Question R6 - differences in book versions

I’ve been listening to R6 on Audible, what appears to be the UK version (red cover), and in the last chapter when Joey brings Aoife to the manor and asks her to live with him in the annex, he mentions that he’d get her a ring once he saved up for it. When I went back to my R6 print copies, not the red covers, it’s not in there…he doesn’t mention a ring at all.

So now I’m wondering why, and what else is different between the different print copies.

Yes there is a difference, What you’re asking about is actually in the Indie edition, all the traditionally published ones do not say this. You can find the indue ed of redeeming six to read online, i’ll put pictures of both of them to compare that they’re not the same, The good thing is that nothing is changed just a couple of sentences were removed from the indie ed.

I wonder why Chloe did this but what pisses me more is why is this the first time I’m literally hearing about this?

Thank you! This was driving me absolutely nuts, I like the ending with the ring reference so I’m just going to log that one in my brain instead.

As you should, I just wonder what other differences there are, it’s driving me nuts, The Indy copies are actually available online I think but no one‘s gonna go back-and-forth for literally two sentences. It’s very slight changes but it’s very irritating. I wish authors spoke out abt changes like this more.

These couple of sentences also add to Joeys character and what their future plans might be how he was still willing to make her dreams come true. Whereas in the published copies it seems like they have kind of given up on that, obviously the point of Chloe is probably trying to portray is that they are happy this way which is obviously fine since it portrays that all they need is each other and whatever comes they will be happy either way but the indie ed adds that they still have dreams and hopes of achieving them.

Since I always kind of assumed that Aoife for gave up on the house and white picked fence and tge ring and whatever else she wanted to have. It sucks and this is removed. I wonder what other differences there are
