Agnes' Awakening: From Zero to His Whole World novel Chapter 6

The dining table was quiet.

Agnes was used to eating breakfast alone. Now that someone else was sitting there, she felt a little awkward.

"This is for you."

Raymond took out a small, elegant box and placed it in front of her.

"What is it?"

"Open it and see."

Agnes opened the box. Inside was a huge red gemstone ring. The stone had to be at least 20 carats.

A pigeon-blood ruby. Wow. This jerk really didn't hold back.

He had sent her gifts before through Eden, but this one was worth far more than any of the others.

"Why are you giving me this?"

"I thought it looked nice. It suits you."

If this had happened before, Agnes would've cried from happiness. Then she would go right back to being the quiet, obedient wife.

But this time was different. After what happened to the baby, she would never forgive him.

"You're giving me this... Won't Hillary get jealous?"

"Why bring her up now? I bought this at an auction just for you. It's one of a kind."

Agnes looked at the ring, then at him.

One side of his mouth was still a little red. She suddenly felt a bit guilty.

Did she slap him so hard yesterday that she knocked some sense out of him?

She had thought he would come back to settle the score. Instead, he showed up with a ring.

Does he... have some weird hobby? Does he like getting hit? What a freak!

Thinking about it now, even Agnes was surprised. She hadn't known she had such a powerful slap.

Yesterday she had somehow found the courage to hit him too. Now that she thought about it, it was a little scary.

Who was Raymond?

The famous heir of the Newtons, the most powerful family in Grandridge.

A man everyone feared.

He made decisions quickly and had a sharp eye for business.

In the business world, he always stayed calm while others fought each other.

Then he stepped in at the perfect moment and took all the benefits.

At a young age, he had already built a business empire worth billions.

Behind that handsome, cold face hid something dangerous.

In the entire Grandridge, who would dare provoke him?

Agnes gently pushed the ruby ring aside.

"I hope we can handle the divorce soon. I'm not asking for anything."

She didn't even look up as she spoke. She just drank her milk.

"I know you've been in a bad mood lately. I'll come home more often these next few days and keep you company."

He turned slightly and took her hand gently.

Agnes pulled her hand back right away. The move clearly annoyed him.

"I'm not joking," she said. "I've thought it through. I'll let you go. You and Hillary can be together."

"Agnes, are you done yet? I can let yesterday's incident go, but don't push it."

"I'm serious, Raymond. We're over. I don't want to love you anymore."

Fine, Hillary. You want to annoy me first thing in the morning? Just wait.
