Across the table, Seth let out a low chuckle, his chest vibrating softly. He was in an exceptionally good mood.

After dinner, Seth calmly took her hand in his. She felt something cool and smooth slip onto her ring finger and looked down.

A diamond ring now sat on her left hand.

“A Valentine’s gift,” Seth’s voice was a low murmur. “Do you like it, Mrs. Thorne?”

He reached out and gently stroked her hair, his eyes full of affection. “I’m glad.”

Ondine looked down, her eyelashes trembling. “But I forgot it was Valentine’s Day. I didn’t get you anything.”

His gaze was soft, his affection undisguised. “Having you by my side is the best gift I could ask for.”

Her head snapped up, and she met his deep, loving eyes. For a moment, she felt herself start to fall.

Zaria’s words echoed in her mind: “The moment Ethel returns, he’ll get back together with her.”
