My Romantic Adventures #135

A man jokingly gives his girlfriend an expensive engagement ring, but she takes it seriously and leaves him. Years later, he encounters her at a college campus where she is now working, and they rekindle their romance, but her wealthy uncle disapproves of the match and threatens to cut off her inheritance if she marries before his deadline. The couple parts ways, with the woman staying behind while the man moves to California, ultimately choosing a life alone over a marriage based on financial security.
