Felix finally couldn't bear it anymore, he pulled Vicki close to him.
"On the way, you must be a bit tired, why don't we go back to the room first. Rest for a while," he said, trying to break the awkward situation, or else this topic couldn't continue.
Vicki didn't understand Felix's intentions.
"It's just a short walk, am I that tired? Plus, we just rested at home. Are you the one feeling exhausted? Are you tired?" Vicki suspiciously glanced at Felix.
Felix quickly covered Vicki's mouth and whispered, "Don't speak randomly, I'm not, please don't say anything."
As adults, Felix felt like Joyce or Luther could definitely sense Vicki's hidden meaning. He couldn't let Vicki continue talking aimlessly.
Wide-eyed, Vicki stared at Felix, puzzled. What did she say?
"Cough cough," Joyce lightly cleared her throat, "If you're not tired and don't need to rest, can you sit here for a while? Karl will be coming soon, he just went to change clothes. He'll be back soon."
"No problem. I really want to meet him," Vicki moved away from Felix's hand and went to sit on the sofa next to Joyce.
Joyce supported Vicki's waist, "Be careful. How do you feel now that you're a mom?"
Vicki nodded, "Well, the little one is very mischievous and active, kicking me often in the belly."
Seeing the conversation return to normal, Felix breathed a sigh of relief.
Rubbing his forehead, he felt relieved.
Luther gave Felix a teasing look and asked, "How's the old Saunders doing recently?"
"He's doing well. He's not taking care of things anymore, either leaving it to Vicki or me. He's enjoying his old age, cultivating flowers and plants at home. The Saunders Residence is still under construction, it seems like it won't be done this year. We'll move back next year, plenty of space for him to grow flowers and plants," Felix nodded.
"Enjoying a peaceful retirement in old age is a good thing."
Luther's eyes dimmed a bit, suddenly remembering his grandmother who passed away a few years ago. If she could see this lively scene today, with grandchildren and family, it would have been great.
Felix understood Luther and patted him on the shoulder.
Luther didn't say anything else.
At this moment, Vicki took out a box from her bag, "You two are getting married, and I didn't know what to prepare. You know I'm not good at these things. I picked a ring at random, wear it as you wish."
Joyce took the box from Vicki's hand, "Thank you."
"Open it," Vicki said.
"Okay." In front of everyone, Joyce opened the box, revealing a large diamond ring inside. She was stunned, "How many carats is this?"
"About thirty, I can't remember exactly. There are even larger ones, but I think large diamonds are unattractive, even uglier in larger sizes. Diamonds are said to have the highest hardness, suitable for hitting people with," Vicki said casually.
Joyce was speechless, speechless to have received a thirty-carat diamond ring...
Luther's face had turned dark by now. Joyce didn't let him prepare a wedding ring, insisting on using the original set which included a five-carat ring. As a wealthy person getting married, such a small ring wouldn't be presentable. But Joyce insisted, so he had no choice.
Now, Felix and Vicki unexpectedly gifted a thirty-carat diamond ring.
Did they prepare wedding rings for him?
