The ring left a conspicuous bloody mark on River's face, and then rolled to Ivy's feet. River touched the scar on his face and sneered.

"Evelyn, did I give you face? I gave you a ring, but you used it to hit me?" He continued, "I'm telling you, you don't need this ring. There are many people who want it. Don't be ungrateful."

Ivy exclaimed and quickly picked up the ring on the ground. " Sister Evelyn , this is a gift from River , how can you just throw it away like this?" Although she said it was a pity, the disgust in her expression was hard to hide. She even shook her hand with the huge diamond ring intentionally or unintentionally, as if she was afraid that I couldn't see it.

And my insignificant diamond ring looked even more dull in front of her pigeon egg. Faced with such an obvious provocation from her, I no longer had the idea of arguing with her as before.

"I'm sorry, I don't have the habit of collecting garbage, so I can't afford this ring."

River looked at me steadily, and suddenly smiled, with a look of understanding on his face. "Are you jealous? It's time to change your petty habit. Ivy just got a big order for the company. This is just a gift from me to her. You are a person who has nothing to do at home, how can you wear such a big diamond ring? It's good enough if you have it."

Listening to his accusations, I just found it a little funny. He seemed to have forgotten that when he just started his business eight years ago, it was me who drank until I had gastric bleeding in one drinking party after another, and helped him get orders one after another, which gradually put the company on the right track. It was also him who later hugged me and said that we were too busy at work and couldn't feel the warmth at home, so I quit the company and concentrated on being the woman behind him, taking care of everything at home for him. I didn't expect that now it has become his capital to belittle me.

" I don't need your charity." I said firmly.

River laughed when he saw my firm attitude. "Okay, since you don't want it, don't come to me for it in the future." After saying that, he snatched the diamond ring from Ivy's hand and threw it out with force, disappearing into the darkness along with my eight years of persistence and affection.

River hugged Ivy and got in the car and drove away. When I got home, the cake and candlelight dinner I prepared for our eighth anniversary were still on the table. Originally, I planned to celebrate our eighth year together with River tonight, but now it seems unnecessary. I took a bite of the cake, but the cream, which had been exposed to room temperature for a long time, became sticky and tasted sour. I frowned and spit it out, and poured everything on the table into the trash can. There is no need to force yourself to eat spoiled food, and the same goes for spoiled love.
