Chapter 49 The Future Bride’s Ring
At Hayden’s residence, they indulged in the beauty of nature, appreciating the birds and flowers.
After lunch, they decided to depart in the very afternoon.
Before leaving. Hayden took Violeta to the well–organized storage room to select something as a gift to
her.
Inside the storage room, everything was neatly arranged, with items carefully categorized.
Among the wooden compartments, there were several valuable ornaments, all of significant worth.
While Hayden was choosing the gift, Violeta became intrigued by a silver metal box she discovered in a cabinet.
The box bore no label, arousing her curiosity about its contents.
Upon opening the box, Violeta found brand–new children’s toys and a ring made of what appeared to be amber. The ring had a translucent and sparkling appearance.
She found it beautiful and decided to try it on her finger..
Under the sunlight, her fair skin complemented the honey hue of the amber, creating a stunning sight.
Meanwhile, Hayden had already chosen a desired gift and approached Violeta with the gift box. His expression froze when he noticed the ring on her finger.
“Where did you find it?” he asked.
Violeta turned to Hayden, puzzled, and replied, “It was in this box. What’s wrong? Is it valuable? I’m sorry. I just thought it looked nice, so I tried it on. I’ll take it off immediately.”
Hayden walked over, his expression slightly awkward.
“It’s nothing. It was a handmade item from my childhood and holds no significant value.”
“Huh? You made this? It’s actually quite lovely.”
“If you like it, then it’s yours.
“Really? That’s wonderful!”
Violeta gladly accepted the ring and kept it on her finger.
Hayden’s gaze fixated on her finger, and he spoke in a low tone, “Are you absolutely sure you want to keep wearing it without taking it off?”
“Can’t I?”
In the storage room, there were only the two of them.
Hayden’s eyes met Violeta’s puzzled gaze. He smiled and said, “This is the ring I made for my future bride
when I was a child.

Chapter 49 The Future Bride’s Ring
Violeta’s cheeks suddenly turned as red as a rose!
She quickly reached for the ring, intending to remove it, but somehow, perhaps due to her haste, it seemed more difficult to take off.
The ring ended up getting stuck around her knuckle.
“Wearing my ring means you have to marry me, you know,” Hayden teased.
Violeta was stunned.
“No, I didn’t know… I’ll give it back to you!”
Finally managing to remove the ring. Violeta hastily returned it to Hayden.
But Hayden didn’t reach out to take it. Violeta held the ring, feeling a bit awkward.
Hayden raised an eyebrow and playfully remarked, “Now that you’ve worn it, the ring seems to have stretched because of you.”
Violeta’s cheeks turned even redder, and she suddenly appeared slightly annoyed.
“It didn’t stretch! You’re making things up!”
The amber had long solidified. There was no way Violeta’s finger could have stretched it!
He was truly unhesitant to tell lies!
Hayden took the gift box and turned to leave the storage room, leaving with a parting comment, “I don’t mind. If the ring I made for my future bride gets ruined because of you, you’ll be responsible. Either marry me or give me an identical one.”
What?
Is there really such a shameless person in the world!
This feels like a setup!
It is a setup!
Zoren noticed and asked, “Vio, what’s wrong?
Hayden glanced at Zoren and coldly stated, “Go start the car. Let’s not waste time.”
Jasper responded, “Are you asking me? Who should I ask then?”
Violeta stood beside Hayden’s car, her gaze fixed on him.
He opened the car door, and Violeta stepped in, discreetly hiding the ring in a small compartment on the
Violeta picked up the ring and asked loudly. “Where did this come from?”
Upon hearing this, Zelena’s eyes lit up, and she speculated, “She goes to the cafe right after school every day. Could it be that she’s working there?”
