Chapter 2182
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
When Naya heard the servants announcing that Daniel was back, she quickly displayed an obedient and sweet smile. She got up and faced Daniel.
âDan, youâre back.â
Daniel nodded politely. âWhy are you here?â
âDan, what kind of question is that? Naya is going to be your fiancee soon. Why else do you think sheâs here?â Danielâs mother was smiling but she criticized him.
âDan, come here. Naya has been waiting a long time for you. This silly child hasnât eaten lunch yet because she wanted to wait for you.â
âNo, Mom. Donât say nonsense.â Nayaâs face turned red as if she was shy.
However, Daniel walked to the living room calmly. âWhy were you waiting for me?â
Naya smiled and walked toward Daniel. âDan, weâre getting engaged this Sunday and everythingâs a little rushed. Mom and Dad have prepared the things needed for the ceremony. However, thereâs one thing that my mom and the rest of them hope I can buy with you.â
Daniel furrowed his good-looking eyebrows in curiosity. âWhat is it?â
âYour wedding rings, of course!â Danielâs mother emphasized, âYou should choose a pair of temporary rings. After this, Iâll ask someone to create the worldâs best rings for you two.â
âLetâs ask Eveline Montgomery! Sheâs famous in this industry. The brand that she was a designer for back then had such exquisite collections!â Nayaâs mother suggested.
When Daniel heard this, his grip on the velvet box tightened.
Meanwhile, Nayaâs face was filled with excitement. âDan, I heard Eveline was your classmate back in the days. She wonât say no if you ask her, right?â
âSheâs not my classmate. Sheâs my junior.â
âI seeâ¦â Nya still wanted to say something when she lowered her eyes and saw Daniel holding a very delicate purple velvet box.
The box looked like it was for a ring.
Naya shifted her eyes elsewhere and did not ask about the box. However, she inched closer to Daniel and asked in a low voice, âDan, even though the engagement is fake, we still have to make it look real.
We should just go along with our mothersâ plan and go buy a pair of rings.â
Daniel did not want his mother to nag at him, so he agreed.
He placed the box in his hand in his pocket and said, âLetâs go.â
Naya quickly grabbed her bag and followed behind Daniel happily.
Daniel thought Naya would pick a random ring when they got to the jewelry shop. However, they went to a few luxury shops and she still did not choose anything.
After shopping for the entire afternoon, Naya did not see anything she liked. After that, she said she was tired and hungry, so she wanted to go to a cafe nearby to eat.
When she saw Daniel leaning against the chair calmly as he played with his phone, she had an apologetic look on her face.
âDan, Iâm so sorry. I want to choose a ring but women are very picky about the things they like. Even though the engagement is fake, I still want to choose a ring I like.â
Daniel put down the phone and lifted his eyes. He said that he understood. âItâs fine, you can continue browsing. Donât mind the price. Iâll pay for it.â
âThank you, Dan.â Naya was thrilled. Then, she looked melancholic. âIf possible, I would like Eveline Montgomery to make a ring for me. I love all of the jewelry sheâs designed.â
When Daniel heard this, he subconsciously touched his pocket. Naya saw this and calmly took a sip of her coffee. Then, an idea popped up in her head.
