Tangled Temptations

Chapter 345

Inside it was a diamond ring. It was estimated to be 12 carats, a gem that could make any woman swoon.

Orlena was taken aback. Her eyes slowly welled up with tears. Years ago, when she and Brett were still an item, she had daydreamed countless times in his arms about a day when he would propose to her with such a ring. Back then, she was filled with hope for the future, and now, they have a child together.

The diamond ring had stayed in his pocket all this time. She wondered who was more unfortunate between the two of them.

Daniel clung to his mother. His soft voice was filled with concern. "Why is mom crying?"

Orlena shook her head.

Eloise gently patted Daniel's little head and pulled him into her arms. Her voice was barely above a whisper. "Orlena, I never asked him, but these years Brett always mentioned you, intentionally or unintentionally. I think this diamond ring is meant for you!"

She didn't make any excuses for Brett. Orlena had given up four precious years of her youth for Brett. How many years of youth does a woman have?

Eloise took Daniel and left, leaving Orlena alone. Orlena had an ad to shoot, but she was in a bad mood, sobbing heavily in the car. At this moment, she felt as helpless as the day she was abandoned by him.

Brett's jacket was still draped over her legs. She knew it was intentional. He wanted to trap her. This old man, he almost sold himself out for his so-called career. How could he casually wave a ring in front of her!

Orlena sobbed like a child. Her phone rang, and her assistant saw it was Brett. Having been with Orlena for a long time, she knew some of their history. She whispered, "It's Mr. Brett."

"I don't want to take it."

The assistant hesitated for a moment before picking up the call.

Brett on the other end didn't know it was the assistant. His voice was gentle. "Orlena, did you see the diamond ring in my pocket? Keep it for me. I want to use it to propose."

The assistant felt her scalp tingle. She swallowed hard and said, "Ms. Horigan is crying!"

Brett was silent for a moment. Then he said, "Let her answer the phone! If she doesn't, I will come over."
