Chapter 418: New Flame, Old Love, Jealousy Ablaze
Cecilia Vaughn’s originally bright eyes turned dull the moment she heard that seemingly surprised and delighted female voice.
She put down the heavy bow and arrow in her hands and looked forward with a very unfriendly expression.
——As expected, Fiona Vaughn and Tyson Law were standing side by side, looking towards her and Adrian Law.
Fiona Vaughn was dressed in this winter’s high-end Chanel velvet dress, wrapped in a little shearling jacket, looking very fashionable and charming.
And Tyson Law was gently holding Fiona, as if the beauty in his arms was a fragile glass doll, just waiting for a slight inattentiveness that might make it knock and break.
Months had passed, yet Fiona Vaughn’s belly was still not very noticeable. Her attire did not resemble that of a pregnant woman at all – wearing high heels and bright red lipstick as if the child in her belly did not exist.
——To be honest, although Cecilia Vaughn doesn’t like to maliciously speculate about others, she was very suspicious about Fiona Vaughn’s still flat belly and wondered if she was still dieting deliberately during her pregnancy period, just like before, to maintain her star figure.
Even though dieting is a personal freedom, it is still somewhat chilling when considering the baby in her belly.
...
No matter which way you look at it, seeing these two always made Cecilia Vaughn feel upset.
A thin veil of sarcasm flitted through Cecilia Vaughn’s eyes.
"Fiona Vaughn, how come I feel like I bump into you everywhere?"
Fiona elegantly flicked her hair, her beautiful eyes like shimmering autumn water, making one feel they were the most beautiful eyes in the world.
"Sister, this means we sisters have a heart-to-heart connection, right, Tyson?"
Tyson Law raised the corners of his lips slightly and cast her a gentle, indulgent look.
"Fiona, since Cecilia and Mr. Law don’t welcome us, let’s leave."
It wasn’t just about not welcoming them!
Seeing these two still flirting in front of her almost made Cecilia Vaughn vomit yesterday’s meal.
If she had known she would run into these two here, she’d rather have changed places in advance!
...
Fiona Vaughn seemed to have noticed Cecilia Vaughn’s annoyance, biting her moist red lips instantly.
"Sister, Tyson was just joking, I think someone as generous as you wouldn’t mind seeing me and Tyson, right? After all, you and Mr. Law did say you would attend mine and Tyson’s wedding."
Not knowing whether it was intentional bragging or what, Fiona deliberately raised her hand and flashed the large pink diamond ring on her left ring finger at Cecilia.
This was no longer the white diamond from last time; it was a new style. Cecilia had a faint feeling of familiarity with this pink diamond, like she’d seen it somewhere before.
She curved her lips into a smug smile.
"Sister, this ring was specially bought for me by Tyson. It’s a work by the foreign master Vanxter who said it would be the only pink diamond custom-made for me and Tyson for life."
Since Adrian had bought Cecilia a red diamond, Fiona had been endlessly resentful and jealous in her heart. Knowing she couldn’t beat Cecilia in the same category, she opted for the more common and favored pink diamond.
Vanxter’s master jewelry further raised the jewelry’s intrinsic value and prestige.
Though Cecilia’s engagement red diamond was great, at the end of the day, it was personally made by Adrian. In Fiona’s opinion, as nice as sentiment sounds, it couldn’t surpass the added value of a master’s work.
...
Cecilia’s sharp gaze swept over the pink diamond on Fiona’s hand, her profound eyes gradually carrying a hint of humor.
——Could Fiona be here to make up for the past issue?
She had long forgotten about that diamond ring contest and rarely wore the diamond ring out due to its ostentation, which really didn’t match her low-key nature. Yet Fiona still harbored resentment about it for so long.
...
Cecilia’s thin lips curved slightly.
"Then congrats on finally getting a colored diamond that suits your wish."
Adrian smiled noncommittally, pulling Cecilia into his arms.
"Cecilia, if you like this colored diamond color, or any other like red, orange, yellow, green, blue, or purple, just let me know, and I can get them all for you."
Cecilia, she is his wife...
The woman who belongs solely to him, the one only he can possess, only he can adore.
To Adrian, the pink diamond Fiona flaunted was not even worth a glance.
...
Fiona’s previously smug face was suddenly hard to maintain.
Thinking about Adrian’s willingness to spend lavishly on Cecilia made jealousy gnaw at her heart like a venomous snake.
"Mr. Law, I think my sister isn’t someone who likes pink diamonds, is she? Sister, don’t you think so?"
If Cecilia also bought pink diamonds, Adrian would probably find one larger in carats, with a more famous diamond cut design, spoiling her grand appearance planned for the cruise wedding.
It wouldn’t be feasible to find a new diamond ring at the last minute, would it? Otherwise, she’d be completely exhausted...
Here, Fiona really misunderstood Adrian and Cecilia.
——Because neither of them liked that kind of nouveau riche aesthetic with big diamonds; they preferred finely crafted delicate diamonds instead.
...
Seeing Fiona so anxious, the sarcasm in Cecilia’s gaze deepened.
"Who said I don’t like pink diamonds?"
Seeing Fiona’s choked expression, Cecilia didn’t feel the need to taunt her. Seeing these two was vexing, better to change places.
She turned her head and whispered to the handsome man beside her.
"Adrian, I want to go horse riding, let’s go."
She might as well leave the archery place to Fiona and Tyson, out of sight, out of mind.
Cecilia was also thinking that Fiona, being pregnant, couldn’t possibly go horse riding, so she purposely pulled Adrian away.
...
However, who knew that as soon as she and Adrian arrived at the racecourse, before they could even pick a horse they liked, those two annoying figures occupied her field of vision again.
"Sister, what a coincidence, meeting you guys at the racecourse again..."
Arriving back to back, how could that be called a coincidence?
Her expression was frosty, and just as she was about to speak, Fiona suddenly seemed to recall something amusing and chuckled while clutching Tyson’s arm.
"Tyson, do you remember when you taught my sister to join the horseback riding competition together, and you returned with a prize? Back then, everyone in the class envied you two, saying you were the top student couple who even had interests in learning such things together..."
"At that time, my sister really liked Tyson, after all, everyone says that one’s first love is the most unforgettable man in one’s life, right?"
The surrounding air instantly froze.
Adrian gripped Cecilia’s hand firmly.
And Fiona appeared to have realized she’d said something wrong, raising her head timidly.
"I... I’m sorry, should I not have brought that up..."
