Silly Bride

She said to Josiah, “Ignore him. I loved to collect rings in the past, and I received countless from others. There were gold, silver, diamond, agate, pearl, and the like. I had several boxes, and each ring was unique.”

Upon hearing that, Xavier immediately frowned. In a bossy tone, he announced, “No, that won’t do. I’m taking over your rings. Henceforth, you can only wear rings from me.”

Winnie was tickled pink. “Not even for collecting?”

“Nope. If you want to collect rings, I can help to scout for you. However, you can’t ever accept any from others.”

“Not even if it’s from a female friend or elder?”

Xavier’s brows furrowed. “In such a case, I can relax the scope appropriately. Oh, never mind. I think it’s best for me to send out a notice to forbid others from giving you rings.”

“Cut it out! All right, it’s time to eat.”

As Winnie said that, she stood up and headed toward the kitchen.

Behind her, Xavier silently pointed a finger at Josiah.

Shrugging, Josiah whined softly, “I’m beyond innocent. Before buying the jewelry, I snapped a picture and sent it to you. Didn’t you already see the ring back then? You didn’t say anything at that time.”

“I didn’t see it. Your photography skills were so bad that light reflected off the entire jewelry box. Didn’t you notice that?” Xavier hissed through gritted teeth.

“Was it my fault that the lightning in the shop was too bright? Who told you to act so slowly? Take out the ring you prepared, then.”

“Stop yakking here when you know nothing.”
