The atmosphere in the room was dead silent.
Her voice spread across the room, lingering for a long ti without dissipating in Adrian Walyon’s ears.
Adrian didn’t speak for a long ti after her words.
The bedroom lights were off, and Sumr Sutton couldn’t see the expression on his face.
However, she could feel that he was probably angry.
Sumr Sutton had guessed this would be the outco, so she wasn’t surprised.
She was waiting for Adrian to explode.
Unexpectedly, Adrian just looked at her, his gaze cold.
He didn’t say anything, staring at her for a long ti, his handso face tense.
"I will find a way to get it back!" Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Sumr Sutton turned her back, deciding to go to sleep first tonight.
After throwing a sentence to Adrian, she seed to truly fall asleep.
She didn’t say another word after that.
Adrian closed his eyes, resisting the urge to wake her, and shut his eyes as well.
Sumr had lost the ring, and without ntioning how expensive it was, just in terms of the ring’s significance, she had to find it.
Throughout the night, she actually didn’t sleep well.
At dawn the next day, she got up to continue searching up and down the floors.
The Walyon Family’s garden usually had servants tending to it every day.
After Sumr got up, she didn’t allow the servants to tidy the place and started searching the garden alone, turning over the soil inch by inch.
She searched ticulously, lifting each blade of grass to look beneath.
"Young Madam, what are you looking for?" a servant asked with concern upon seeing her anxious expression.
"A ring." Sumr Sutton didn’t even lift her head.
The servant paused for a mont, then knelt down to help her search.
At first, it was just one person helping her search, then a group of people, and finally even the entire Walyon Family’s servants were involved.
However, despite turning the Walyon Family upside down, the ring was still not found.
...
Today, Adrian Walyon seed to be in a low mood.
After coming downstairs, he hadn’t spoken a word.
Usually, he and Sumr Sutton showed off their affection quite a lot, and he had even clashed with Diana Wood several tis over Sumr.
However, at breakfast, the couple didn’t say a single word to each other.
This sudden lack of affection made Diana feel a bit uncomfortable.
"Oh, what’s this about?" she mocked lightly, "How many days have you been married, and the thrill is already gone?"
She interpreted Adrian’s kindness to Sumr as just a fleeting novelty.
Sumr Sutton paused her dining motions, casting a sidelong glance at Adrian.
Adrian kept a stern face, coldly retorting, "Is Madam Walyon too idle? It would be better to mind your own business!"
With a click, he put down his chopsticks, having only finished half his breakfast, and left the table to go to the office.
Despite losing the ring, Sumr Sutton was not willing to give up. She didn’t attend any classes today and decided to stay at the Walyon Family to continue searching.
Yet, no matter how she racked her brains, she couldn’t think of where the ring might have fallen.
The only place in the Walyon Family that hasn’t been searched yet was the lake.
Could it have fallen into the lake?
But she hadn’t even gone near the lake, and unless soone deliberately threw it in, it was impossible for it to have fallen in.
Where else could it be?
Sumr Sutton’s head was about to burst from thinking.
When Adrian put the wedding ring on her, he had said that once she wore it, she was never to take it off.
Now suddenly losing it, his anger was inevitable.
Sumr Sutton felt deeply troubled.
In the afternoon, when she really couldn’t think of where else the ring could be, she continued to search the soil in the garden inch by inch.
She was purely attempting to search, harboring a slight hope that maybe the ring had fallen on the ground, and soone had accidentally stepped it into the soil while passing by.
