Abby looks into the box. She didn't expect any fancy jewelry in the cheap box.
Her eyes widen when she sees the ring! The next second she squints to see the blue glow in the ring!
Grace asks nervously, "Miss Lewis, what do you think of it?"
Abby doesn't hear her. She stares at the ring and gently picks it up with her long fingers. She is admiring the ring.
Its design, material and inlay are all first-class! It's really the most expensive jewelry! Abby smiles. This is her dream wedding ring! Perfect!
This ring will make her shine at the wedding ceremony!
Grace is relieved to see the smile on Abby's face. It seems that the ring can be sold at a good price!
After bargaining, the ring is sold for $60 million! According to Grace's request, the money is transferred to her account opened abroad on the spot. The ring is also left to Abby.
"Andrew! Look! What a beautiful ring!" As soon as Andrew gets home, Abby happily holds up a small box and hands it to him.
Andrew glances at it. It's a sapphire ring. It's really unique and beautiful. Andrew claps Abby's face with his hand. "It's good that you like it." With that he is going to the study.
Abby is not happy for a second. Her big eyes look at Andrew's back with tears of grievance, "Andrew, you are too perfunctory to me. This is our wedding ring! Don't you take a good look at it?"
Andrew has his back to Abby and frowns. But he turns around and says in a good temper, "I saw it just now. It's really beautiful. It matches you very well!"
Abby is not happy with his explanation. She is more angry, "Andrew! Why are you always so perfunctory to me? Are you still thinking about Nina? If I am not pregnant, you won't marry me at all, will you?"
Andrew's handsome face is full of frustration. "Abby, don't be angry. It's not good for the baby."
Abby can't help crying, "you only care about the baby. When do you care about me? Do you love me or not? Are you still in love with Nina!"
Andrew tries to suppress his emotions and pats Abby on the shoulder. "We're getting married. Don't mention it."
Abby cries and says, "I know you don't forget Nina. I heard that she is missing. You have been looking for her everywhere..."
Andrew is saddened by that.
He heard Nina was put in a dungeon by Lucien. He was trying to get Nina out, but Nina ran away. He doesn't know where she has gone. She seems to have disappeared. Nina disappears in his world again.
She disappeared three years ago. He looked for her for three years. Now she's gone again. He doesn't know how many years he will have to wait. Andrew is suddenly scared. What if she never shows up again? What if he never sees Nina again?
Lucien is equally distressed.
At night Lucien sits alone in a wooden chair on the terrace. He smokes alone.
The moon shines on him. His features are extremely handsome in the moonlight. He spits out a repressed smoke ring. He clenches his left hand. His knuckles are whitened with force.
There is no expression on his handsome face. Only his lonely shadow and clenched fist reveal his real emotion.
Nina, where are you?
He should hate this little woman. She is a mistress he bought. Their contract is not over. She ran away! He should hate her, but now he misses her very much.
He misses her long hair, her stubborn eyes, her simple smile and the smell of grass on her body.
Yes, he misses her. Lucien misses Nina.
In his 27 years of life, he has never experienced the emotion of missing. It's unforgettable. He doesn't want to do anything. He just keeps missing her.
Today, Andrew, the president of Williams Family, is going to marry Abby, the daughter of Mayor Lewis.
All the paparazzi and journalists are ready. They are going to shoot the grand wedding with various cameras.
