Chapter 10: This thing is a bit expensive
Elena took a look at the price and thought to herself, “If I buy this pair of rings, I’ll lose all the money I have, and I won’t be able to go anywhere. But if she did not buy it, Fred Garner will not let her go so easily today. Besides, if she bought this ring, she should also be able to return it, right?
“Will this be… will it be too big?” Elena looked at the 2-carat diamond on it and almost fell down, she didn’t have enough money on her to pay for it.
“No, you can wear it and see.” Fred Garner said and took Elena’s right hand and put it on for her very seriously.
“Mr. really has a good eye, the lady’s hand is both white and slender, this style could not be more suitable.” The sales clerk immediately said with a smile on her face.
“You’d say that no matter who bought it.” Elena whispered.
“Honey, it does look beautiful, so this is the pair.” Fred Garner heard Elena’s low coo and immediately said.
“But it’s so expensive and I don’t have that much cash on me.” Elena was already riding a tiger at this point. Even though her dad had given her a credit card, this pair of rings was already over half a million dollars, she really didn’t have that much money.
Fred Garner looked at Elena’s expression and had some hesitation himself. If he took out so much money all at once now, would the woman have any idea?
“But wife, you are willing to marry a man like me, I am very touched, this wedding ring must be bought, either this way, or when I have money in the future, I will definitely buy this pair.”
“Okay, then buy it later, today we’ll buy a simple one.” Elena said, pointing to a pair of rings without diamonds signaling the teller to take them out.
“Honey, sorry.” Fred Garner apologised.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“No, I’m already grateful that you’re willing to marry me, otherwise I don’t know what I would have done today.” Elena looked at the white gold ring on her hand, but her mother’s words echoed in her ears.
Since she had to marry, she would, only she would never marry Daniel. Looking at Fred Garner, who had gone to pay the bill, Elena decided to take him back.
For more than twenty years, she has never gone against her mother’s wishes, but this time, she really can not compromise. Already three times, she never wanted to go on a blind date again. If the price of being a good daughter, is her own happiness for life, then she would rather not be a good daughter again.
She doesn’t want to be a good daughter who never goes against the grain anymore. She wants to be her true self, that’s even if she gets expelled from the house.
“Honey, let’s go back to see my parents together.” Looking at the wedding ring on her hand, Elena decided to give her mother a taste of what she wanted. It was all about getting married anyway, and it didn’t matter to her mother who she married, right, as long as she did.
“To your house?” Fred Garner was surprised, not understanding what Elena Costa was thinking at this point, “Just like this now?”
He looked down at himself, except for his beard, which was quite clean, indeed nothing to see, except this woman, who seemed very reluctant to take him back before, right?
“Yes, that’s it.” Elena nodded her head with certainty.
“Can you tell me why?” Fred Garner took Elena’s hand and walked out of the mall, he didn’t like being used as a pawn by a woman, he was especially confused.
“Let’s get in the car and I’ll tell you slowly.” Elena looked at her ‘husband’ who was still a stranger in front of her and decided to tell what had happened to her because it was really hard.
