Chapter 2797: Chapter 270: Why Did He Suddenly Put a Diamond Ring on Her Again?

"Hiss... what are you doing!" Molly Wellington cried out in pain, and by the time she reacted, the necklace had already fallen into Abraham Redington’s hand.

This necklace was far too expensive; she’d been planning to find a time to return it to Uncle Chamberlain.

"What, you’re that nervous over this token of affection between you and Eddy Chamberlain?" Abraham sneered, the dark blue of his eyes like ice. "You care so much about what he gives you, yet you turn your nose up at what I give. Heh... I suddenly really want to know—if your fiancé sees this necklace in my hand, how will he look at you?"

As he spoke, Abraham slipped that sapphire necklace into the breast pocket of his suit.

Molly Wellington clenched her teeth. "You can’t do that..."

"Whether I can or not depends on my mood." Abraham reached into the pocket on the other side and pulled out a small diamond ring.

"If you don’t want me to deliver this necklace right to Eddy Chamberlain, then be good and put this on."

The reason it was called "small" was only in comparison to that even more precious, dazzling sapphire.

In reality, this diamond ring was already luxurious and valuable enough.

Abraham grabbed Molly Wellington’s left hand; this time the ring didn’t go onto her left index finger, but slid straight onto her ring finger.

It was that ring...

The very same ring Abraham had given her back in H city, the one she had later left in his palm.

The diamond ring Abraham had once called their token of affection.

"You..." Molly Wellington stared at the diamond ring that had suddenly appeared on the ring finger of her left hand, a tangle of emotions rising in her chest, complicated and impossible to name.

She had no idea why Abraham was doing this. He clearly hated her so much, and he’d just deliberately humiliated her.

So why, in the blink of an eye, was he putting a ring on her again?

"As for this necklace, it depends on how you behave... If you behave well, I’ll give it back to you."

Like hell.

Abraham silently added the two words in his heart, then bent down and brushed a light kiss against Molly Wellington’s face, still streaked with tear tracks, before carrying her over to the basin to roughly clean her up.

A moment later, when Molly Wellington appeared in the Western Restaurant again, the tear stains on her face and the faint wrinkles in her dress were no longer noticeable.

Eddy Chamberlain didn’t notice anything off about Molly Wellington at all; it was Allen who frowned slightly. "The necklace on your neck, where is it?"

A flicker of guilt flashed quickly through Molly Wellington’s eyes, but she forced herself to stay calm and gave the excuse she’d prepared long ago: "That necklace is too expensive. Wearing it on my neck makes me nervous... I put it in my purse."

As she spoke, she even picked up the purse in her hand and gave it a shake.

Seeing this, Allen nodded, but the next moment his gaze was drawn to the unusually bright diamond ring on Molly Wellington’s ring finger.

Did Molly Lewis already have that ring on when she left the house this morning?

Allen’s dark brows knotted slightly; for a moment, he couldn’t quite remember.

...

Later that night, at Wellington’s mansion.

As soon as Molly Wellington got home, she was called over by Dylan Wellington and Skye Brown.

"Well, Molly, how do you feel about Eddy Chamberlain? Do you like him or not?" Skye Brown asked anxiously when she saw her daughter return.

Although Molly Wellington had agreed to the marriage alliance because of what Dylan Wellington said, she wasn’t going into it with the mindset of just marrying some random man.

She wanted to get to know him first, see whether she could accept him, and also see whether he had any feelings for her.

Two people falling in love was hard enough; staying together was even harder.

Understanding the responsibility she should bear as the eldest daughter of the Wellington family, Molly Wellington didn’t insist on marrying a man she loved, but at the very least, she hoped they could respect each other.

So she had no idea why Abraham Redington was so determined to insist that Eddy Chamberlain was her fiancé, when in reality... now was only their first meeting as a blind date couple.
