to remember what gifts Seraphina had given him during those three years. 

“What about Seraphina’s gifts?” 

Ken paused for a few seconds before slowly asking the question. 

“Mr. Pros, which year are you asking about?” 

Orion’s voice turned cold, his tone serious. 

‘All of them.” 

Ken cleared his throat, bracing himself. 

“Ms. Cross gave you a ring the first year, but you lost it

She had prepared one.

He had worn it for only a few days before finding it uncomfortable, so he casually tossed it into a pocket. 

It was never seen again. 

Ken continued. “The second year, Ms. Cross knitted you a scarf by hand, but you gave it to Jane Wheeler. Later, Jane threw it away? 

Before Orion could react, Ken quickly finished. 

“The third year, she didn’t give you anything.” 

Silence engulfed the phone line. 

Orion’s body stiffened, his resolve crumbled, and his heart felt torn apart. 

He suddenly realized that wearing down someone’s enthusiasm was an ordinary yet profoundly unforgivable act. 

He had personally extinguished Seraphina’s passion. 

Therefore, she didn’t even bother in her third year. 

A ring, a scarf–both were things he had once had but then lost. 

At the time, he hadn’t felt anything. 

Now, why did it suddenly hurt so much that he couldn’t breathe? 

He didn’t want to dwell on it, fearing the answer would be too much to bear. 

Throwing aside the phone, he rushed to his closet like a madman, pulling out every coat and searching each pocket meticulously. 

Clothes piled up like a mountain, but he found nothing. 

It was gone!

There was no way clothes from years ago would still be around, especially after the housekeeper had cleaned and organized everything. 

He couldn’t accept the days he had overlooked his wife. 

Orion felt something was missing from his chest, leaving it hollow with nothing to fill the void. 

That ring 

Seraphina gave him a ring–how much courage and hope did it take for her to overcome the despair he had caused her and put it in his hand? 

And yet, he had thrown it away.
