Chapter 240 A Ring, A Mask, A Game
Yunice sat sideways on the stool as Wyatt, seated across from her, reached out to take the wedding ring offered by the sales associate.
The diamond was massive–dazzling, overwhelming, practically blinding.
Finished
With practiced ease, Wyatt lifted Yunice’s hand and slid the ring onto her fourth finger. “What do you think?”
Yunice moved her hand slightly. “Too big.”
It was so heavy, it hurt.
Wyatt plucked the giant stone off her hand and tossed it casually onto the tray, then picked a slightly smaller pink diamond and slipped it on for her. “How about this?”
Yunice replied, “It’s fine.”
Wyatt leaned an elbow on the crystal display, gaze oppressive as he looked at the saleswoman.
Fine means she doesn’t like any of them.”
The woman’s face turned pale. She panicked, afraid Wyatt would think they weren’t putting in enough effort to satisfy the bride.
Flustered, she turned to Yunice, her voice both cautious and eager. “Miss, is there a particular style you prefer? Could you describe it for us?”
Yunice felt awkward. She knew Wyatt didn’t care about money–whatever he picked was guaranteed to be top–of–the–line. And honestly, to her, they were all fine.
They were just props for the wedding day, after all.
She hadn’t expected a throwaway comment to make things difficult for the staff.
But she understood–Wyatt wasn’t really scolding the saleswoman. He was warning her to take. this seriously.
This time, she didn’t brush it off. She thought carefully. “I want something subtle, something I can wear on regular days.”
Wyatt raised an eyebrow and smirked. “If we’re getting a ring, it should be huge. If it’s not flashy, people will say I’m stingy.”
“I want it loud.”
Yunice was speechless.
Then why bother letting me choose at all?
