Chapter 85 Engaged

Although she knew there was no need to do so, Grace still looked toward the sound of the voices.

It was Benjamin and Yvonne, her old friends.

She started to ponder what a small place Pamore was.

Yvonne pulled on Benjamin’s hand, leading him into the shop. At the sight of them looking like a couple, Grace’s heart sank.

An indescribable sense of bitterness swept over her, and it was as if time stood still.

She had just heard the news of their engagement, and now she had run into them shopping for their wedding rings…

In their three years of marriage, the only thing that Benjamin had ever given her was that wedding ring.

He hadn’t even bothered to get her measurements, so she had been reduced to measuring it secretly while he had slept.

Now, he had come personally with Yvonne to choose wedding rings at the jewelry store.

Grace only felt a sense of betrayal. She had been betrayed by her own foolish self in the past.

She felt some pressure on her shoulder, and Caleb appeared behind her. He clumsily held up a blue diamond ring with his bandaged hand and asked her lightly, “What do you think of my taste?”

Grace immediately pushed aside her negative emotions and took the ring. She smiled lightly.” It’s not bad. You picked the ring that your sister designed.”

“Of course. You and I are soulmates: Now I’m going to give it to you as a present. What do you think?”

Caleb came round in front of Grace, and his impossibly handsome face came closer to hers, blocking Benjamin and Yvonne with his tall, strong b*dy. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“I don’t want it. I don’t know what rumors will spread online about that.” Grace shook her head in refusal.

Caleb laughed cheekily and really went down on one knee, holding up the blue diamond ring. ” My princess, will you put this on for me?”

“Aaahhhhh!”

The shop assistants grabbed each other’s hands, screaming in excitement.

Was Simon going to propose?

Moreover, he was using the ring that Grace had designed herself!

Even if they didn’t receive their wages today, it would be worth it. This was huge news!

Grace had no power to resist Caleb’s cheeky, fond gaze and could only pretend to be angry as she hit his shoulder lightly. “Stop playing around and get

The shop assistants were even more shocked.

Was Ms. Lewis rejecting superstar Simon’s proposal?

She was amazing!

She was playing hard to get!

The floor–to–ceiling windows in the shop were all transparent. When the reporters who had been following Caleb saw this scene, they began taking photos furiously.

Immediately after, they all surged inside the shop to interview them.

“Simon, are you and Ms. Lewis getting married soon?”

Caleb shrugged. “Everyone saw it. Ms. Lewis rejected me, so I’ve got to put in more effort.‘ The reporters laughed at that and asked again, “Have you decided that Ms. Lewis is the o went through life and death together in that car accident?”

Caleb laughed. “I’d better not say too much. I’ll leave that to your imagination.”

The atmosphere was lighthearted, without any tension between celebrity and reporter.

He handled the media skillfully, giving them something to write about while not saying anything too concrete. He was an expert in the art of public relations.

“Well, Simon, if there’s good news, then remember to let us know!”

“Yes, we want first–hand news.”

“No problem. Could you allow me and my princess to continue choosing rings?”

Caleb smiled charmingly, hinting that it was time for them to go.

The reporters took the hint and left.

Yvonne looked at Grace, who was the object of everyone’s envy, and she dug her nails viciously into her palms.

She smiled slyly. “Benjamin, look at Ms. Lewis. On one side, she’s seducing the future chairman of Amirate Corporation, and now superstar Simon has p

At her words, Benjamin’s face darkened, and unbridled rage flashed in his eyes.

He and Yvonne were getting engaged because Richard was forcing them to. Was Grace also getting married?

She was considering so many men!

She had really changed and become a fickle woman!

On impulse, he walked over.

“You already have Aaron, so why are you in an ambiguous relationship with Simon?”

“What is wrong with you? Why do you keep hanging around us like a fly, and how is this any of your business?” Caleb pushed Benjamin’s shoulder impatiently.

The two men faced each other, and the tension was palpable.

Caleb completely disregarded his arm injury. Even if he could only use one arm, he would beat Benjamin up if it came to that.

He hadn’t forgotten how he hadn’t managed to beat him up when Benjamin and Grace had gotten married. Caleb would be content with beating him up now that they were divorced!

Grace put down the ring slowly, her gaze indifferent. She said contemptuously, “Who are you to ask, Mr. Hawkins?”
