Chapter 274.2
Lady Ditheo was a lady with rich gestures as she spoke. And everytime she held up her hand in the air, a rock sized jewel glittered on her finger. Compared to that, all Eugene had around her finger was a plain ring.
He was no expert, but he knew the size of a jewel doesn’t always proportional to what it’s worth. Moreover, everyone has different preferences. And that particular red, walnut sized rock ring around the lady’s finger didn’t seem like it would look good on Eugene either.
Stll, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy deep down in his heart. And he can’t recall exactly when, but he did make a mental memo that she was very much fond of jewelry.
‘Right. I believe it was the day we went to the treasure house.’
How she couldn’t quite take her eyes off from the necklace, which was designated as a national treasure, along with a graphic exclamation of delight, flashed on Kasser’s mind all of sudden. He reproached himself for not thinking of giving her a necklace as a gift. But come to think of it, he hasn’t given any gift to his wife before.
Lady Ditheo’s huge ring must have caught Dana’s eyes as well, since Kasser could faintly hear his mother-in-law asking the lady about the ring.
“My ring? I guess it’s a little too extravagant, isn’t it? To tell the truth, I only got it from my husband on my birthday after much begging and pleading. Wouldn’t you think it would have been wonderful if it was a surprise gift from him? Men really are thoughtless.”
Lady Ditheo started to backbite not only her husband, but how thoughtless and insensitive all men could be, at length. And her every word reverberated in Kasser’s ears, along her loud, resonant voice.
Feeling uneasy, Kasser averted his gaze from her. He was about to turn away when his eyes caught sight of the attendant who was attending to another lady. The male attendant was showing the lady a necklace which was carefully laid on the velvet fabric in a tray.
