Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 288

Just like that, the three of us worked late into the night every day.

This was the first time our family was so united and harmonious. It was also the first time all of us were working together. With the three of us helping each other out, we looked like a happy and ordinary family.

A month later, Mom gave me 31 dollars to buy my favorite jewelry.

I could have bought my favorite necklace with that money, but I used it to buy three custom-made rings o f the same style with our names engraved on the back.

I called them 'family tokens' and joked that if we ever got separated in the future, I would use these to identify my relatives.

These were the happiest moments of my life, so they meant a lot to me.

Though sadly, I was no longer able to find the ring again afterward and even Mom had no idea where it went. We searched for so long yet still could not find it.

After I lost the ring, I blamed myself for a very long time. It was a scar on my heart. I kept thinking that I did not deserve beautiful and expensive things, which was the reason why I did not wear any jewelry now.

After so many years since the incident, the regret I once had was finally resolved.

If my ring was here, would the two other rings be here too?

At the thought of this, I immediately asked Theo," Where's the gift box you just brought back?"

Theo looked a little sullen when he saw me like that and said in a deep voice, "In the garbage can outside."

I quickly stood up and rushed out the door before I could even properly put on my shoes.

In the garbage can in the garden, the gift box was torn to shreds and was simply lying there.

I searched for a very long time, and as expected, the ring with Tyler's name on it was lying in the corner of the box. As though I saw hope, I bent down and poked my entire head into the dirty and smelly garbage can without a single care. I carefully started searching.
