Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 252

After a moment's hesitation, Janet still took the dazzling blue diamond ring off despite Ethan's objection and placed it on his palm.

Ethan let go of her and stared at the diamond ring. "What are you doing?"

Janet folded his fingers against the diamond ring and smiled at him. "The family heirloom must be of great significance to you. Judging from the expression of the shop attendant today, it looks like the ring is more precious than we think, so I can't wear it."

"I will never take back what I give others." Ethan's brows furrowed as he stared into her eyes.

However, he was relieved that Janet stopped asking him where he got the ring.

Janet bit her lip and looked at him, her eyes glinting with mischief. "I'm not returning it to you. I just want you to safely keep it for me. I'll wear it on important occasions. It's ridiculous to wear such an enormous ring every day knowing it's the real deal."

Ethan had no choice but to put the ring away. He decided it would be better for him not to give any valuable rings to Janet for the time being.

"All right then. I'll keep it in a safe place. You can wear it whenever you want," Ethan muttered, stroking the ring. "Let's go to the mall now. You pick a diamond ring you'd feel comfortable wearing every day, and I'll pay the bill."

After a moment's thought, Janet nodded. "It's already late now. Why don't we go tomorrow after I get off work?"

Then, she turned around to return to her room.

Ethan grabbed her elbow and dragged her to his side. "Are you playing dumb? What did I tell you?" he asked, raising his chin toward the bedroom.

"I don't know what you are talking about." Janet's cheeks turned red. She had clearly heard what Ethan said earlier.

Ethan was blocking her way to the bedroom. He folded his arms across his chest and looked into her eyes. "You're not mad at me, so you can move back into my room."
