Author's notes: Heyyy guys, so in the end I couldn't upload the chapter last Sunday but my final exams are over now! Now I just gotta wait for a month for the results 😩

So I actually wanna announce something in this chapter: I have a whole bunch of new (x Reader) ideas that I really wanna publish but can't yet because I want to focus on finishing this story, my Zeldris x Reader story and my Dreamwastaken x OC story. But so far these are the characters I have focused on: Meliodas, Zeldris (another one, I know 😋 ), Genos (from One Punch Man), Shirou Ogami (from BNA: Brand New Animal), Izuku Midoriya (from My Hero Academia except Midoriya will be a villain 😋 ), Eijiro Kirishima (from My Hero Academia), Katsuki Bakugo (from My Hero Academia), and Shota Aizawa (from My Hero Academia). The last one is what I'm really excited for: Male OC x Seven Deadly Sins! But like I said, I plan to finish my three current stories before moving onto any of these stories.

Sooo for now, let's focus on (Y/n) spending some more quality time with Ban! Next chapter will be up next weekend! Enjoy :)

"So now I know you're a lady who really likes her rings," a sing-song voice says into my ear.

"I am and always will be," I croon as the Sin of Greed nuzzles his nose against my ear from behind me.

We've been sitting for an hour now underneath the same tree by the meadows where Ban confessed his feelings for me a month ago. After saying our goodbyes to Ave, Ban said he wanted to continue our walk for just a little bit longer. We tried out several different dishes at different market stalls, and I must say they were all really good. But of course, none of them was better than Ban's cooking.

"I'll keep that in mind then," Ban murmurs and his long fingers interlace with my own on both hands that are placed on my crossed legs. My back is against his broad chest and I'm sitting on top of his crossed legs.

"Does that mean you'll buy me even more jewellery?" I tease and then shiver when I feel his cool breath spread over my bare neck.

"I'll steal all the treasures in this world for you," comes the whispered response.

"Steal? So you won't buy them for me?" I inelegantly snort. "Damn, you can't even be a gentleman about this, can you?"

"Oi," Ban says before chuckling.

"So do you consider Ave to be your second mother?" I ask abruptly.

"Hmm?" Ban raises my hand that has the ring on it in front of us, sunlight shining through our interlocked fingers. "Never had a mother in the first place, so I consider Ave to be my first mother or even my second Guardian since Zhivago takes the number one spot as Guardian."

Ouch. His biological mother is just tossed out of the picture, but who can blame him really. His parents never truly cared for him, and this always breaks my hearts every time I think about it. But it's different now. Ban has the Seven Deadly Sins, Elizabeth, Jericho, Aldro, Hawk, and so many more who have been placed in his life. Including me.

"You didn't deserve that kind of life," I say as Ban brings back down our hands.

"But it made me who I am today," he points out. "In the end, everyone has a dark chapter in their lives, right (Y/n/n)?"
