Riley smiled, looking Like an angel.
But the more she treated me this way, the more guilty I felt.
After thinking for a while, I decided to come clean with her about something. “I haven’t had the chance to tell you before that Caleb and
I are mates arranged by Mood Goddess. That’s why Janiya hates me and often stirs up trouble.”

“I see.”
I thought that Riley would be shocked upon hearing my explanation, but contrary to my expectations, she just burst into giggles
“I knew it!” she said with amusement.
“What?” Now I was the one who was shocked.
I thought I had hid it so well. How did Riley find out?
Riley seemed to have figured out what I was thinking, because she smiled and asked, “Do you remember that night we ran as wolves?” When we were on the way back, I saw Caleb standing nearby. I figured he was waiting for you.”
The truth suddenly dawned on me.
It turned out that Riley already knew about our love triangle drama, and that she was just pretending to be ignorant so as to not embarrass me.
Now that the cat was out of the bag, I could only admit to it helplessly.
“You were right. Caleb was indeed waiting for me. He said that he was worried about me.”
Riley nodded knowingly.
Then she looked down at the brocade box in my hand and told me,
“Actually, I didn’t pay for the ring. Caleb did.”
“What?” Once again, I was shocked.
“Back at the jewelry store, the shop assistant whispered to me that the ring had been paid for by Caleb. But I didn’t say anything at first because he didn’t want you to know.”
Now I understood why I hadn’t seen him for a while just now. It turned out that he went to buy the ring for me secretly.
I carefully opened the box and looked at the delicate ring nestled inside, feeling mixed emotions. This ring once belonged to my mother, and now, it was mine-thanks to Caleb.
But why did he help me?
Didn’t he say that we would never be together?
The more I thought about it, the more confused I felt.
“Debra, I can tell that he likes you.” Riley suddenly became serious.
