I wasn’t sure which to choose seeing as I was so stunned by the sight of the sapphire diamond ring that was worth 1.2 million dollars.

That’s enough to buy at least two mansions. Enough to feed a good bit of poor people too. I didn’t want him to spend this much money on me. Not when I clearly did not deserve it.

His mouth tugs into a grin a second later. He heard me.
