"Sophie!" James stepped forward, placing a small box into Sophie's hands.
Sophie frowned. "What's this?"
"It's what I owe you."
James didn’t elaborate, so Sophie opened the box to reveal a diamond ring inside.
When she had married James previously, there had been no wedding ceremony or ring, just a simple registration at the city hall without even a reception. His excuse at the time was that he was too busy.
But tonight, James had delivered the ring to her.
Sophie frowned, puzzled. "Why are you giving me a ring now?"
"I neglected your feelings before. I hope you can give me another chance," James pleaded.
Sophie had not expected such words from him, but she quickly regained her composure.
"Are you doing this because of the Russell family?" she asked sharply.
After all, she was a Russell, and the new commercial plaza that Burke International was launching involved major investments from the Russell family. The new mall of S Corporation was a significant blow to Burke International, and he couldn’t afford a divorce at such a crucial time.
James' face changed slightly upon hearing Sophie’s accusation. "Why do you always think I have ulterior motives?"
He grabbed her arm, his voice dropping. "Can't it just be because..."
He trailed off, lowering his voice even further. "Because I love you." His voice was barely a whisper.
Sophie was taken aback.
