FreeNovelChapter 297 Kate playfully tapped Allen Ramsey on the head. "What nonsense are you spouting? The lining can hold on for a while, and the Hilton family has every resource under the sun. Just keep nourishing it regularly, and it'll be fine. Don't listen to him, Claire. What does a surgeon know about this anyway?" I chuckled softly.
No wonder Max was so insistent that I stay away from alcohol and cold foods. And lately, Helen had been makingoatmeal and breakfast smoothies with all sorts of nutritious ingredients.
"It's alright, don't mention this to Max. He proposed tolast night." I flashed the ring on my finger.
Kate was even more excited than I was. "Does this mean we should go pick out a ring as a return gift?" I nodded. "That's a great idea. Let's go together." I had been planning to buy him a matching ring today anyway.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAllen Ramsey didn't say a word as we left; instead, he slammed his keyboard out of frustration. I had no idea why he was upset, but he really shouldn't have been.
"We've only got half an hour to pick a ring," I informed them. "Max wants to taketo city hall to get our marriage license afterward." I tried to suppress the news Allen Ramsey had given me. I wanted to get through this day, to do the things I had always dreamed of doing.
Max wasn't the perfect, confident guy everyone thought he was. His little gestures were his way of showinghe was insecure, that he needed reassurance about our relationship.
Even though he tried to hide the fact that I might have trouble having kids.
No wonder we hadn't been using protection lately, and I still wasn't pregnant.
He must have known all along.
"Kate, I..." My voice cracked.
She huggedtightly. "It's going to be okay. Many people work through these things slowly. Everything will turn out fine, Claire. You're so kind-hearted. Even when I hurt you in the past, you were always there to saveagain and again. just want to repay you in this lifetime." I felt lost as we walked into a designer jewelry store. Kate said "Every ring here is unique, and you can have his nengraved on it. Do you know Max's ring size?" "I do. My middle finger is the ssize as his ring finger. His pinky is about the size of my ring finger-we measured this morning." Kate laughed. "You've been planning this all along. A match made in heaven! If his pinky fits your ring finger, then nothing can cbetween you two." Feeling a little embarrassed, I brushed my hair back and picked out a ring that matched mine.
We were happily on our way back to
the Evergreen Health Center when a ched to a h black van screeched to a halt in front of us. Without a word, they grabbed us and hauled us inside. en "Let go!" Kate struggled and was silenced with a slap and a gag.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOn any other day, Max's security team would be nearby, but not today.
They blindfoldedand taped my mouth shut. I had no idea where they were taking us.
It felt eerily familiar, like a déjà vu of the tKate and I were kidnapped before.
For a split second, I wondered if this was another of Kate's schemes!! Gould she really be staging this?
After everything we had been through, all the times had saved her, what more could she possibly want? Or maybe, just maybe, she had been after something else all along...
