Serenity couldn’t help but tense when she heard those names. The mention of them itself was enough to give her the feeling of falling into a nightmare!

Naturally, she also knew about the six-carat diamond ring. After all, she had seen it in the news. Even if she tried to avoid seeing anything related to them, she would always come across something when she opened her phone and browsed the internet.

Back then, when she and Zeke had browsed through a jewelry store, she had also seen that pink diamond in its raw form. At that time, he had told her, “Serenity, if you like it, I’ll buy it and make it into our wedding rings when we get married.”

But in the end, Zeke wasn’t hers, and even that diamond ring didn’t belong to her.

“Serenity, um… are you heading back now?” A clear and slightly shy male voice drifted into Serenity’s ears from nearby.

She looked up to see a man in his early thirties with short hair standing nearby. He was wearing the sanitation worker’s uniform, and his face was slightly flushed as he looked at her.

She paused momentarily before she recalled that this man was from the convoy team, and his name was Peter Wall.

“Yeah,” Serenity replied after a while.

“Let me send you back, then. I happen to have some free time,” Peter spoke as if he had mustered up all his courage to say those words.

Serenity recalled that Xyla had mentioned that Peter was interested in her, so… was he trying to pursue her right now?

But she currently had no intentions of entering a romantic relationship.

“No, it’s fine,” Serenity refused.

“It’s alright. I have a car, so it’ll be convenient for me to give you a ride,” Peter spoke hurriedly, trying his luck once more for her to agree.

“Hmph! Who cares about your car? Serenity wants a luxury car for transportation, okay? Or maybe you should also buy her a six-carat diamond ring. Maybe then she’ll agree to let you give her a ride!” Quinn Fender, who was from the equipment team, piped up sarcastically.

Peter’s face turned red, and he was at a loss for words momentarily.

Serenity glanced at Quinn and said calmly, “So if someone offers to give you a ride home one day, would you refuse because you only want to ride a luxury car or want a six-carat diamond ring? Or would you agree regardless of who offers to give you a ride?”
