Chapter 98 Not Important 

With a feigned look of guilt, Sidonic said, “I’m sorry, I was just trying to help hang up your blazer and ended up dropping your rings on the floor. These two rings must be quite important to you, right?” 

Sidonie appeared to be apologizing, but in reality, she aimed to understand why Trent was so concerned about the rings. 

Trent pursed his lips and was quiet for a long while. Are they important? Once, I had thought that these rings held no importance at all. They were merely cheap trinkets I had bought just for the sake of getting married. 

During his three years of marriage, Trent hadn’t paid any attention to the wedding rings at all. In fact, if he hadn’t accidentally stumbled upon the two rings in a drawer, he wouldn’t have even remembered their existence. 

However, in the days that followed their divorce, Trent kept those two rings with him, occasionally caressing them. 

Even he himself didn’t know why he acted that way. 

“They’re nothing important,” Trent said, somewhat uncomfortably. 

“If they’re not important, then why were you so worked up just now? You even scared Sidonie,” Yorick blurted out. However, when his gaze fell on the rings in Trent’s hand, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes. “These rings seem familiar… Ah, that’s right. Aren’t these the wedding rings you bought when you married Quinn?” 

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere on the scene shifted once again. 

Upon seeing the change in Sidonie’s face, Trent couldn’t help but clutch the two rings tightly in his hand. 

Upon seeing that Trent remained silent, Yorick was immediately taken aback and blurted out, “No way. Are those really your wedding rings? You’re already divorced, so why on earth are you still carrying these unlucky things around?” 

Unlucky? Trent frowned. “Yorick, even if you are my friend, you can’t talk like that!” 

“What’s wrong with what I said?” Yorick stated nonchalantly. “You should have gotten rid of these unlucky things a long time ago. Now, you should really be thinking about what kind of wedding rings to buy for you and Sidonie.” 

“I’m just friends with Sidonie,” Trent said. 

“Enough with that. It’s one thing to say it in front of others, but it’s just us three here. To still say such things, you’re really disrespecting Sidonie,” Yorick retorted. 

Trent’s expression shifted subtly as he turned to look at Sidonie. 

Sidonie managed a forced smile. “These are the wedding rings of Trent and Quinn. After all, they were married for three years before they suddenly divorced. It’s not wrong for Trent to keep the rings on him. Besides, Trent and I are just friends now.” 

“What are you talking about? If you hadn’t left for abroad back then, Quinn wouldn’t have had the chance to swoop in. How could Trent have married Quinn? For the past three years, you’ve been the only one he 

cared for,” Yorick said.

“Really?” Sidonie’s gaze was filled with anticipation as she looked at Trent. 

For a moment, Trent was at a loss for words. 

In the past, Sidonie was indeed the only one in his heart. When Sidonie returned to their homeland, he did everything within his power to treat her well, wishing to repay the life–saving grace he’d received. 

Yet, these days, he couldn’t help but reminisce about the little moments and memories from his three years of marriage to Quinn. 

In particular, those words that Quinn spoke to him at the airport weighed on his mind. Could my life savior really be Quinn? 

“Trent, what are you daydreaming about? Sidonie is waiting for your answer,” Yorick urged. 

Trent opened his mouth to speak. “I…” 

At that moment, Trent was at a loss for words. 

When Sidonie saw that, a glint flickered in her eyes. She then said, “There’s no need to rush such matters. Still, if only I hadn’t gone abroad back then, we wouldn’t have missed those three years together.” 

“Sidonie, I’ve only just divorced, so that’s why…” 

“I get it,” Sidonie said with an understanding look on her face. “The airline I’m working for has given me a long vacation. Do you remember the island development project in Yarburn I mentioned last time? Since I’m free now, I can accompany you there and introduce you to my mother’s family, who are currently involved in the project.” 

As soon as the topic of work came up, Trent’s spirits lifted instantly. “Sidonie, thank you.” 

“There’s no need for formalities between us,” Sidonie said with a chuckle. 

She was determined to make Trent understand that just as Quinn could bring in projects for his company, she, Sidonie, could do the same. In fact, she could even secure bigger and better projects for him. Who does Quinn think she is, even daring to compare herself with me? 

Trent was somewhat relieved. The Yarburn island development project was extremely crucial for his current company. No matter what, he was determined to secure at least a portion of the project. 

Moreover, Quinn was also in Yarburn at that moment. Once he got to Yarburn, Trent planned to find Quinn and get a clear explanation. He wanted to know why she had said those words to him at the airport.
