"This is... ’Josephine’s Love’!"
Sitting on the other side, Mrs. Wallace and Bruce Wallace both squinted their eyes in unison, and Bruce couldn’t control himself and blurted out the na of this precious diamond.
Josephine was the esteed na of a certain queen in European history. Queen Josephine was the king’s one true love. To express his affection for his wife, His Majesty had the treasury’s treasure—a large and precious diamond cut into a 39.99-carat diamond ring, which he presented to Queen Josephine.
This diamond was nad ’Josephine’s Love,’ in addition to symbolizing that it was the queen’s ring, it also represented the deep affection the king had invested in it.
Later, after centuries of change, this priceless and emotionally charged diamond ring appeared at an auction in Geneva.
A mysterious buyer spent thirty-five million dollars to acquire this gemstone.
And now, the legendary ’Josephine’s Love’ has actually appeared in Eastonia, at the Wallace’s!
Regardless of whether it was Mrs. Wallace or Bruce Wallace, neither could hide the astonishnt and excitent in their eyes.
At this mont, they even forgot that Leslie Howard was not truly a part of the Wallace family, thinking only that if Leslie accepted this diamond ring, they could use it as a topic of conversation.
In Eastonia’s upper-class circle, it would be a rare glory.
Ken Redington’s deep blue eyes darkened slightly: "That’s right, this is ’Josephine’s Love.’ Mommy Redington asked to bring it as a gift for our future daughter-in-law, Leslie... I’m giving it to you."
The Duke’s face sank at this mont, revealing a cold and authoritative expression.
Obviously, the Duchess’s orders needed to be followed, as it was a solemn and dignified matter.
However...
"That’s not necessary, take it back, and tell mother we appreciate the gesture." David Redington’s long fingers covered the dazzling diamond ring.
But as the lid of the small velvet box closed, the brilliant radiance was instantly extinguished.
His wife should naturally receive the diamond ring from him personally.
Wearing a diamond ring given by soone else—what sense does that make? If Leslie is to wear one, it can only be a diamond ring he personally selects.
"Cesare, you’re deliberately going against !"
Duke Redington was furious, unable to complete the task entrusted by his loving wife, how could he return to Europe?
Moreover, as a dignified duke, to be shad by his son in public.
One slight wasn’t enough, here cos the second. What on earth does Cesare an by this disregard for elders!
David didn’t even lift his eyelids, his cold blue eyes just rested on Leslie’s radiant face.
In a low voice, he asked, "Honey, you would prefer the diamond ring I give you, hmm?"
Clearly, it was a question, yet spoken in a voice so charming and captivating that it sent shivers down her spine.
Leslie Howard, held by the chin by David, although reluctant to offend her future in-laws, couldn’t help but feel the warning squeeze his hand gave on her waist.
To avoid being unable to leave the bed upon returning, Leslie Howard softly humd: "Yes, want yours."
A double entendre made soone very satisfied, and the eyes that were once cold and deep now swirled with love.
His Leslie, always deserving of such cherishing.
Leslie Howard felt helpless, she really just thought it was too extravagant.
"Oh dear, Leslie... This is a gift from the Duchess of Redington, how can you be so rude not to accept it? You child, truly lacking manners, wasting the Duchess’s careful thought."
At this ti, Mrs. Wallace, who had long been itching with envy, took advantage of her position as an elder to jump out.
