Although he might not have been as wealthy as Mr. Grant, it was clear how much he adored Linton.
Shirley was happy for her.
Shirley led Annabelle and Aaron to the VIP area and served them black tea.
After a short wait, Shirley brought out the rings on a small tray.
Opening the box revealed two identical rings inside.
The ring featured a round setting, encircled by a halo of pavé diamonds. A perfectly sized pink diamond sat at the very center, creating a unique and delicate design.
The other ring was identical, except its central diamond was white.
Under the crystal chandelier, the two rings sparkled so dazzlingly it was hard to look away.
Annabelle loved the rings the moment she saw them.
'This was the second ring in her life, but it was the first time she had been allowed to choose one herself.'
'The one from Leona Grant was something he had picked out casually. She'd had no choice in the matter, yet she'd treasured it for so many years. The contrast was stark.'
