The first thing he did after waking up was to ask the nurse, “Is Karissa okay?”
He breathed a sigh of relief only after receiving the nurse’s confirmation. “It’s good that Karissa is fine. It doesn’t matter how I am.”
It was also from that time that Karissa completely fell in love with the man who was willing to protect her with his life.
She didn’t understand why Stanley could love her on one hand and freely sleep with another woman on the other.
So it’s true–a man can separate love from lust, can’t he?
Karissa touched the wedding ring on her finger and then took it off.
She happened to come across a disabled beggar on the roadside, and in front of him, there were only a few coins in his broken bowl.
Karissa walked over and dropped the ring into the bowl.
“Take this ring and sell it, the money will be enough to buy a house and start a small business.”
The beggar was extremely grateful.
Actually, Karissa was being a bit more tactful.
This ring was personally customized by Stanley with a foreign designer, and the diamonds on it alone are worth millions.
But now, she didn’t want it anymore.
If the wedding ring symbolizes love and loyalty, then her wedding ring, at this moment, was worth nothing.
The phone rang, it was Stanley.
“Karissa, where are you? Someone delivered hot chocolate home and said you weren’t there.”
His tone was very urgent, as if he was genuinely worried about her.
Karissa simply said, “I just go out for a walk.”
“Where are you? I’ll come and pick you up now.”
“No need, I’ll go back now.”
“No, you are on your period today. I’m worried.”
Stanley arrived quickly, taking less than five minutes.
He hurriedly got out of the car, took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders, and held her in his arms. “Why are you dressed so lightly? You can’t catch a cold during your period.”
Karissa lifted her head in his arms and saw several red marks around his Adam’s apple.
Fresh.
Still bearing the teeth marks.
He stili had the scent of a woman’s perfume on him.

So he had just gotten out of Monique Walsh’s bed before he went for the interview today.
Stanley caressed her fingers and asked with surprise, “Karissa, where’s your wedding ring?”
