The person approaching was Ferris’s friend, Ethan.
lle was also one of Silver Moon Pack’s elite, a rather gentle and modest person. Having known him for almost three years, I’d always had a good impression of
Ethan.
He kept staring at the shopping bag in my hand. Finding it too troublesome to explain, I simply nodded in acknowledgment.
“Watches from this brand aren’t cheap. Even the most basic models cost six figures. You really don’t need to give such expensive gifts. Ferris, he…”
He trailed off, but I knew what he wanted to say.
He wasn’t worth me giving such a nice gift.
Moreover, the gift I’d spent several months‘ salary on might not even be appreciated by Ferris.
These words were too hurtful for Ethan to say outright.
Of course I knew Ferris wasn’t worth it, and the gift wasn’t for him anyway. I nodded and smiled, deflecting: “Alright, I won’t next time.”
I chatted with Ethan for a while before we parted ways.
Ethan watched my retreating figure and sighed deeply.
‘Ah, such a wonderful girl. How did she get ruined by Ferris?”
He opened WhatsApp and couldn’t help but send Ferris a message of advice.
Your Luna is really good to you. I just ran into her buying you a watch–tens of thousands of dollars, bought without hesitation. That must be several months of her salary. Cherish what you have.]
Ferris received this message while dining with Ashley.
His belly full of anger instantly dissipated upon seeing the message.
His expression gradually softened.
He thought: So Aurora knows she did wrong today and wants to buy a gift to apologize. Since that’s the case, he’d give her a way out.
When the time came, he’d accept her gift, naturally apologize to her as well, make up some sweet words to coax her, and her anger would probably completely lisappear.
Ferris, what’s wrong? Whose message?” Ashley, sitting across from him, asked.
Ferris put away his phone nonchalantly: “Nothing.”
Ashley didn’t ask further.
Soon after, Ferris got up to use the restroom, and Ashley took his phone from the table.
Ashley quickly entered the password and opened WhatsApp.
She first looked at my chat, where the conversation still stopped at a week ago when I asked if he wanted to travel together when work wasn’t busy.
There were also some travel guides for places I really wanted to visit.
Ferris had replied “No time” after five hours, and I hadn’t sent any messages since.
Ashley casually looked at those travel destinations, mockery flashing in her eyes.
Chapter 18
It seems that their three year relationship was nothing special–Ferris didn’t even want to travel with that pathetic woman,
Ashley exited the chat and browsed randomly, seeing Ethan’s message.
She sneered cotilly, recalling my indifferent expression during our previous encounters, her heart full of scorn.
She thought to herself. I knew that Aurora wouldn’t really let go, but I didn’t expect her to still be buying gifts, trying to apologize to Ferris and make amends.
Ashley exited WhatsApp, turned off the screen, put Ferris’s phone back in its original position, then took out her own phone and called Victoria,
“Victoria, I just went ring shopping with Ferris and ran into Aurora. She was trying on wedding rings in the store, trying to win Ferris back…”

I returned to the villa with the gift and continued packing.
Not long after, the bedroom door was pushed open. Ferris stood at the doorway, looking down at me: “Are you finished packing?”
“Mm, almost done.”
Ferris leaned against the door frame: “Aurora, don’t you have something to say to me?”
My heart jumped. Had he finally remembered about the divorce?
