Chapter 57

Serena was momentarily caught off guard, and she glanced down.

Only then did she realize that ever since getting her marriage certificate, she had formed a habit of wearing a decorative ring on her ring finger.

It kept unwanted attention at bay during social events and added a nice touch to her overall look. But she had forgotten to put it on in the rush of this business trip.

No wonder that big shot from earlier hadn't recognized her connection to Hugh.

"Right now," Hugh said, then paid the bill and stood up with startling decisiveness.

Serena also got up, following him into the largest jewelry store nearby.

Inside, an array of dazzling jewelry sparkled under the showroom lights, making Serena's head spin. She figured she'd just simply pick one.

But before she could even start browsing, Hugh spoke. "Bring out your best diamond ring."
