Chapter 98 Not Important
With a feigned look of guilt, Sidonic said, “I’m sorry, I was just trying to help hang up your blazer and ended up dropping your rings on the floor. These two rings must be quite important to you, right?”
Sidonie appeared to be apologizing, but in reality, she aimed to understand why Trent was so concerned about the rings.
Trent pursed his lips and was quiet for a long while. Are they important? Once, I had thought that these rings held no importance at all. They were merely cheap trinkets I had bought just for the sake of getting married.
During his three years of marriage, Trent hadn’t paid any attention to the wedding rings at all. In fact, if he hadn’t accidentally stumbled upon the two rings in a drawer, he wouldn’t have even remembered their existence.
However, in the days that followed their divorce, Trent kept those two rings with him, occasionally caressing them.
Even he himself didn’t know why he acted that way.
“They’re nothing important,” Trent said, somewhat uncomfortably.
“If they’re not important, then why were you so worked up just now? You even scared Sidonie,” Yorick blurted out. However, when his gaze fell on the rings in Trent’s hand, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes. “These rings seem familiar… Ah, that’s right. Aren’t these the wedding rings you bought when you married Quinn?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere on the scene shifted once again.
Upon seeing the change in Sidonie’s face, Trent couldn’t help but clutch the two rings tightly in his hand.
Upon seeing that Trent remained silent, Yorick was immediately taken aback and blurted out, “No way. Are those really your wedding rings? You’re already divorced, so why on earth are you still carrying these unlucky things around?”
Unlucky? Trent frowned. “Yorick, even if you are my friend, you can’t talk like that!”
“What’s wrong with what I said?” Yorick stated nonchalantly. “You should have gotten rid of these unlucky things a long time ago. Now, you should really be thinking about what kind of wedding rings to buy for you and Sidonie.”
“I’m just friends with Sidonie,” Trent said.
“Enough with that. It’s one thing to say it in front of others, but it’s just us three here. To still say such things, you’re really disrespecting Sidonie,” Yorick retorted.
Trent’s expression shifted subtly as he turned to look at Sidonie.
Sidonie managed a forced smile. “These are the wedding rings of Trent and Quinn. After all, they were married for three years before they suddenly divorced. It’s not wrong for Trent to keep the rings on him. Besides, Trent and I are just friends now.”
“What are you talking about? If you hadn’t left for abroad back then, Quinn wouldn’t have had the chance to swoop in. How could Trent have married Quinn? For the past three years, you’ve been the only one he
In particular, those words that Quinn spoke to him at the airport weighed on his mind. Could my life savior really be Quinn?
