It was around 9 pm when the young couple snuggled on the couch, the large TV playing some global news.
The couple weren’t exactly listening to what was transpiring on the screen but chatting as Gael fiddled with her hands, especially the ring he put on her on that fateful day of May.
"Babe!"
"Um," she hummed in response without looking at him, as her eyes were fixated on the screen, though she wasn’t really sure about what she was seeing.
"Should we change the ring?" Gael suddenly asked and that piqued her curiosity.
She threw her head back so that she was looking at him and asked puzzlingly, "Why should we change it? Is it not nice?"
She really likes her ring. Ever since she has gotten it, there wasn’t a day she hasn’t gone without wearing it.
However, Gael’s thoughts were very different.
He knows that Diamond loves rings. In fact, she has rings she always wear every single day which were of great importance. As far as his mind goes, he could tell that the one on her thumb, the jade ring, was a family signet ring.
She was the matriarch, an undisputed fact that he couldn’t even argue against. The other ring, he wasn’t sure what it was, but from the earlier pictures, he has seen on it on her. Since the ring has always been on her, then it matters.
If he knew that the ring was a storage ring and a world of its own, he would surely be shocked and his knowledge of the world questioned.
The other ring, was the ring shield but now it wasn’t there on her fingers. After the inclusion of shields on the family ring, Diamond was left with just two rings, the family ring and the storage ring, not including the ring Gael gave her or the ones she likes wearing now and then.
Gael, looking at the rings she always wears daily, he felt that his ring was too simple and mediocre, thus for a while now, he thought of changing it, and even saved money towards it.
In the future, when he proposes, he will get her a nice new ring. Anyway, there wasn’t much that he could do, so he might as well deliver in such cases.
"I just think that this ring looks simple. Let’s just consider it as a promise ring and the next pair of rings I buy will be a couple ring. What do you think?"
Seeing him so serious and not understanding what drove him to that kind of thinking, Diamond didn’t want to dash her boyfriend’s hopes or decline his affection for her.
However, she also didn’t want him to do things spontaneously and impulsively when he has a business to start in a few months.
"Dear, you know that there is really no need for such, right?"
"I insist!" he firmly said as he brought her hand to his lips and gave it a kiss.
Seeing him so serious, Diamond couldn’t say no again and resignedly acquiesced.
"Fine, lets do that. When are we getting it?"
"Tomorrow. Let’s go there after breakfast. I will show you around as well, and we can have an outside date. The weather is just perfect."
Hearing about dates, Diamond was thrilled. She really loves going on dates. Unfortunately, time has never been on her side from day one.
It wasn’t all about rolling in the sheets with your beloved one, but also just getting to know each other and having fun on dates, regardless of the size.
"Um, lets do so. I am quite itchy on seeing what this country is like."
"You will surely love it."
"Hehe, I have a feeling."
"If you want, you can broadcast the whole thing. Let your fans see how much this boyfriend loves you," he added, slightly excited at the thought of appearing on the screen with her.
He has his own selfish reasons for that. while it felt weird to have his date broadcasted, but the thought of letting those with ulterior motives for her seeing her with her boyfriend, he felt immense joy and eagerness.
Whilst he couldn’t stop Diamond from pursuing her dreams, his appearance might deter some of those men who were lusting after her.
