Chapter 71 She Lacks Experience
“Old Mrs. Faulkner said she didn’t give you anything when you got married, so she forged one of the gifts that Old Mr. Faulkner gave her in the past into these two rings,” explained Frankie. “I’ve heard that Old Mrs. Faulkner treasures the gifts from Old Mr. Faulkner a lot and never shows them to outsiders,” whispered Patrick, who happened to be next to Genevieve.
He added, “It’s surprising that Old Mrs. Faulkner would use a gift from Old Mr. Faulkner to forge a pair of rings for Armand. No other member of the Faulkner family receives such treatment.” “Really?”
Genevieve muttered and peered at the velvet box in Armand’s hand. A pair of stunning silver rings were housed inside the velvet box. The man’s version of the ring was simple and elegant, whereas the woman’s version had five equal-sized grooves with a line of five premium pearls set into each of them.
There were tiny claws on the edge of the grooves to hold the pearls in place, and the sides of the grooves were carved with a fine, wavy design. Although Genevieve had amassed a sizable jewelry collection in the past, which included pearls and rings with gemstones, she now felt that those rings in her collection could not compare to the one in front of her at the moment.
What great taste Old Mrs. Faulkner has! Just as she was admiring the ring, Armand lifted his head abruptly and looked at her, saying in a low voice, “Genev, come here.” She had never before heard him addressing her in that way. It sounds too intimate. Glancing at Frankie, she quickly realized what Armand was going to do.
Hence, she walked over and consciously stretched out her right hand. The next instant, Armand removed the woman’s version of the rings from the velvet box and placed it on Genevieve’s finger. The ring fitted perfectly on her ring finger. Wriggling her fingers a little, Genevieve fell into deep thought.
