"I always thought that the previous ring was inauspicious. Having gone through so much, I wanted to change our rings and start our life anew."
As he said this, he took off the ring from my hand and put on the new diamond ring.
The ring on my hand emitted a charming light under the candle's radiance.
Although it was not just these external conditions that mattered to me, I was very happy to be treated as such.
After I helped Theo up, I looked at the new ring. My eyes inadvertently became wet. He went abroad to work but still did not forget to prepare surprises. This was what moved me the most.
"Where's your previous ring?" I picked up the old diamond ring and asked him.
Theo took out the diamond ring from his jacket pocket and handed it to me. "Here it is."
I put these two old rings into the new box and held them in my hands before lifting them up to him." Regardless, they have accompanied us through so many years, so let's keep them as a memento."
"As you wish, Madam. Come, take a seat."
We sat down face-to-face. The dishes were decided by Caroline with consideration to my body. Hence, they
were all food I could and should eat.
The candlelight dinner tonight was a surprise, and I was very satisfied. At the same time, I was also very happy with my decision.
Late at night, we were lying on the bed. I leaned against him and told him the things that happened the past few days. I had only spoken to Theo about some of them on the phone at the time, so I was filling in the details now. I also included the house renting incident today and told him about it.
He replied gently, "You've been in contact with Drover quite a bit these days."
