His Precious Love

Chapter 288 A Wish That Cannot Come True

Plastering a sheepish smile, Wyatt answered, “You must’ve misheard me, Curtis. I’ve never said that.”

The man’s reply rendered Curtis speechless.

The host then gave the pair of rings to the winners—Jasmine and Theodore. However, Jasmine clearly had no interest in the jewelry, so she handed it over to Rayna. “I already have one, so you can take mine.”

Waving her hands, Rayna replied, “No, no. I’m fine. You can give it to them instead.” She was already wearing a ring on her finger, anyway. Even though it was for self-defense, the ring was still from Curtis, which was enough for her.

While having Jessica in his arms, Wyatt smiled playfully. “No need. I’ve already customized a ring for Jessie. Besides, I don’t like this brand, so I think it’s best if you have it.”

“You’re truly unbelievable,” stated Rayna, amused.

Meanwhile, Curtis and Theodore exchanged looks. Both pairs of eyes were dimmed.

“You bought a ring?” Curtis questioned.

“Yeah, it’s custom-made at Van Cleef & Arpels!” responded Wyatt proudly. He even pulled Jessica’s hand, trying to show the ring to them. However, all he found was emptiness on the woman’s finger.

“Where’s the ring, Babe? Why aren’t you wearing it?”

Jessica’s eyes flickered before she pursed her lips and replied, “The diamond’s too big. What if someone set their sights on it if I brought it with me? Hence, I left it in my house, stored inside a bag.”

“You’re really considerate, Jessie.” Wyatt gave his woman a huge kiss. “Rings are supposed to be worn. I’ll buy a new one if you lose it. I, your fiancé, don’t lack money,” he added casually.

“Stop kissing me. There are many people here.” Jessica slapped the shameless Wyatt away.

After hearing what Wyatt said, Curtis cracked a smile, even though he maintained his stone-cold eyes. “You’re engaged, Wyatt? It’s rare to see you be this serious.”

“Of course!” Wyatt exclaimed, cocking his eyebrows at Curtis. “Maybe I’ll even register for marriage soon.”

Merely responding with a hum, Curtis turned to look at Theodore, who nodded. His expression became colder, yet he said nothing.

“Since Wyatt has already customized a ring at Van Cleef & Arpels, then forget it,” stated Jasmine with a smile, handing the ring box to Rayna. “Seems like you still have to take it.”

Before Rayna could even say anything, Curtis reached out and took the box, opening it.
