Chapter 114 A special ring
"Do you like it?" Jane looked at Edwin Carter and asked.
She also didn’t know that she wanted to ask him that he likes her or the scenery.
"I like it." Edwin Carter’s answered succinctly.
Whether she wanted to know about her or the scenery, he liked both.
Jane was happy with his answer. She grabbed Edwin Carter’s hand and asked, "Mr. Carter, I’ll take you to dig the treasure."
"Treasure digging?" Edwin Carter thought it was a game that children play, but he still did not refuse to follow her.
Jane led him to a place and introduced, "This place was discovered by my mother. She brought me here for the first time. After that, she couldn’t accompany me often. So I came here alone..."
When she recalled her dead mother, she became sad for a moment, but just after a moment, she smiled. She wanted to live a good life much better than her past so that she can pay back to her mother who sacrificed her life for her daughter’s protection.
"Now, I will accompany you wherever you go." Edwin Carter tightly held her hand and softly said.
I will accompany you wherever you go.
A simple short sentence, his habitual way of speaking. But every word of this sentence expressed his deep concern and his deep love. Every single word touched Jane’s heart.
Jane always knew and believed that the men who always say nice and pleasant words to impress women are not necessarily reliable. But the men who often said nice things, but always expressed their love with practical actions are the most reliable.
And her Edwin Carter, yes, he’s her Edwin Carter. She has such a reliable man. Jane thought about the things that Edwin Carter did for her in these days. Jane’s smile became more brilliant and charming.
She added, "My mother gave this ice lake a name. Can you guess the name? "
"My Jane?" Edwin Carter knew about her mother’s love for her. He could only think of this name.
My Jane?
The name uttered from Edwin Carter’s mouth. Whenever he called her name, it always sounded more magnetic and pleasant to hear. Her heart beat faster, and her face turned red again.
Her mother loved her unconditionally, she always called her my Jane and Laura is her best friend for the last 10 years she always called her Jane. She always loved to hear her name from these two. But when Edwin called her name she felt like he was calling his whole universe.
Jane wanted to be his whole universe.
However, compared with "Jane", she preferred to hear him calling her "Mrs. Carter."
Mr. Carter, Mrs. Carter, this was their affirmation of each other’s identity.
She rubbed her hot face and said again, "Wrong, guess again."
Edwin Carter thought about it seriously. But he couldn’t imagine what kind of name Jane’s mother would give the lake.
"Guess again, I’ll give you five chances." Simply said.
She took him out for a walk but he was silent. So she had to pick a topic to discuss.
Edwin Carter thought for a moment and said, "Jane Ronan?"
"Mr. Carter, can you think in a romantic way?"
Edwin Carter thought about it seriously again and finally shook his head.
"Fool!" Jane looked at him in disgust and said, "My mother named the ice lake as Sea Love."
Sea Love, doesn’t only express the love between a man and a woman but also express all feelings, all kinds of love, love for family, love for life partner, and love in a friendship.
Whether the feelings relate to a family, friendship, or a life partner, each kind of feeling should be pure and loyal.
However, in the family where she grew up, the husband was not like the husband, the father was not like the father, and the elder sister was not like the elder sister. Their blood wasn’t thicker than the ice, and their family relationship had been destroyed long ago by them.
"Um." Edwin Carter nodded, meaning that he understood.
Uh huh?
That’s the answer? Does he not going to ask her why her mother chose this name?
She really wanted to bit him.
"What’s wrong?" Edwin Carter hadn’t realized that something was wrong.
"Edwin Carter, why don’t you ask me why she chose this name?"
"Why?"
Jane gave him a bad look and walked on.
Now, she knew the reason that Edwin Carter didn’t get married before must be those girls always got angry with him.
It’s just because his EQ is not high enough, no one would willing to marry him before meeting her.
Jane turned to him again and held his hand, "Don’t be upset, I won’t dislike you."
Edwin Carter, "..."
They walked slowly and cherish the scenery. After a long walk, they came to a big tree.
Jane remembered something, picked up the branch and began to dig the earth, "Mr. Carter, please help me in digging a treasure box."
This infantile behavior of digging treasure, Edwin Carter did not play when he was very young, and now when he was 28 years old, he was forced by his wife to play. He did not feel bored, on the contrary, there was a good feeling in his heart. That was not boring and what actually mattered was that he was doing all these childish acts with his wife Jane.
After digging for a long time, a box appeared in front of them. Jane was very happy, "There you are."
"What is it?" Edwin noticed Jane’s exciting appearance and asked with curiosity.
"Wait for a moment." Jane opened the box carefully. There was a small wooden box inside the box.
Jane opened the small box and took out a ring, "See, I take you here to give you this."
Edwin Carter sighed. His wife was behaving exactly like a small child, who loves to play such games.
"Give me your hand," Jane said.
Edwin Carter raised his hand. She grabbed his hand and put the ring on his ring finger, "This is a gift for you. You have to wear it forever. Never take it off."
She didn’t tell him that she and her mother together buried this ring here. At that time, her mother rubbed her head and said to her, "Jane, when you meet a man who really treats you well and when u decide to spend your life with him then dig it out and give it to him."
In the past, she didn’t know why she never wanted to give this to Christopher Greyson. But later she met Edwin Carter, she decided to give this ring to him. The meaning of giving him this ring was that she had decided to spend the rest of life with this man.
Her husband, Edwin Carter.
Edwin Carter, I want to have a good life with you!
Do you hear me?
Jane wanted to say that loudly.
