Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right

As they marveled at the array of ring designs, Lindsey casually opened the topic of Carole’s preferences.

Eyeing the ruby necklace Lindsey wore, Carole remarked, “I’m quite fond of the design of your diamond.

By the way, did you verify it on the official site? What was the outcome?”

Lindsey, caressing the necklace, replied with a soft smile, “I did check.

My boyfriend clarified he got me a copy from someone.

It’s not the one you’re thinking of.

He’s just an average guy, not the type to splurge on such luxuries.

”

Carole, amused by Domenic’s elaborate scheme yet maintaining her composure, probed further, “How long have you and your boyfriend been together?” Do you have any wedding plans?”

The topic of marriage dimmed Lindsey’s spirits.

Everything depended on Domenic’s readiness, though she was prepared for it anytime.

“We’re still deciding.

We’ll see what will happen.

” Lindsey responded.

With her characteristic smile, Carole suggested, “Eventually, we all tie the knot.

Why not take this moment to pick out your engagement ring? When your boyfriend arrives, he can purchase it and place it on your finger himself.

”

Lindsey’s face turned pink at Carole’s suggestion, her eyes drifting to a display nearby.

A particular ring there caught her attention.

It was designed like a miniature crown, encrusted with tiny red diamonds encircling a larger, brilliantly cut silver diamond at the center, exuding an air of noble elegance.

Carole observed Lindsey’s interest and gestured to the sales associate to bring that particular ring.

The salesperson, wearing spotless white gloves, laid the ring box on the table.

“Miss, you have a refined taste.

This is the ‘Heart of True Love’.

It features a central round diamond, encased in a halo of red diamonds.

Its total weight is about two carats, representing everlasting love.

It’s ideal for engagements or weddings.

”

“Would you mind letting her try it?” Carole asked, maintaining her politeness.

The salesperson slipped the ring onto Lindsey’s finger without delay.

The ring seemed as if it were custom-made for Lindsey, fitting her perfectly.

The contrast of the red and white diamonds highlighted her slender, long fingers, enhancing their elegance.

Mesmerized, Lindsey couldn’t help but marvel at the ring on her hand, caressing it softly.

Carole, standing behind her, gently held Lindsey’s hand and caught sight of a faint love mark on Lindsey’s neck, peeking through her flowing hair.

Carole’s expression turned thoughtful, a sense of tightness gripping her heart.

“Miss Larson?” Lindsey’s voice snapped Carole out of her thoughts.

Carole was still holding Lindsey’s hand, forcing a smile.

“This piece is gorgeous, and it looks lovely on you! Do you like it?”

Lindsey nodded almost reflexively.

Carole inquired about the price, and the salesperson revealed a current promotion price of exactly 100, 000 dollars.

Lindsey’s hand shook slightly, shocked by the price tag.

Domenic worked tirelessly, and purchasing this ring would nearly drain his savings.

Maybe it wasn’t such a good idea…

After a brief pause, Lindsey carefully removed the ring and handed it back to the salesperson.

“I’m sorry, I think I’ll keep looking.

”

Carole observed her closely, a knowing smile playing on her lips.

“It’s rare to find a ring that truly captures your heart.

If you don’t grab it now, it might be gone later, and you might regret missing out.

”
