Chapter 49
At Cameron’s estate, the atmosphere was serene–filled with birdsong and the fragrance of flowers.
After lunch, they decided to leave that afternoon.
Before their departure. Cameron led Eliana to the storage room to select a parting gift.
The storage room was immaculately organized, with everything neatly categorized. Within the wooden compartments were an array of expensive ornaments, each worth a small fortune.
While Cameron carefully chose the gili, Eliana’s attention was drawn to a silver tin box on one of the shelves. Its plain exterior bore no label, sparking her curiosity.
She opened the box and found an assortment of long–unused children’s toys and a translucent beeswax ring nestled among them. The ring’s soft honey–colored glow caught her eye.
Intrigued, Eliana slipped the ring onto her finger. The contrast between her fair skin and the warm amber hue of the beeswax created an elegant harmony, especially in the sunlight, where it shimmered beautifully.
At this moment, Cameron had already chosen the gift. Walking over with the box in hand, he froze when his eyes fell on the ring on Eliana’s finger. “Where did you find this ring?” he asked.
Hearing his question, Eliana turned to him and replied, “In this box. Why? Is it very valuable? Oh, I’m sorry! I just thought it looked nice and tried it on. I’ll take it off now!
Cameron approached her, his expression slightly awkward. “No it’s nothing. I made it by hand when I was a kid. It’s not worth much.”
Eliana looked at him with surprise and said, “Really? You made this? It looks pretty nice!”
Cameron responded, “If you like it, you can have it
Eliana smiled and said. “Really? Okay, thanks!” She didn’t hesitate and kept the ring on.
Cameron’s gaze lingered on her finger. In a low voice, he asked, “Are you sure you want to keep wearing it?
“Can’t I?” Eliana asked softly.
There were only the two of them in the storage room.
Cameron’s gaze settled on Eliana’s face. Meeting her confused eyes, he smiled and said deliberately. “This is the ring I made for my future bride when I was young
Eliana’s face instantly flushed a deep red, like a ripe peach
Hurriedly, she reached out to remove the ring, but for some reason, perhaps because of her panie, it became increasingly difficult to take off.
The ring got stuck at the joint.
Cameron chuckled softly and said, “If you wear my ring, you’ll have to marry me.”
Elana was flustered.
“No, I didn’t know… I’ll give it back to you then!” she said hurriedly.
Finally managing to take off the ring, Eliana quickly held it out to Cameron.

However, Cameron did not extend his hand to take it. She stood there, feeling at a loss with the ring in her palm.
Cameron rated an eyebrow and smirked mischievously. “You already wore it. Now the ring is stretched out.”
Elana’s cheeks flushed a deeper red, and she became a little annoyed. “What are you talking about? That’s not true!”
The beeswax had long since solidified–it was impossible for her lingers to stretch it.
This man was lying with no shame.

Cameron took the gift box and walked out of the storage room, leaving behind a single remark. I don’t care. The ring I wanted to give to my future bride has been stretched by you. Its your responsibility–either marry me or replace it with an
identical one
Flana was stunned. Was there really someone so shameless in the world? This had to be a con. No, it was a con.
After leaving the Wright family estate, Elsana held the return gif, her expression showing a trace of dissatisfaction.
Thomas noticed and asked. “Eliana, what’s wrong?”
Eliana muttered. “Nothing”
Cameron glanced at Thomas, his tone cold. “Start the car. Stop wasting time.”
Landon walked over, placed his hand on Thomas’s shoulder, and lowered his voice. “Let’s go quickly. Cameron and Eliana seems to have something going on!”
Thomas whispered back as they walked forward, “What’s going on?”
Landon shrugged. “If you ask me, who should i ask?”
The three of them moved to the front to drive.
Eliana stood by Cameron’s car, her gaze fixed on him.
Cameron sighed helplessly as he walked up to her, his tone carrying a hint of indulgence. “You’re only getting in if I open the door for you?”
He personally opened the car door. Eliana stepped inside, slipping the ring into the small storage compartment on the door.
She thought Cameron had not noticed.
But to her surprise, when Eliana returned to the Davis residence that afternoon, she pulled Lunchie out of her bag and discovered the beeswax ring snugly on the paw of the fluffy creature!
Picking up the ring, Eliana demanded loudly, “Where did this come from?”
Lunchie looked at Eliana twice with her clear eyes before waddling to the side, where she lay down and resumed her playful battle with the slippers.
Eliana held the ring in her hand and sighed deeply twice.
After giving Landon the promotional discount vouchers for Sunset Cafe, he split them into several portions, handing some to the tennis club members to distribute while taking the rest to his own class.
The news about the grand opening of Sunset Cafe at the start of the month spread quickly, with a 20% discount offered for the first three days.
Every day after school, Eliana would visit the cafe to inspect and check if there was anything needing improvement before
