Chapter 72

Jasmine looked at Nicolas in surprise.

She thought. They are just two cheap rings. Why is Nicolas so nervous?’

“Nicolas, what’s wrong? These two rings just fell out of your suit pocket, and Jasmine picked them up. There’s nothing to be nervous about!” Darren said from the side.

Jasmine feigned guilt and said, “It was my fault. I wanted to help you hang up your suit jacket, but I accidentally made the rings fall to the ground. These two rings must be very important to you.”

She apologized only because she wanted to understand why Nicolas cared so much about the rings.

Nicolas pressed his thin lips together, remaining silent for a long time.

He once thought these rings were not important at all, just cheap items he bought for the sake of getting married at the time.

During their three years of marriage, he had never cared about these wedding rings.

In fact, if he hadn’t accidentally seen them in a drawer, he wouldn’t even remember them.

But in the days since the divorce, he had kept these two rings with him, occasionally touching them.

He didn’t even know why he was doing this.

“It’s not important,” he said uncomfortably.

“If it’s not important, why were you so nervous just now! You even scared Jasmine.” Darren said, but a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes when his gaze fell on the ring in Nicolas’s hand.

Then, he said, “This ring looks a bit familiar to me. Right, isn’t this the wedding ring you bought when you married Zoya?”

The atmosphere immediately changed again as soon as these words were uttered.

Jasmine’s expression changed, and Nicolas instinctively clutched the two rings in his palm.

Seeing Nicolas remain silent, Darren immediately exclaimed in surprise, “No way, is that really your wedding ring?

“You’re already divorced, why are you still carrying this worthless thing around?”

Nicolas thought, ‘Worthless?’

Nicolas frowned. “Darren, even if you’re my friend, you can’t say that!”

Darren said indifferently, “What’s wrong with me saying that? You should have thrown away this thing long ago. Now you should really think about what kind of wedding ring you should buy for yourself and Jasmine.”

“Jasmine and I are just friends,” Nicolas said.

“Alright, it’s fine if you say that in front of others, but with just the three of us, saying that is really disrespectful to Jasmine!”

Darren said.

Nicolas’s expression changed slightly, and he turned to look at Jasmine

Jasmine forced a smile. “These are Nicolas and Zoya’s wedding rings. After all, they’ve been married for three years and then suddenly divorced.

“It’s not wrong for Nicolas to keep the wedding ring with him. And besides, Nicolas and I are indeed just friends now.”

“Friends? If you hadn’t gone abroad back then and Zoya hadn’t seized the opportunity, Nicolas would never have married Zoya. For the past three years, he’s only cared about you!” Darren said.

“Really? Jasmine looked at Nicolas with shining eyes.

Nicolas, for a moment, didn’t know what to say.

In the past, he indeed only cared about Jasmine. After Jasmine returned to the country, he did everything he could for her, wanting to repay her for saving his life.

But these past few days, he couldn’t help but recall every detail of his three-year marriage with Zoya, especially what Zoya said to him at the airport.

He thought, ‘Did Zoya truly save me life back then?’

“Nicolas, what are you spacing out for? Jasmine is waiting for your answer,” Darren urged.

Nicolas opened his mouth. “I…”

At this moment, Nicolas was speechless.

Seeing this, Jasmine’s eyes flickered slightly. She then said, “There’s no immediate rush for this matter.

“However, if I hadn’t gone abroad back then, we wouldn’t have missed out on three years.”

Jasmine, I just got divorced, so…”

Jasmine said, looking understanding, “I understand. The airline has given me a long holiday.

“Regarding the island development project in Marabotara I mentioned to you last time, I now have time to accompany you and introduce you to my mother’s family.

“They are involved in the island development project.”

Nicolas’s spirits lifted immediately when business matters were brought up. “Jasmine, thank you.”

“There’s no need to be so polite with me,” Jasmine said with a smile.

She wanted him to understand that she could secure projects for his company, just like Zoya did in the past, and even bring him bigger and better projects.

She thought, “Zoya will never be good enough to compare herself with me!’

Nicolas subtly breathed a sigh of relief. The Marabotara island project was extremely important for the company. He had to secure some projects, no matter what.

Furthermore, Zoya was also in Marabotara. Once he arrived there, he wanted to find Zoya and ask her why she said those things to him at the airport.

He thought, ‘Why did she spread such a lie about being the one who saved me back then?

After all, Jasmine is clearly the one who saved me!

After her parents were buried in the Martyrs’ Cemetery, Zoya spent most of the following days accompanying Wren, fulfilling her duty as a bodyguard.

At the same time, she also took some time to handle the properties her parents left in Marabotara.

After the funeral, Eowyn returned to Ranard City, while Harvey continued to stay in Marabotara.

When Zoya was handling her parents’ properties, Harvey stayed by her side.

He claimed he was quite familiar with the law and could help resolve any legal issues she might encounter during the inheritance process.

Even if he couldn’t resolve it, he could contact the most famous lawyers in Ranard City for help.

Zoya knew this was true. Harvey had graduated from law school back then, and if he hadn’t joined the army, he might have become a lawyer.

The four major law firms in Ranard City all had intricate connections with Harvey’s mom’s family.

The most famous lawyer in Ranard City was Harvey’s uncle.

So, Zoya had Harvey accompany her to handle her parents’ inheritance.

At the property trade center, Zoya held a number and waited for her turn.

Although she moved to Ranard City with her parents long ago, they lived in a military compound there, and her parents’ assets were all in Marabotara.

There were two properties in total. One was a house downtown, and the other was an old house in a town next to Marabotara.

For the house in the town, she would need to go there to complete the procedures in a few days.

Because her brother was currently missing, all these assets had to be transferred to her name.

Looking at her parents’ death certificates in her hand, along with the missing person’s report for her brother issued by the military, Zoya’s fingers gently traced her brother’s name on the documents.

“Zoya, are you still thinking about Oscar?” Harvey asked.

Oscar Lucero Oscar had already gone missing when he joined the army, so Harvey had never met him, only seen his photos.

“Yes,” Zoya softly replied, “I will definitely find him.”

“I’ll help you look,” Harvey said.

Zoya looked at him with relief, “If my brother knew I had such a good friend, he would surely be very happy and treat you as his younger brother as well!”

Harvey couldn’t help but furrow his brow and thought, ‘A younger brother?”

Once, in the role of a younger brother, he was closer to her than

anyone

else.

But now, he was afraid that in her eyes, he would forever remain just a younger brother.

“What if I don’t want to be just your younger brother?” he suddenly said.
