I am the top jewelry designer in the country.
For our wedding, I designed a pair of rings called "Forever Promise" that told the story of my decade-long love with Caelan, becoming a beautiful industry fairy tale.
Hospital regulations prohibit doctors from wearing rings during work hours.
So Caelan made a habit of always wearing our wedding ring on his chest.
He said it was as if I lived on his heart.
Later, his first love slipped a plain ring onto his finger.
He couldn't bear to take it off even while working.
I finally understood that my carefully designed ring was no match for her simple band.
His ring finger had always been reserved for someone else.

I Am a Jewelry Designer, Yet He Only Loves a Plain Ring

Neve accompanied me home to get my luggage, letting me stay at her place temporarily.


She didn't say anything, just silently kept me company.


In the evening, Caelan came looking for me.


He looked haggard, standing at the door.


"Indra, I'm just asking for a chance to explain."


Neve was furious and wanted to chase him away, but I stopped her.


At this point, I just wanted to cut ties with him completely.


He looked at me in disbelief, his face turning deathly pale.


"No, Indra... listen to my explanation..."


He unconsciously crumpled the thin paper in his hand.


"I admit, I've been lying recently. I did have dinner with her a few times..."


"But we didn't do anything! And I had reasons for doing this!"


I sneered, "Are you going to say she's dying?"


Caelan was stunned: "How did you know?"
