At Funeral, Widow Notices Maid Has Identical Ring to the One Her Late Husband Wore – Daily Drama
Elizabeth and her husband, Simon, were happily married for many years. After his sudden death, Elizabeth learned at the funeral that perhaps they weren’t as happy as she thought.
Elizabeth and Simon were married for several years and raised two beautiful children together. They had gotten married in their early 20s after having been madly in love as high school sweethearts.
Simon was a businessman, and Elizabeth was a housewife. She used to work as a real estate agent in the earlier years of their marriage, but after they had their first child, Elizabeth decided she would focus on raising their children full-time.

However, when the children got older, Elizabeth grew tired of being at home and decided to get back into real estate. Simon was happy to see Elizabeth back doing what she loved, but he worried about who would keep the house in order.
They decided to hire a maid, Rose, who lived in their house. Simon was fond of Rose, and they got along pretty well. They would often have long talks once Elizabeth returned from work, and she considered Rose to be a friend.
One day, Elizabeth noticed that her husband was wearing a new ring on his finger. Besides his wedding ring and a simple watch collection, Simon wasn’t really into accessories, so this struck Elizabeth as odd.

He had also lost his wedding ring a while back and expressed no desire to restore it. He constantly complained about it annoying him and would often take it off from time to time; that’s essentially what led to him losing it.
“Love, is that a new ring on your finger?” Elizabeth asked.
“Oh, yeah, this little old thing,” Simon said nonchalantly.
“It’s nice. You’ve never been one for jewelry, though. When did you get it?” Elizabeth inquired.

“About a week ago. I saw it at the jewelry store in town and thought I’d treat myself,” Simon responded, slightly nervous this time.
While Elizabeth found the whole situation peculiar, she figured this was just one of the many facets of marriage.
People’s tastes and habits change, especially if they’ve been together as long as we have, Elizabeth thought.
So, she quickly forgot about it.
A year later, Simon passed away suddenly from a heart attack. Elizabeth’s world came crumbling down, and she tried her hardest to be strong for her children, but the pain was unbearable.
Rose was also surprisingly torn by Simon’s death. Elizabeth figured it must’ve been because she had basically become part of their family over the years.
