After searching in the garden for a long time, her fingers dug through the soil until they bled, and finally, she found the ring in the soil by the roadside.
However, when she found it, the band was severely deformed, the diamond had fallen off, and the ring was completely ruined.
Summer Sutton stared stiffly at the damaged ring, feeling indescribable pain at that moment.
She didn’t even know why she was heartbroken, clearly not having spent a penny on it, yet her heart felt heavy.
Because of last night’s incident, Adrian Walyon was already upset.
Now that the ring was finally found but destroyed , Summer Sutton dared not tell Adrian Walyon.
Carefully put the ring away, took it back to the room, rinsed all the dirt off with water, cleaned it up, and placed it in a jewelry box.
Tonight Adrian Walyon was a bit late returning home; by ten o’clock, there was still no sign of him at home.
Usually, if he wasn’t coming home for dinner, he’d call Summer Sutton, but today he didn’t.
When he returned at eleven, he still carried the same morning chill.
Without speaking, he went into his study to work for a while, and then returned to the room at midnight where he took a shower and got into bed.
There was no exchange between him and Summer Sutton; he closed his eyes and quietly fell asleep.
He didn’t speak, and Summer Sutton didn’t speak either; the atmosphere between them was eerily tense.
Actually, when she married Adrian Walyon, the ideal state of the marriage for Summer Sutton was that Adrian ignored her, and they each led their own lives.
However, when today, this moment suddenly happened, Summer Sutton found herself not quite accustomed to it...
Their cold war continued for several days.
Originally, Summer Sutton was picked up and dropped off by Adrian Walyon each day, but seeing his foul mood in recent days, Summer Sutton instinctively took taxis to and from school without waiting for him.
On Wednesday evening, after class, a downpour suddenly began.
Summer Sutton hadn’t brought an umbrella.
Walking down the teaching building with Zoe Baxter, gazing at the curtain of rain, Zoe Baxter suggested, "Summer, why don’t you sleep in the dorm tonight? Look at the rain, it’s too heavy to go back now!"
Summer Sutton lifted her face, stared at the rainy scene for a bit, thinking that Adrian Walyon wouldn’t possibly come to pick her up. Even if she went back, they’d continue their cold war. She planned to share an umbrella with Zoe Baxter and head back to the dorm. As they walked out of the teaching building, Zoe Baxter suddenly gasped.
Summer Sutton was startled, her gaze followed Zoe’s line of sight, and she looked at the man standing in the rain with a big black umbrella. Her footsteps slowly stopped, and she stood there dumbfounded.
"Your husband is here!" Zoe Baxter hadn’t seen Adrian Walyon pick up Summer Sutton for a few days, seemingly surprised too. This content belongs to novel~fire~net
"If you were arguing, have a proper talk when you get back. Marriage isn’t easy, I’ll go ahead." Zoe Baxter patted her shoulder and discreetly disappeared from view.
Once she left, there was no shelter above Summer Sutton’s head, and the raindrops splattered down on her face.
She’s always been stubborn.
Adrian Walyon didn’t say anything, and she didn’t take the initiative to approach, just stood there.
Adrian Walyon squinted his eyes, staring at her for a while, and coldly spat out two words, "Are you foolish?"
Standing in the rain, Summer Sutton rapidly got soaked like a wet chicken, looking indeed a bit foolish.
But hadn’t he also not taken the initiative to walk toward her?
If he didn’t say anything, how was she to know if he came to pick her up or was visiting someone else he knew?
After all, they’d been in a cold war for several days...
