Scratches of Wound in Fiona's Heart
Wedding Gifts

Before going to the office, Steven took the time to Fiona's apartment.There was something he wanted to convey to her related to her wedding preparations.

Actually Steven could have delivered by phone, but he deliberately wanted to meet in person with his future wife because it has been 2 days in not meeting with Fiona.

They haven't seen each other since they visited Steven's mother's house 3 days ago. Steven is preoccupied with his office work piled up as a result of he did not work for 3 days because of attending William's wedding.

His mother also asked Steven to finish all his work before they got married. Moreover, one of their subsidiaries was having problems.

Steven has to go back and forth from a subsidiary to a parent company every day so he doesn't have time to see Fiona. While Fiona, these 2 days are only in the apartment. Even so, she was happy because Cindy visited her apartment yesterday to see how she was doing.

"Wait for me here, I'll see Fiona for a bit" Steven ordered before getting out of the car.

"Good sir."

Steven sets foot into Fiona's apartment unit. "Are you ready?" Steven approached Fiona who had just come out of her room.

"Yes, have you had breakfast?" ask Fiona while tidying up her appearance.

"Not yet." Steven sat on the sofa with a lethargic face. These days, he did not sleep properly.

"Wait here, we have breakfast together." Fiona walked into the kitchen and returned with 2 bowls and placed them on the table

"You cook?" steven asked when he saw that there was chicken porridge in the bowl that Fiona was carrying.

"Yeah, eat it."

Steven didn't speak anymore, grabbed the bowl in front of him then spent it with nothing left over.

"Fio, mama asked me to take you home today to pick a ring," Steven said after they finished their breakfast. Steven's mother had already told the owner of a famous jewelry store to come bring a limited edition ring.

"Aren't you doing a lot of work?"

"Yeah, there's still a lot of problems I have to solve."

"If you have a lot of work to do, let me go to your mother's house."

The relationship between Fiona and your mother Steven has indeed begun to improve, several times his mother contacted Fiona to ask her opinion regarding the preparation of a proposal that will be held in 4 days.

"It's okay. I'll accompany you. You must be uncomfortable being alone with mom."

Steven was just afraid that Fiona would feel pressured to go with her mother. Their relationship is not so close.

"Alright, but for the proposal, your mother said she'd prepared everything." Fiona looked doubtfully at Steven.

"What's wrong?" steven asked when he saw Fiona looking at him like she wanted to say something.

"Your mother wanted to meet with my mother before the proposal was made. What if my mom says about the family...." What Fiona fears is what if Sarah tells her about her real family background.

Fiona fears that Steven's mother will change her mind again after learning that Fiona is an orphan.

Steven clasped Fiona's left hand. "You don't have to be afraid. My mother wouldn't have gotten into that. After all, your mother wouldn't dare say anything about your family."

Sarah may miss the opportunity when Fiona will be made a son-in-law by the richest and most respected family in the entire country. Her degree would rise, should Fiona be Steven's wife. If, he acted again, he would definitely not get any benefits later.

In the afternoon, Steven picked up Fiona at his office. "Sister, I'll go home first." Fiona was standing in front along with her brother when she saw Steven get off the car.

"Tell your mother that we'll come to visit before the application day arrives. Don't make trouble if you still want to be considered family by Fiona." Steven's better off warning her from the start than he's making a mess when his mother visits Sarah's house.

"Yes, I'll tell my mom."

"Before the application day, may I stay at Fiona's apartment. I want to spend some time with her before she gets married."

However, he will no longer be free to meet with Fiona if she is already a daughter-in-law in the Pradigta family.

"Yaaa, but I don't allow you to take him out. I don't want it to happen again."

On the way, Steven was seen closing his eyes while leaning his head on Fiona's shoulder. He felt very tired due to the office work that was still piling up even though he had been overtime for a few days.

"Sir, we're here." Fiona wakes up Steven who was asleep in the car.

"Steve, you better take a shower first." Seeing Steven's lethargic face made Fiona feel pity.

"Yeah, I'll be with you for a while after that I'll take a shower." Steven took Fiona straight to the family room.

"Ma," said Steven.

