As soon as I heard that, my expression shifted. I immediately removed my ring. “Look, Crystal. Shall I give my ring to you? I think it suits you better. Darling, what do you think?” My voice was icy.
I deliberately dragged the word “darling” as I narrowed my eyes at Lyle. The atmosphere was exceptionally awkward. Then the waiter bowed his head and apologized to me profusely.
I didn’t take his words to heart because my attire was a bit sloppy. Moreover, he merely did his duty to please his customers. “It’s fine. My husband and my cousin are really close. They do look like a cute couple together. How lovely.”
“Yvonne, stop it!” Lyle roared.
“Yvonne, what are you talking about? Crystal just returned, so there’s nothing wrong with him taking care of her. As her cousin, you should know better. Don’t overreact.” Wendy chimed in.
Overreact, huh? Then what should I do? Should I just give in and leave my husband to this woman? Why? Because they share true love?
I held the ring in my hand and chuckled. “Wendy, relax. I’m just joking.”
A moment later, the food was served and everyone dug in. I looked at all the luxurious dishes on the table. They looked delicious and certainly fit my taste, but my appetite was spoiled by all the drama. Still, I forced a smile on my face and ate slowly.
