Gina Sutton’s face looked a little unpleasant, standing there stiffly, awkward and unsure how to respond.
If she called him, wouldn’t that be falling into the trap Summer Sutton had set?
But just a moment ago, she was pretending to be all sisterly with Summer!
She had already called Summer "sister," so isn’t it only natural to call Adrian Walyon "brother-in-law"?
Adrian didn’t expect Summer to suddenly say such a thing.
He leisurely watched her, his lips curling slightly.
This woman really has a way!
Great, he liked this side of Summer!
Gina remained silent for a long time after Summer’s words.
Summer assumed she wouldn’t be able to say it, ignored her, and went upstairs.
Annoyed that Summer had just embarrassed her, seeing only Summer going upstairs, Gina followed.
She originally intended to mock Summer when they were alone, but when she got upstairs, the bedroom was empty.
The bathroom light was on, and there was the sound of running water; it seemed Summer was doing something inside.
Gina stood at the bedroom door for a while, intending to wait for her to come out.
But when her eyes swept across the room and landed on the dressing table, she froze.
On the dressing table was a ring, small and its design unremarkable, very simple.
However, the diamond inlaid on the band was valuable, judging by the color alone.
It was the wedding ring of Summer and Adrian.
Since getting married, Summer always wore it, only taking it off for baths or when her hands needed to touch things like face wash or hand cream.
Gina often saw Summer wearing the ring and knew it must mean a lot to her.
After quietly staring at the ring for a moment, she tiptoed inside, quietly took the ring, and left the room silently.
Downstairs, acting as if nothing had happened, she continued chatting with Diana Wood in the living room.
"Gina, where did you just go?" Diana asked casually.
"I just casually toured the house," Gina smiled and said.
Unaware of what had transpired, Diana continued chatting with her.
Summer stayed in the bathroom for a while, coming out just as it was time for lunch.
A servant came upstairs to convey the message that everyone was already at the dining table, waiting for her.
Afraid that her family would wait too long, Summer went downstairs directly after coming out.
Dinners at the Walyons were always lively.
The Suttons had lunch with the Walyons, and during the meal, Gina acted as if nothing had happened, chatting and laughing with Diana.
Summer and Gina never really got along, and her cold demeanor towards Gina was quite obvious.
Ignoring her, Summer ate her meal quietly.
After lunch, Sophie Walyon pulled her away to play some games, and Summer still hadn’t thought about the ring.
It wasn’t until the evening, when she was getting ready to take a shower before bed, that she habitually went to remove the ring and discovered her left ring finger was bare.
Upon looking at the dressing table where she previously placed the ring, there was nothing there.
Summer was dumbfounded on the spot.
Adrian didn’t seem to notice the issue yet; once he returned to the room, he began to hold her inappropriately, burying his face in her neck and kissing her lightly and deeply.
Summer was in no mood for such things, her mind entirely occupied with the missing wedding ring.
She remembered placing the ring on the dressing table at noon.
How could it be gone?
Adrian seemed displeased with her lack of focus, suddenly biting her forcefully. Latest content published on NoveI(F)ire.net
