Chapter 49 The Future Bride’s Ring

At Hayden’s residence, they indulged in the beauty of nature, appreciating the birds and flowers.

After lunch, they decided to depart in the very afternoon.

Before leaving. Hayden took Violeta to the well–organized storage room to select something as a gift to

her.

Inside the storage room, everything was neatly arranged, with items carefully categorized.

Among the wooden compartments, there were several valuable ornaments, all of significant worth.

While Hayden was choosing the gift, Violeta became intrigued by a silver metal box she discovered in a cabinet.

The box bore no label, arousing her curiosity about its contents.

Upon opening the box, Violeta found brand– new children’s toys and a ring made of what appeared to be amber. The ring had a translucent and sparkling appearance.

She found it beautiful and decided to try it on her finger..

Under the sunlight, her fair skin complemented the honey hue of the amber, creating a stunning sight.

Meanwhile, Hayden had already chosen a desired gift and approached Violeta with the gift box. His expression froze when he noticed the ring on her fin

“Where did you find it?” he asked.

Violeta turned to Hayden, puzzled, and replied, “It was in this box. What’s wrong? Is it valuable? I’m sorry. I just thought it looked nice, so I tried it on. I’ll

Hayden walked over, his expression slightly awkward.

“It’s nothing. It was a handmade item from my childhood and holds no significant value.”

“Huh? You made this? It’s actually quite lovely.”

“If you like it, then it’s yours.

“Really? That’s wonderful!”

Violeta gladly accepted the ring and kept it on her finger.

Hayden’s gaze fixated on her finger, and he spoke in a low tone, “Are you absolutely sure you want to keep wearing it without taking it off?”

“Can’t I?”

In the storage room, there were only the two of them.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Hayden’s eyes met Violeta’s puzzled gaze. He smiled and said, “This is the ring I made for my future bride

when I was a child.

Chapter 49 The Future Bride’s Ring

Violeta’s cheeks suddenly turned as red as a rose!

She quickly reached for the ring, intending to remove it, but somehow, perhaps due to her haste, it seemed more difficult to take off.

The ring ended up getting stuck around her knuckle.

“Wearing my ring means you have to marry me, you know,” Hayden teased.

Violeta was stunned.

“No, I didn’t know… I’ll give it back to you!”

Finally managing to remove the ring. Violeta hastily returned it to Hayden.

But Hayden didn’t reach out to take it. Violeta held the ring, feeling a bit awkward.

Hayden raised an eyebrow and playfully remarked, “Now that you’ve worn it, the ring seems to have stretched because of you.”

Violeta’s cheeks turned even redder, and she suddenly appeared slightly annoyed.

“It didn’t stretch! You’re making things up!”

The amber had long solidified. There was no way Violeta’s finger could have stretched it!

He was truly unhesitant to tell lies!

Hayden took the gift box and turned to leave the storage room, leaving with a parting comment, “I don’t mind. If the ring I made for my future bride gets r

What?

Is there really such a shameless person in the world!

This feels like a setup!

It is a setup!

Leaving the Frost family’s residence, Violeta held the return gift with a slightly displeased expression.

Zoren noticed and asked, “Vio, what’s wrong?

Violeta muttered, “Nothing.”

Hayden glanced at Zoren and coldly stated, “Go start the car. Let’s not waste time.”

Jasper approached, putting his arm around Zoren’s shoulder, and whispered, “Let’s go quickly. Something’s going on between Hade and Vio!”

As Zoren moved forward, he whispered, “What’s happening?”

Jasper responded, “Are you asking me? Who should I ask then?”

Chapter 49 The Future Bride’s Ring

The three of them proceeded to start the car,

Violeta stood beside Hayden’s car, her gaze fixed on him.

Hayden walked over helplessly, his eyes carrying a hint of indulgence. “Shall I open the door for you before you get in?”

He opened the car door, and Violeta stepped in, discreetly hiding the ring in a small compartment on the

car door.

She thought Hayden was unaware.

However, when Violeta returned to the White family in the afternoon and took Tuna out of her bag, she was surprised to find the amber ring on Tuna’s pa

Violeta picked up the ring and asked loudly. “Where did this come from?”

Tuna looked at Violeta with innocent eyes, then walked to the side and playfully tugged at a slipper.

Holding the ring. Violeta sighed deeply twice.

After giving Jasper the promotional discount voucher for Sunset Cafe, he made several copies, asked tennis club members to distribute them, and also took some to distribute in his class.

News about the opening of Sunset Cafe at the beginning of the month quickly spread, and for the first three days of its opening, there was an 80% disco

After school every day, Violeta would also visit Sunset Cafe to see if any areas needed improvement before the official opening.

Gillian happened to discover that Violeta would head to the cafe right after school.

The next day, Gillian informed Zelena about this.

Upon hearing this, Zelena’s eyes lit up, and she speculated, “She goes to the cafe right after school every day. Could it be that she’s working there?”

“Huh? Violeta is working at the cafe?”

“It’s a possibility! Violeta needs money for her studies. If she doesn’t have any, she might need to work part–time.”

Zelena also thought it was quite likely.

Because Violeta’s card had been blocked for a while, she had no money to use.

Even though she had a connection with Jasper, he wasn’t a fool. How could he possibly keep giving money. to support Violeta all the time?/

So, in order to sustain her school expenses, Violeta must be working part–time to earn her tuition.

That girl must be working at Sunset Cafe!

Moreover, if Jasper hasn’t been giving Violeta money, they are likely already fed up with her. It wouldn’t be surprising if they kicked her out soon!

When that happened…

Hmph! Without Jasper and the others protecting her, let’s see how Violeta could still compete with her!

Zelena became more convinced about this in her heart.

“Oh, by the way, Lena, look at this.”

Gillian took out the discount voucher from her bag. “I heard that Violeta gave this discount voucher to Jasper and the others to distribute in the tennis club! I got one last tim

Zelena suddenly smiled, and the mockery in her eyes was hard to conceal

“Why is Violeta like this? If she’s out of money, she could just return to her parents and ask for help. Violeta is just too stubborn. Oh well, I feel sorry for h

The few of them exchanged glances.

“Lena, she’s treated you like this, and you’re still thinking about helping with the cafe business. You don’t have to care so much for her. Violeta is not wor

Yeah, if we go, Violeta is so petty, she might think you’re there to show off!”

They were right. Zelena did go there to show off!

Otherwise, did they think Zelena would support Violeta out of goodwill?

But she didn’t show it She pretended to be conflicted, lowered her eyelashes, and said softly. “Huft! I believe Violeta will one day understand my well– intentioned efforts!”
