Chapter 557 A Diamond Ring

"Let's go inside. I've made a reservation." Stuart smiled and took Heather inside the bar. Seeing how gentlemanly Stuart acted suddenly made Heather nervous.

She did not know why, but she figured it was because of Stuart's looks or his charm.

After all, it was the first time Heather met a man like Stuart, who was both good-looking and chivalrous. She could not help but take a few more glimpses of him while walking beside him, instinctively comparing him with Alex.

Once Heather made the comparison, Alex felt even more useless.

Especially when she remembered how Alex had a huge family business in Lumenopolis, but he refused to back and split the inheritance. Not only that, he generously handed everything to his older brother. At that moment, Heather's head was filled with complaints about Alex.

After the two got inside, Stuart ordered two bottles of Remy Martins and poured some for Heather. "Here, Heather. Cheers to getting to know each other."

"Mr. Nixon, I can't really hold my drink," she said in a soft voice, feeling a little nervous.

"It's alright." Stuart smiled. "Just drink some. You can stop whenever. I won't make you drink more."

"Thank you, Mr. Nixon." Heather was a little touched.

Her impression of the gentleman in front of her was skyrocketing.

Even though Heather had low alcohol tolerance, she took the drink and shared the toast with Stuart.

After that one drink, Stuart suddenly took out a small delicate box and said with a smile, "Heather, I'm happy I got to see you today. I told you I would give you a car at the car show back then, but you know how things ended. So, today, I've prepared another gift for you. I hope you'd accept it.”

When he finished, he opened the box.

Whoa!

At that moment, almost all the women around them gawked at them.

It looked like they could barely hold in their screams while their faces were riddled with envy.

There was a diamond ring in the box.

The diamond was almost the size of a pigeon egg, sparkling brilliantly.

Any woman would go crazy in front of a diamond ring of that caliber.

"I..." Heather was dumbfounded and felt warm inside.

Truth be told, she had never even gotten a piece of silver accessory from Alex throughout the five years their marriage, let alone a diamond ring. Meanwhile, Stuart gave her such an expensive gift at their second meeting. It was no wonder Heather would feel touched.

"I don't think I can take it, Mr. Nixon. That's too valuable of a gift. I'm sorry." Heather eventually came to and shook her head. She figured she would have most probably accepted any other gift, anything but a diamond ring. That was just too much. Even though Heather's disappointment for Alex was growing, she would never cheat on him as long as they were still married. "Why? No matter how valuable the ring is, it won't be able to shine if it's not on the finger of a woman I like," Stuart said affectionately. Heather's heart skipped a beat when she heard that, and her heart rate was increasing at a rapid pace.

Even a seasoned veteran like herself could not handle Stuart's open confession.

"Come on, Heather, only you can wear a ring like this and let it shine," Stuart said before pulling Heather's hand over, picking up the ring, and fitting it on her finger.
