"Close your eyes . " His voice was warm as a spring breeze . Yet it failed to entice her .
She widened them instead when he grabbed her hand .
Ira stared at his lower abdomen with hatred . What if she closed her eyes, and he placed her hand there? At this moment, impossible!
"No," she muttered under her breath .
Vivan scratched his head when he realized the site her eyes were focussed on . He felt his scalp tingling . What was this woman thinking? I am not that shameless .
"Trust me!"
She shook her head . You can't have your cake and eat it too . He wished to tease as well as be sincere at the same time .
Had he done many deeds inconsistent with his gentleman's temperament that she no longer looks at him without doubts?
"Okay" He sounded exhausted and powerless . Vivan pointed to the table, her eyes inadvertently moved there .
There was a platinum ring placed on it . She picked it in a jiff . It was a simple style ring with no diamonds or carvings of any patterns . Designed by a famous jewelry maker from Italy .
It only had the initials of their names, V I engraved the back .
He knew her preferences . Compared to the flashy display, she preferred simple and elegant things .
Until this day, he had never seen a ring on her finger . So initially he was worried the little one didn't like wearing any .
Hence he specifically asked the maker to design a silver chain so she could wear it as a necklace .
Just as Ira opened her mouth to say something, her right hand was caught by the man . He snatched the ring . She tried to pull it back but her strength is too small compared to him .
"Stupid . It's yours . " He flicked her forehead . And took her right hand again . Vivan bent her fingers, and slipped the ring in her sleek finger .
She still wore a confused look . He had embraced her arms, sniffing the fragrance of her body .
"Good, you must wear it always," he said as he held her hand and pointed the ring on it . It shined under the sun .
She stood like a piece of wood staring at her finger .
"What happened?" he asked .
Flabbergasted she spoke, "How?"
"You mean how did this ring appear here?" This woman would have had a perfect surprise but she refused to close her eyes . Now, why was she so hard to understand?
" I asked Ash to bring it . It turns out I have never gifted you any jewelry all these years, so I bought this as Valentine's gift . "
"Why didn't you give it to me sooner? Valentine's day is long gone . " She pouted and proceeded to take it off . "I had prepared many dishes with my own hands . You didn't even come back . "
Fuelled with jealousy and anger he wasted the day . He assumed she would spend the day out . Instead, she was waiting for him .
"Okay . Sorry . " He patted her hands and went along with her acting .
Upon hearing this, her black eyes lit . He finally won an eye-catching smile .
"I'll forgive you . " It lasted for a second before her proud smug look took over .
