"No, why do you ask?" Claudia Ross shook her head in bewilderment.
"Just curious."
Mark Reed took the glass of water passed to him by Claudia Ross, took a sip, and forcibly suppressed the sourness in his heart.
After a short sit, Mark Reed left.
He went to find Wyatt Perry with the ring in his pocket.
Wyatt Perry was waiting for Claudia Ross to see the ring and give him a call, but to his surprise, it was Mark Reed who turned up.
The two agreed to meet at a bar.
When Wyatt Perry arrived, Mark Reed was fiddling with the ring.
Seeing the ring he had chosen with care in Mark Reed's hands, Wyatt Perry's face darkened, and he rushed up to snatch the ring back.
As his suspicions were confirmed, Mark Reed said with a light tone, tinged with scorn, "Claudia asked me to return the ring to you and requests that you stop bothering her from now on."
