Chapter 2017: A Family Together

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?

Luther glanced at Felix.

"Felix, you know I didn't prepare a wedding ring. Did you deliberately choose for me? Did you buy a diamond ring for me?"

Felix looked embarrassed, quickly clarifying, "How could that be possible? Vicki chose it. You know I never get involved in these things. If you mind, I can prepare another gift."

"It's okay, it's nice, I like it," Joyce accepted the diamond ring, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness."

She looked at Luther, "You always complained about our wedding ring being small, making you lose face. How about using the ring Vicki gifted me as our wedding ring tomorrow?" Luther, "..."

Joyce's train of thought, what was

she thinking? It was already embarrassing to have a five-carat diamond ring for the wedding, now using someone else's ring for that purpose? Luther was speechless.

"No need, five carats is five carats," he shook his head helplessly.

"Alright," Joyce nodded, "Regardless of carats, I don't usually wear rings. Wearing a ring affects the weight of the hand, whether it's the left or right hand. Holding a gun with the right hand is especially important, there can't be any deviation. The left hand supporting the right hand also needs a stable force. Even the slightest weight change can affect the accuracy of shooting. So, I never wear rings."

Luther, "..."

Felix, "..."

Vicki patted Joyce, "I don't usually wear them either. It's just that..."

Joyce noticed the ring on Vicki's ring finger, "Oh, your ring is so special. It looks like a tiger's eye."

Vicki extended her hand and gently waved it in front of Joyce.

As the light changed, the cat's eye stone displayed a sharp, precise eye line, resembling a brilliant glance.

"This is a cat's eye gemstone," Vicki explained.

"Wow, Vicki. This cat's eye gemstone, with its sharp eye line, looks just like your gaze," Joyce marveled, "Very interesting. Did Mr. Saunders pick this wedding ring for you?"

"Yes," Vicki nodded, "I didn't wear rings before. But this one seemed interesting to me. So, I wear it."

Felix looked pleased. To make a woman like Vicki, who had nothing, like something, gave him a sense of accomplishment.

Now it was Luther feeling

uncomfortable. He noticed that Felix

also wore a matching cat's eye

stone ring. He felt even more sour. Why didn't he think of it? Large diamonds are tacky, right? Whether it was Kane's gun-shaped wireless communication pendant, or Karl's pen-shaped miniature gun, they both catered to their preferences and were quite special. Even Felix and the others inadvertently filled the void left by the large carat diamond ring. Looking back at himself, too focused on arrangements, lacking creativity. He wanted to prepare an unforgettable wedding but now others had stolen the limelight.

Who would be showing off their affection during the wedding tomorrow?

At this moment, Joyce looked up and seemed to notice Luther's unpleasant expression.

She stood up, walked to Luther, and hugged his arm.

"All I need is you by my side, that's enough," she said.

With that, she tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek, "You've been working hard planning the wedding."

Luther was taken aback, her initiative affectionate action dispelling his gloom instantly.

He hugged her tightly.

It didn't matter, being together as a family was the most important.