Steven's mother raised her head when she heard his son's voice. "You sit down." Steven's mother was seen chatting with a shoulder-haired woman with a tiny face and looking beautiful.

"This is my son-in-law's candidate. Her name is Fiona."

Steven's mother introduced Fiona to the woman who owned the jewelry store that had become her subscription. Steven's mother always ordered jewelry at the woman's store because it has the best quality compared to others.

"Good night Miss Fiona, my name is Weny" she said kindly.

"Good night Miss Weny."

"Wen, show me your best collection of rings for my son-in-law and son" Steven's mother asked.

"Good Mistress." Weny took out a few red cities with famous brands, put them on a table, opened them and explained in detail to Fiona and Steven's mother. Steven seemed to be focusing on his phone.

"How about Fio, which one do you like? I asked Steven's mom after Weny finished explaining it.

Fiona seemed confused which one to choose. There were ten boxes in front of him and everything looked good, besides hearing the price made him have a stomachache.

Raised in the field, making Fiona know the quality of the ring in front of her but only this time, this time, he knows the price of a ring that has a limited stock that is usually only owned by an over-the-money person like the Steven family.

Fiona turned to Steven for her opinion. "It looks like the number 3 on the left side is good" pointed Steven at the blue diamond ring.

"This is the diamond ring I got when I attended the biggest auction in country H. Actually, I do not sell this ring because there is only 1 in the world, but Mrs Yesinta said she wanted to see it so I brought it here" said Weny.

"Are you going to give it to me if my future son-in-law wants it?" ask Steven's mom.

Weny thought for a moment. "All right, I'll give you." Since Yesinta has only one child and it will be a one-on-one wedding in the Pradigta family, then she wants to give her best to customers who have VIP member cards.

"Alright, thank you Wen. I'll give the ring to my son-in-law as a wedding present.".

"Fio, in addition to the ring, choose another one for you to use when exchanging rings at your wedding."

Steven looked at his mother with a surprised look. She did not expect that her mother would give Fiona a gift. Fiona Jiga was no less surprised, actually she wanted to refuse, but she did not dare because she was afraid Steven's mother would be offended later.

After choosing another ring, Steven's mother immediately completed the payment. It was Steven who was going to pay for it but was rejected by his mother. The Graff Blue Diamond Ring weighs 26.6 carats and is worth 620 billion. That ring was what Steven's mother would give Fiona, while for Fiona and Steven's wedding ring, it was valued at 322 Billion.

"Darling, I'm upstairs first. You wait here with Mama."

"Yes." Yeah."

Steven's mother looked at Fiona. "It's late, stay here. You can sleep in Steven's sister's room or in the guest room."

Speaking of sister, Fiona almost forgot that Steven had a foster sister. Fiona has never met or seen the face of Steven's foster sister. He had wanted to ask Steven for a long time, but he had always forgotten. All he knows is that Steven's brother is a man.

"Good Aunt."

After the shower, Steven went straight down. "Steve, Fiona will stay here. Take her to Bryan's room or to the guest room" Steven's mother said.

Steven glanced at Fiona for a moment then turned to look at her mother. "Let Fiona sleep in my room Ma. I'll sleep in Bryan's room."

"All right, but remember! Don't fuck around Steve. You can't...."

"Yeah, I know Ma." Steven could already guess what his mother was going to say.

"Come in." Steven opens the door to his room, letting Fiona in.

Fiona stepped quietly while circulating her gaze throughout the room. This was the first time she had seen the private room of the man she loved.

Steven closed the door and walked over to Fiona who was still looking at her room. "So, this is the shape of your room."

"Yes, you were the first woman to make it here" Steven said, hugging Fiona from behind.

"really?" Fiona looked back a little.

"Of course," Steven replied quickly, "I can't wait for our wedding day to come baby" whispered Steven.

"Steve, release! Don't you remember your mother's message. What if your mom comes in?"

"It won't be, baby. Mama never went into my room without my permission." Steven tightened his embrace. "Let me hold you for a while, it's been 2 days I haven't seen you, I miss you so much, Fio."

"We just don't meet for 2 days Steve, how about we don't meet for a year?"

"Maybe I'd go crazy if I hadn't seen you for a year, so don't ever leave me, Fio."
