Darren's eyes were filled with guilt, but Natalie remained detached, not even bothering to look at him.
Was he really going to keep this act up? His performance was truly remarkable.
Natalie's gaze turned icy, and she threw the five-carat diamond ring.
The moment she raised her hand, Darren froze.
Natalie had just thrown away the ring he had proposed to her with.
"Natalie, what are you doing? That's the ring I proposed to you with!"
Natalie's voice was still cold. "Whether that thing is real or fake, if it comes from you… I don't want it!"
Darren was stunned. He never thought Natalie would do this to him, throwing the engagement ring he gave her right in front of his face.
Darren looked in the direction she had thrown it and crouched down on the grass to search.
Where was it? Where could it be?
He wasn't worried about the money. That was the ring he had proposed to her with, the one engraved with their names.
If Natalie threw the ring away, it meant she was truly done with him. She wasn't coming back.
The thought sent a wave of panic through him. His mind was in a jumble, his only focus on finding that ring, as if finding it would mean they still had a chance.
Darren, who was always so particular about cleanliness, a man who had always held himself above others, was now on his hands and knees in the grass, searching for the ring she had discarded.
Was this supposed to be a display of deep love? He was about to marry Marie, so why was he putting on this tragic act?
"Darren, is the Cross family going bankrupt? Is a five-carat diamond really worth a germaphobe like you crawling around in the grass?"
Darren kept searching, not giving up. "I know you're angry, and you need to vent, but you shouldn't have thrown the ring. The ring represents our feelings. When you threw it away, it felt like… you were throwing me away."
