Sighing wistfully, she said in a regretful tone, “It’s still such a beautiful ring. Unfortunately, it’s bad Luck.”
Her words hurt me like a knife to my heart.
Of course, they didn’t know that the former Luna who had died at such a young age was none other than my mother, whom I missed day and night.
I didn’t say anything more. I just lowered my head, fighting back my tears.
Remembering my mother was so painful.
If she was still alive, what would my life be like? I’d probably be living a happy, carefree life. My mother loved me dearly. She wouldn’t let me live such a hard life.
Thinking of these things, I fell into a melancholic silence.
When my mother was still alive, no matter what happened, she would always be there to comfort and protect me. At that time, my father was also very kind to us. He wasn’t as cold and ruthless as he was today.
He had even trained me to be the next heir of the Silver Ridge Pack. If my mother hadn’t gotten into an accident…
While I was Lost in thought, the owner already put the ring away.
Sensing that I was in low spirits, Riley asked worriedly, “Debra, are you okay?”
Her concerned voice pulled me back to reality. Forcing a smile, I lied,
“I’m fine. Don’t worry about me, Riley.”
But Riley wasn’t convinced. She frowned and thought for a while. Then she looked at me and asked hesitantly, “Debra, you seem to care about the former Luna of the Silver Ridge Pack very much. Did you know her?”
Hearing this question, I couldn’t help but feel sad.
How could I not know her? She was my mother!
But in order not to expose my identity, I had to try my best to tuck my sadness away for the time being.
I met Riley’s dubious gaze and shook my head.
“I’ve heard of her, but I don’t know her personally. I was just fascinated by her tragic story, and I feel sorry for her.”
“Oh, I see.” Riley sighed in relief, believing every word I said
After a while, she suggested kindly, “Debra, you don’t look well. Let’s go out and get some fresh air.”
As she spoke, she looked in the direction of Janiya and Caleb, who were still chatting with the owner. “They have decided to get a customized ring. I think she won’t make things difficult for you anymore.”
It seemed that Riley could tell that I was at odds with Janiya.
“That’s good,” I said absentmindedly.
Seeing Janiya and Caleb so intimate made me feel so upset, and thinking about how my mother’s ring was sold added to the weight on my shoulders. I didn’t want to stay in the store for even another second.
