Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 7

Joshua: [Hey, Allie. The engagement ring I custom-made for you at Tiffany & Co. has arrived at their store in Havenbrook. Stop by when you get a chance to check it out.]

Allison was surprised that the ring was ready so quickly since she had only agreed to the engagement a few days ago. Was it pre-ordered? She didn't bother to ask and just replied with a simple: [Okay.]

Inside the store, the sales associate greeted her warmly and presented the ring. "Ms. Allison, here is the ring Mr. Fisher had specially made for you."

Allison picked up the ring and took a closer look. The ring featured a rare five-carat blue diamond surrounded by smaller pink and colorless diamonds, sparkling brilliantly under the store lights.

"The inside is engraved with your and Mr. Fisher's initials," the associate added.

Allison examined it carefully and saw the letters engraved inside. Clearly, a lot of thought had gone into it. She slipped the ring onto her finger—it fit perfectly.

"It's absolutely stunning," the sales associate complimented sincerely.

Just as she admired the ring, Shawn's voice unexpectedly broke the moment. "Allison, what are you doing here?"

Allison frowned and turned around. As she did, Shawn let go of Kate's hand. A fleeting look of anger flashed in Kate’s eyes but was quickly replaced by her usual demeanor.

Seeing Shawn with Kate didn't surprise Allison one bit. She smiled sweetly and said, "Trying on a ring, obviously."

Shawn approached, his expression darkened when he saw the ring on Allison's hand. She waved the dazzling diamond ring playfully and asked, "What do you think? Isn't it beautiful?"

A glint of anger flickered in Shawn's eyes. "No, it's not."

Shawn's face was a storm. "Allison, take the ring off."

"Why?" Allison asked, feigning innocence and tilting her head at him.

"Why are you trying on the ring? To pressure me into marriage?" Shawn snapped, his temper flaring. "I will never marry you!"

Kate's lips curled into a subtle, smug smile. "Allison, Shawn and I are here at Cindy’s request to try rings."

Cindy was Shawn’s mother. Kate’s message was clear: I’m the daughter-in-law Shawn’s mom wants, so Allison, you should stop dreaming about joining the Reynolds family.

Allison watched the duo with amusement. She was merely trying on the engagement ring her fiancé had custom-made for her, and here they were, making a scene as if something epic had happened.
