During the meal, with Dolores present, Elaine was less restrained and uncomfortable than before, and much more relaxed.

Dolores would ask her about her experiences over the past two years, and Elaine would answer in a colorful way.

Those experiences, or funny, sad, or hard, or lonely.

But perhaps that's why the current get-together is so precious.

Christine sits next to her and occasionally asks Dolores a question or two along with her words.

The whole atmosphere, gradually from detachment, slowly become warm up.

Elaine was talking to both of them with a big and bright smile on her face, her eyes curved and full of light.

Darnell sat next to her and watched her, the corners of his lips curling up gently.

When she finished eating, Elaine was about to leave when Christine called her back, then turned around and took a box from the maid and opened it, inside was a crystal clear ring.

She put this on Elaine's hand: "There's nothing I can give you after all you've bought me, so take this back with you."

Elaine opened her mouth, even though Christine did not mention the origin of the ring, she could tell at a glance that it was worth a lot of money.

She subconsciously turned her head to look at Darnell, who raised his eyebrows slightly, signaling her to take it.

Elaine gathered her courage, went up and hugged Christine, and whispered, "Thank you Auntie Christine."

Christine gave a rare smile and gently patted her back: "No need to be polite with me, just come and stay with me more often when you have time."

Elaine nodded, "I will."

On the way back, Elaine looked over and over again at the ring Christine had given her, loving it as if it was more than the ring Darnell had given her in the first place.

She tentatively asked Darnell, "Auntie Christine this means she accepts me, right?"
