Ferris remained silent with a cold expression.
Ashley beside him looked at me with a bright smile: “What a coincidence, Aurora. Ferris and I are also here to look at rings today.”
I sneered inwardly.
So the phone call Ferris had received earlier was from Ashley.
His “business” was accompanying Ashley shopping, accompanying her to look at rings?
Ferris offered no explanation, tacitly confirming Ashley’s words.
Ashley’s gaze fell on the ring on my hand.
She said in surprise: “Wow, that blue diamond in the center looks like it’s at least five carats. And there’s a circle of rare pink diamonds around it. This ring must cost at least seven or eight million, right?”
She appeared surprised, but her tone was actually quite provocative, seemingly questioning whether I had the financial means to purchase such a ring.
Regarding Ashley’s provocative words, I only gave a perfunctory “oh” and continued to admire the ring on my hand nonchalantly.
I had to admit, Adrian had excellent taste–I was very satisfied with this ring.
“Aurora, your ring is really beautiful. It must be very expensive,” Ashley said with a smile.
“Yes, I think it’s very beautiful too.”
Ferris’s expression was extremely ugly: “Aurora, didn’t you hear what I just said? Take off the ring.”
“Why?” I tilted my head to look at him with feigned confusion.
‘What are you trying rings for?”
Ferris could no longer contain himself and angrily said: “I told you, given our relationship, we don’t need things like wedding rings!”
Ashley’s lips curved in an barely perceptible arc, secretly pleased.
‘Aurora, Ferris and I are here today to try rings at Victoria’s suggestion.”
Ashley’s meaning was clear: she was the new daughter–in–law that Ferris’s mother favored, already receiving approval.
However, my expression was flawless.
