Matilda had a fake smile on her face.
“It’s okay Andie, your brother loves you too.”
She deliberately emphasized the word “brother” very heavily.
“Roderick, maybe your sister thought this one was too expensive. How about choosing a different ordinary style?”
“Shut up!”
Roderick didn’t even look back, his voice as cold as ice.
Matilda dug her fingertips deep into the palm, and fell silent.
Andrea took the opportunity to pull back her hand, took a step back, and knocked over the decorative vase next to the display case.
In the crisp cracking sound, she stared at the mess on the ground and suddenly felt absurdly funny.
For seven years, he’s been doing this, using expensive gifts to cover up the hurt. Now he’s trying the same trick again, thinking a pink diamond can keep her from leaving.
“I said I didn’t want to.”
She lifted her head, her gaze eerily calm.
Before the words even finished, there came the sound of steady footsteps outside the frosted glass door.
Quinn walked in wearing a smoke gray designer suit, with a silver gray

tie clip shining coldly at the collar, and the wristwatch dial pecking out from the cuff emitting a mysterious blue sheen.
He pushed his gold–rimmed glasses and his gaze landed accurately on Andrea’s wrist, which was marked with redness.
“What a coincidence.”
Andrea subconsciously tried to hide her hand, but Roderick held it even tighter.
Quinn looked up at Roderick.
“Mr. Hodgson was in a good mood, so he asked his sister, who had just been discharged from the hospital, to go ring shopping with you guys?”
He deliberately emphasized the word “sister” and saw Roderick’s pupils suddenly contract.
“It’s really you.”
Roderick strode forward, lowering his voice to warn.
“Don’t even think about Andie! She’s mine!”
Quinn chuckled, “Why is Mr. Hodgson so excited?”
The moment he looked up, the gaze behind the lenses turned as cold as
a knife. “After all, Mr. Hodgson has a fiancee, right?”
“Did you also come to pick out a ring?”
Andrea stepped forward.
Seeing her, the hostility in their eyes dissipated tacitly.
“Picking out an engagement ring for my fiancee.”

Quinn’s voice was deep and mellow, as he ran his fingers across the display case glass, “Unfortunately, there hasn’t been a suitable style so far.”
“Maybe you should ask your fiancee’s preferences first?”
Andrea calmly gave advice.
Quinn’s gaze fell on the forgotten pink diamond.
“This one is not bad.”
Roderick frowned, sounding impatient.
“This is Andie’s.”
Andrea immediately waved her hand.
“No problem, just go ahead and look, we haven’t paid yet anyway.”
The air froze for a moment, Quinn’s eyes behind the golden glasses suddenly lit up, a low chuckle mixed with the scent of cedar wafted
over.
“A gentleman doesn’t take away what others like.”
When he turned around, he rattled off a series of numbers to the clerk, “Based on this size, please bring out all the suitable rings in the store for me to see.‘
Andrea was taken aback.
“How come it’s so coincidental?”
She looked at Quinn’s smile behind the lens, “Exactly the same as my ring size.”
“Indeed, it was a coincidence.”

Quinn’s tone trailed off with a meaningful are, her gaze lingering on her flushed wrist bone for half a second.
Roderick watched the interaction between the two of them, his face growing darker.
In the end. Quinn still didn’t find the perfect ring, so that pink diamond stayed in the store.
When Matilda was leaving, she wanted to get in Roderick’s car, but he coldly shut the door on her.
