Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle

Chapter 3256 Heart Of Flame



Chapter 3256 Heart Of Flame

When Marcos personally called his name, Ethan snorted coldly, pretending as though he did not hear it.

Marcos did not mind.

This was A City, not Russia. Matysh would not be getting out easily.

Luke suddenly burst into laughter when he saw how arrogant Ethan was.

Ethan heard him and turned his head to look at him.

Luca turned around and asked, "Is there something you need?"

Ethan felt like the three of them were targeting him, so he irritably turned his head away.

Luke continued, "No matter how many times Matysh appeals, the original verdict will likely be upheld. His case is extremely severe, and the public's reaction has been quite bad.

"A City won't care about his influence in Russia. Everything will be judged based on the severity of his crimes here in A City, according to the law."

Luca, worried that Ethan might not fully understand, clarified, "To put it simply, no matter how many appeals he makes, it won't make a difference."

Ethan's expression darkened.

He would be returning to Russia with Marcos this time.

He intended to seek out experts and relevant connections in Russia to see if he could help Matysh.

What they were saying felt like a prophecy, reminding him that no matter what he did, it would be futile.

Matysh was destined to serve his sentence in A City.

After dinner, Marcos personally escorted them downstairs.

This time, Ethan did not follow because their discussion at the table made him realize that appealing on Matysh's behalf would be ineffective.

Plus, with the appeal deadline looming, he needed to contact Russia immediately.

Marcos stood in the elevator with the two and suddenly pulled out a jewelry box from his pocket.

"Ms. Craw, as a token of gratitude for the hospitality Mr. Crawford and you have shown during this time, I've prepared a gift for you. I hope you accept it," said Marcos.

"Oh, thank you." Luca graciously accepted the box. Although it looked like it might contain a ring, the fact that Marcos was presenting it meant there was likely something significant inside.

She accepted it gracefully, and Luke did not say anything.

After leaving the hotel, Luca opened the jewelry box.

When she saw the note inside, she smiled and showed it to Luke before reading it aloud: "Hello, Ms. Craw. Here lies the ring my parents used in their wedding. After she left the family, the ring came into my possession.

"Now, I'd appreciate it if you could help return this ring to its rightful owner. I believe my mother misses it dearly as it holds great significance for her."

"I knew it," added Luca. When she saw the jewelry box, she had guessed that Marcos wanted her to help return it to Sarah.

Sure enough, that was the case. Content belong to NôvelDráma. Org.

"Give it to Ms. Poplar after they've returned to Russia," said Luke.

"Yes, that's what I was thinking." Luca nodded. Even though there was no one visibly following them now, it was hard to say if there were any of Ethan's people lurking around.

She remained cautious even though they were heading back.

Luca looked at the ruby ring in the jewelry box. Even after more than 20 years, the ruby was still stunning, shimmering faintly under the dim streetlights.

It was a beautiful gem.

Luca commented, "The ring has been well-maintained."

"Do you know the story behind this ring?" Luke asked while driving.

"Huh? There's a story?" Luca asked in surprise.

Luke nodded. "Of course."

"To be precise, it's the story of the gemstone set in the ring," added Luke.

"I didn't realize you knew so much about their wedding ring. Do tell me." Luca was curious.

Luke smiled. "It's not that I made a point to learn their story. It's just that before their wedding, I searched high and low for this ring, but I couldn't find it. I didn't expect it to be with Marcos, let alone to discover it was his parents' wedding ring."

Luca touched the ruby on the ring. It felt cold to the touch, hinting at a beautiful love story behind it.

Luke continued, "The ring is called the Heart of Flame. The fiery red gemstone represents passionate love. Originally, the gem was sold by a gem dealer to a European noble. The noble, seeing the flame-like brilliance of the gem, thought of his beloved wife. He designed the ring setting and had the gemstone set in it."

"And then?" asked Luca.

"Naturally, the noble's wife was deeply moved when she received the ring. She vowed to be with him forever, and the noble remained devoted to her. They lived a loving life together, growing old together.

"The noble's wife passed away at the age of 98, and the next day, the noble followed her. So, the ring symbolizes not just love and happiness but also longevity. Many years later, the ring was auctioned by the noble's descendants, and it was unexpectedly purchased by Marcos' father."

Luke reflected on how he had once searched for the ring for a long time but never found it, only to discover it was in Marcos' family. He was quite surprised.

Luca expected a tragic tale but was pleasantly surprised by the story of enduring love and a happily-ever-after. Yet, she thought that if the gem's symbolism were not so positive, Luke would not have considered giving it to her. However, what good was a gem's positive symbolism if it did not come true for the wearer?

Like Marcos' parents.

If Marcos' father had not passed away early, Sarah might not be in her current situation.

They were in love and overcame societal norms and class differences back then.

Nevertheless, their ending was not perfect.

Luca remembered the diamond ring Luke had given her and asked, "What about the ring you gave me before?"

The diamond ring Luke gave her for their wedding was large.

She wore it only during the wedding ceremony and usually wore another ring from him, which was more delicate

and less extravagant.

After she was kidnapped, she lost that ring.

Still, she assumed the diamond ring from the wedding was still somewhere, so she asked out of curiosity.

Luke's expression changed.

Luca noticed his expression and asked, "Could it be..."

Luke hesitated before telling her the truth, "It was taken by the impostor Bianca. I don't know what happened to

the ring afterward."

Luke let out a sigh of frustration.

He had thought the impostor Bianca was her.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Hence, after she was discharged from the hospital, he found the ring in a jewelry box and put it on her.

At that time, he did not suspect anything. He just thought she was affected by the trauma. He did not say anything when he saw her wearing the ring.

However, he really did not keep track of where the ring went after that.

"I see." Luca nodded, but then she heard him continue.
