Chapter 412: Brother-in-law
Rhodes was telling the truth. He truly wasn’t prepared this time; he hadn’t even bought the most important thing, a ring.
He stood there, feeling slightly ashamed, clutching a small wooden ring in his hand, unsure if he should even bring it out. It had been hastily crafted using his magic from the Brambleback’s wood.
Although he’d carefully carved intricate, delicate patterns onto it, at the end of the day, it was still just wood.
Looking at Rhodes now, Mira felt amused, thinking how wooden he could sometimes be.
He had pleaded, hugged, and kissed her. Did it really matter what he was holding in his hands at this moment?
Didn’t she already know he’d been short on jewels lately?
Generously, Mira extended her left hand toward Rhodes, giving it a playful wave, her eyes sparkling with encouraging warmth.
Seeing this, Rhodes could only gently slide the wooden ring onto her middle finger, apologetically whispering, "This is just temporary; I’ll get you something better soon."
Mira withdrew her hand, examining the ring closely, tracing the delicate carvings with a gentle touch.
Then, holding her hand to her heart as though she’d just received the most precious treasure, she softly shook her head, saying, "No, you’ve given this to me; it’s mine now. I don’t want anything else."
After all, what was truly more valuable, a gift bought from a store or one handmade with care?
