Watching You Burn In Regret novel Chapter 30

"Oh! Now I remember—this is the legendary final masterpiece by the world-renowned jeweler, Mr. Shadow, from ten years ago, isn't it?!"

"There are fifty-one tiny diamonds set around the band, fifty-two in total—each one representing a reason for loving someone most."

"I heard that this ring set was a custom design, commissioned specifically from Mr. Shadow. It's worth, get this, a full ten million dollars."

Ten million dollars.

Seren stared in shock.

Then she remembered Lennon saying she wasn't into wearing wedding bands, so he just kept it as a keepsake.

She couldn't help but draw a sharp breath.

Whether you wore a ten-million-dollar ring or just left it lying around as decoration, it was all terribly extravagant.

Nadine was still trying to recall more details. "I remember the rings had a dreamy name too, what was it called again? It's on the tip of my tongue…"

"…Oh! I've got it. 'Seren's Star'!"

Nadine gave a low whistle. "'Seren's Star'—all eyes on you. Lennon really knew what he was doing picking out this wedding ring. He must've put a lot of thought into it."

Because of this ring, Nadine's opinion of Lennon shot up a few notches.

People always say, if you want to know whether a man truly values a woman, just look at how much effort he's willing to put in for her.

If Lennon could be so thorough with something as simple as choosing a ring, Nadine was convinced Seren would never be neglected by his side.

Honestly, he was leagues better than the Powers family, who'd never even bothered to get Seren a ring in the first place.

Thinking of the Powers family made Nadine's lips curl in open disdain.

Everyone knew how shameless they'd been back then—making it clear they didn't want to give Seren a wedding, or even a wedding band. They'd made all sorts of grand excuses about "making things up to her later on, after the relationship was more stable."

Their nerve was truly something to behold.

Seren, meanwhile, looked a little dazed.

Ten years ago...?

Seren's Star.

Those words kept echoing in her mind, reminding her of something Shirley had mentioned earlier that day: Lennon had supposedly prepared the wedding gift ten years ago.

If what Nadine said was true, and Seren's Star really was Mr. Shadow's final piece from a decade ago, and the name even matched hers—was this all just coincidence? Or had Lennon really had this ring set aside for her all those years?
