Because the ring was too small, she couldn’t even put it on.
Her face immediately fell, her tone displeased:
“What’s going on? Why can’t I wear it?”
I watched Zoe’s gloomy expression, not surprised at all.
She had always been so petty. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have pushed me into the icy lake just because Lucas looked at me favorably once.
Lucas finally stammered an explanation:
“This… this ring was actually bought for Sophia.”
“Didn’t I promise her earlier that we’d get married? I thought since she worked so hard today, I’d buy her a ring to cheer her up.”
“But don’t worry, you’re still the only one in my heart. Sophia and I are just going through the motions, I’m just afraid she’ll make a fuss…”
“Zoe, are… are you angry?”
He carefully observed Zoe’s expression, his tone full of appeasement.
Zoe’s expression twisted for a moment, then she forced out a smile uglier than crying.
“How could I be?”
She laughed dryly a couple of times, her eyes shifting.
Floating in the air, I coldly observed her performance.
This girl is acting again.
Zoe paused for a moment, then pretended to casually change the subject.
“But Lucas!”
“Now that I’ve recovered, let’s continue with our wedding plans.

Lucas was obviously stunned.
I saw his hands on his knees unconsciously tighten and loosen, then tighten again.
“But…”
“But I’ve already promised Sophia…”
Zoe scoffed disdainfully.
“Oh come on, she loves you so much, she’ll definitely agree, won’t she?”
She looked confident, as if she had already
I sneered inwardly.
Where did she get such confidence?
seen me nodding in agreement.
I never intended to marry Lucas in the first place.
Lucas, however, became even more conflicted.
He lowered his head, constantly fidgeting with his fingers, his eyes wandering.
Watching him like this, I felt no ripples in my heart.
I had never had any expectations for this marriage from beginning to end.
Even without Zoe’s interference, I would never have married Lucas.
Because my heart already had an irreplaceable husband, and marriage would only tarnish his existence in my heart.
Seeing Lucas still hesitating, a flash of viciousness crossed Zoe’s eyes.
“Lucas.”
“You’ve never considered Sophia’s matters for so long before.”
She paused, staring intently at Lucas.
“You haven’t actually fallen for her, have you?”
Hearing this, Lucas instinctively retorted.
“How could that be possible!”
His tone was a bit hurried, even carrying a hint of panic.
“With so many wealthy young ladies to choose from, why would I pick a poor girl like her?”
Hearing this, Zoe’s expression finally improved.
The next moment, she casually threw the ring into the trash can.
“That’s good”
“Since this thing can’t be used anyway, you can buy me a new, more expensive one later, isn’t that better?”
The ring fell into the trash can with a crisp sound.
Watching this scene, I felt no waves in my heart.
From beginning to end, I had never fantasized that a rich young master like Lucas would fall in love with me.
Lucas stared fixedly at the ring in the trash can stu…
