Chapter 543 The One Who Bought the Rings

Upon entering his wardrobe, Toby headed straight for the display case where he kept his watches, ties, and other designer accessories. Then, he placed the jewelry box into one of the empty compartments.

Having done so, he withdrew his hand and made to leave but stopped when he thought of something. The next second, he opened one of the drawers and took out a black velvet box.

The box was small and fit in his palm. He opened it with one hand to reveal the two rings nestled within. One of the rings was slightly larger than the other; they were matching wedding bands—specifically made for him and Sonia all those years ago.

He stared at the rings, his gaze darkening as he picked up one of them and began to turn it, inspecting the Fuller Family crest engraved beneath the band. The barest hint of a smile curled on his lips.

Sonia had always believed that she paid for their wedding bands, but in actuality, Toby had been the one who bought them while she was kept in the dark, hence the Fuller Family crest on the inside of the bands.

Six years ago, following his agreement to their marriage, Sonia dropped by the Fuller Residence to go over wedding details and the matter of wedding bands. However, Toby had been hypnotized back then, and all he could think about was Tina. He had felt unadulterated spite for Sonia, believing that she was holding him hostage through marriage. Consequently, he couldn’t care less about what she wanted for wedding decorations, and he had no interest in the wedding band designs; he had told her to make arrangements on her own and left home after that.

He hadn’t wanted to even be in the same room as her. However, he hadn’t expected to run into her at the mall that same day.

She had been standing at the counter of a jewelry store, single-handedly picking out their wedding bands, which turned out to be the same ones he was currently holding.

Back then, she had probably been so overwhelmed by the joy of her upcoming wedding that she never bothered looking into the price of the rings before asking the retail assistant to bag them up.

The rings had been valued at two million, but given how the Reed Family were on the brink of bankruptcy, there was no way Sonia could have forked out the money. Buying the rings would have inevitably crippled her and the rest of the family.

Realizing this, Toby intervened and showed up in the lounge behind the jewelry store. He paid more than a million in secret, then ordered that the Fuller Family crest be engraved on the inside of the wedding bands.

At that point in time, he had been bewildered by his own behavior. He had considered the possibility that he might be insane because there seemed to be no other explanation as to why he would pay for a woman he hated so much.

It was only after he had snapped out of the hypnotism and fallen in love with Sonia again that he understood one thing: she had haunted the back of his mind even while he was hypnotized, but he never realized it.
