Chapter 241: Chapter 241: Just Got Married and the Novelty Has Already Worn Off
The atmosphere in the room was dead silent.
Her voice spread across the room, lingering for a long time without dissipating in Adrian Walyon’s ears.
Adrian didn’t speak for a long time after her words.
The bedroom lights were off, and Summer Sutton couldn’t see the expression on his face.
However, she could feel that he was probably angry.
Summer Sutton had guessed this would be the outcome, so she wasn’t surprised.
She was waiting for Adrian to explode.
Unexpectedly, Adrian just looked at her, his gaze cold.
He didn’t say anything, staring at her for a long time, his handsome face tense.
"I will find a way to get it back!" Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Summer Sutton turned her back, deciding to go to sleep first tonight.
After throwing a sentence to Adrian, she seemed to truly fall asleep.
She didn’t say another word after that.
Adrian closed his eyes, resisting the urge to wake her, and shut his eyes as well.
Summer had lost the ring, and without mentioning how expensive it was, just in terms of the ring’s significance, she had to find it.
Throughout the night, she actually didn’t sleep well.
At dawn the next day, she got up to continue searching up and down the floors.
The Walyon Family’s garden usually had servants tending to it every day.
After Summer got up, she didn’t allow the servants to tidy the place and started searching the garden alone, turning over the soil inch by inch.
She searched meticulously, lifting each blade of grass to look beneath.
"Young Madam, what are you looking for?" a servant asked with concern upon seeing her anxious expression.
"A ring." Summer Sutton didn’t even lift her head.
The servant paused for a moment, then knelt down to help her search.
At first, it was just one person helping her search, then a group of people, and finally even the entire Walyon Family’s servants were involved.
However, despite turning the Walyon Family upside down, the ring was still not found.
...
Today, Adrian Walyon seemed to be in a low mood.
After coming downstairs, he hadn’t spoken a word.
Usually, he and Summer Sutton showed off their affection quite a lot, and he had even clashed with Diana Wood several times over Summer.
However, at breakfast, the couple didn’t say a single word to each other.
This sudden lack of affection made Diana feel a bit uncomfortable.
"Oh, what’s this about?" she mocked lightly, "How many days have you been married, and the thrill is already gone?"
She interpreted Adrian’s kindness to Summer as just a fleeting novelty.
Summer Sutton paused her dining motions, casting a sidelong glance at Adrian.
Adrian kept a stern face, coldly retorting, "Is Madam Walyon too idle? It would be better to mind your own business!"
With a click, he put down his chopsticks, having only finished half his breakfast, and left the table to go to the office.
Despite losing the ring, Summer Sutton was not willing to give up. She didn’t attend any classes today and decided to stay at the Walyon Family to continue searching.
Yet, no matter how she racked her brains, she couldn’t think of where the ring might have fallen.
The only place in the Walyon Family that hasn’t been searched yet was the lake.
Could it have fallen into the lake?
But she hadn’t even gone near the lake, and unless someone deliberately threw it in, it was impossible for it to have fallen in.
Where else could it be?
Summer Sutton’s head was about to burst from thinking.
When Adrian put the wedding ring on her, he had said that once she wore it, she was never to take it off.
Now suddenly losing it, his anger was inevitable.
Summer Sutton felt deeply troubled.
In the afternoon, when she really couldn’t think of where else the ring could be, she continued to search the soil in the garden inch by inch.
She was purely attempting to search, harboring a slight hope that maybe the ring had fallen on the ground, and someone had accidentally stepped it into the soil while passing by.
