"Woah, Young Master Rhysand! I never thought you'd have such a soft side, even giving your wife a dress," Collins teased.
Rhysand didn't reply. He had no hidden motives; he simply wanted Ariel to have something nice.
Ariel was always saving money, often choosing not to buy new clothes.
He'd noticed this and wanted to treat her, but as a bodyguard, he couldn't openly buy her expensive things without raising suspicion.
This was the perfect moment.
Last time, Ariel had suspected he got money from questionable sources, maybe even thinking he earned it at the club.
He couldn't let her doubt him again.
The dress was custom-made abroad, tailored by a designer to fit Ariel perfectly.
He just hadn't figured out a reason to give it to her until billion-dollar check, that was Collins' idea.
The other party was determined to test Ariel, wanting to see if she would take the money.
