The Mysterious Wife

Chapter 251 Forever and Forever

Ethan was on the hot seat now. As a result, he had no choice but to use countless lies to cover up the first one. “Well, after the Larson family went bankrupt, they sold tons of valuable antiques, paintings and rare calligraphy that had been collected for so many years. My grandmother liked to collect all kinds of precious and beautiful jewelry when she was alive. She loved them so much. My grandfather didn't want to take them away from her. so he let her stay with them. After her death years later, my mother inherited her favorite jewelry. She held them so dear to her heart that she couldn't sell them, even in her hardest time. She later passed them on to me. Those two rings were between them.” . Ethan decided not to go into details. Too many details would expose hints of his well-disguised lies. Nonetheless, he insisted on giving a reasonable explanation. His words weren't entirely false. Some of the details were actually true.

the platinum emerald ring was just like he'd told Janet. It was his grandmother's.

like and

“Oh, I see. I was extremely shocked to hear the store clerk's words today. We are not financially stable. It is practically impossible for you to buy such an expensive ring. I got up and left without saying anything else to her. Something looked suspicious. At that moment, I felt that they were just winding us up because they had secretly called the police. Thank God we didn't have any problems back there.”: Janet held her chest and breathed a sigh of relief after she finished talking

She swallowed her husband's words, hook, line and sinker. That's because she knew the Larson family used to be rich in the past. It seemed totally normal that Ethan had inherited such priceless jewelry from his mother. “Well, keep the ring then.” Ethan smiled when he saw that she was calm and no longer tense. He looked at her intently and buried his face in her neck. After inhaling her scent, he affectionately asked, “Babe, do you want to come back to my room tonight?”

Janet's mind was still preoccupied with thoughts of her mother-in-law’s family. A lingering fear tugged at her heart as she stared at the blue diamond ring. “Ethan, why didn’t you tell me this story sooner? I had no idea I was wearing such a valuable ring. Honestly, I thought it was just a cheap one you bought at a mere jewelry store. What if I had broken or lost? I would have been heartbroken,” Janet complained with a pout after pinching her arm. “Isn't it obvious why I didn't tell you? Janet, you are so modest. Be honest with me. Would you agree to use it if I told you how much it's worth?”I

Ethan's pupils grew darker and darker. He swallowed hard as he looked at her beautiful face. His mind was elsewhere. It had been a long time since he'd been intimate with her. A pleasant burning sensation was already reaching his groin. He really wanted to make love to her.

“Gee, that's not an excuse. Did you forget that I told you to buy a regular ring? Why did you have to give me such a valuable one without my knowledge?” Janet looked at him with wide eyes. However, her expression was still kind and gentle.

She tried to take the ring off her finger as she spoke. But Ethan held her hand. The light in the room caught the diamond, and then its blue light cast a shadow on the high bridge of her nose.

“I haven't forgotten what you said. It's just that this is your wedding ring, a symbol that indicates that you are my wife.

How could I have gotten a cheap one? Remember you promised at the altar to stay with me until death do us part.

You're my wife, so you can't take it off and give it back to me, even if you're not comfortable with the price. You

are mine, always and forever,” Ethan uttered possessively. The expression on his face was as serious as Janet had never seen it before. His words were so hot it felt like

as if they were being etched into your heart with ease. Janet found her words deathly charming. She was lost in her surroundings as she looked into his deep eyes. Her firm tone was making her fall more in love with him. It was obvious that Janet was upset about what had happened between him and Charis, but she wasn't thinking about that right now. She was thinking about what he just said. Not knowing what to say, Janet ducked her head to avoid eye contact with him. An inexplicable heat was in her heart. She felt like there was a red balloon that was increasing in size in her heart. Ethan's words echoed in her head and she couldn't help but blush.
