Let's Get Married

Chapter 594: What a Bold Woman

When Ryan goes back into his room, Adair is still asleep, but he is awake by Ryan when he comes in. He frowns and looks at Ryan, “Ryan?”

It is a curious look. Adair is wondering why Ryan is standing there in this early hour.

This is the first time in Ryan's life that he feels so confused. Everything is so messed up that none of it is logical. The scattered pieces from last night and this morning combine and turn into a picture of Eunice’s red and swollen eyes.

Ryan pulls open the mini-fridge and chugs the whole bottle of water down his throat. However, he doesn’t feel better after that. Instead, he feels worse.

Ryan then puts the water bottle on the table. He sees a red wine bottle sitting at aside, and he becomes angrier. Ryan reseals the wine bottle with a cork then makes a call to his henchman.

“Help me to check who is involved in the whole process of sending me the wine last night.”

After ending the call, Ryan throws the wine bottle into the bin. But too bad, he couldn’t throw what’s bothering him into the bin as well.

Adair realizes that Ryan is in a bad mood. He sits up from the bed and walks towards Ryan in the hotel slippers. Adair holds Ryan’s hand and asks, “What is going on, Ryan?”

Adair’s eyes are filled with worries. Ryan lowers his body and strokes Adair's hair, “It’s fine. Go and freshen up. We are going out for breakfast.”

Ryan doesn’t want the negative vibes to affect Adair. He tries his best to control himself.

Adair is thoughtful as well. He asks no more question and heads straight into the bathroom.

Without the kid in the room, Ryan opens the window. He takes a cigarette out from the drawer and lights it up. The tingling smoke enters into his body and clears his mind at the same time.

Looking at the misty seafront and the city view, Ryan just couldn’t forget Eunice’s face this morning.

The cigarette is finished before Ryan realizes. Ryan only gets out from his thoughts after Adair gets dressed and calls his name.

He puts out the cigarette in the crystal ashtray. He then waves his hand to get rid of the smokes in the air and walks into the bathroom.

It is never about Mysophobia or anything. All he wants is to wash away her scent on him.

It’s not that he doesn’t like it but it is too distracting for him when he could feel her all the time.

Ryan takes off his shirt in the bathroom. He looks at the scars on his shoulders and stomach for a while then walks under the showerhead. He adjusts the temperature to icy cold and lets this cold water drip on his skin.

Ryan is usually fast in the shower. This time, he spends a good 15 minutes in the bathroom. He baths with only cold water without any shampoo, hoping the cold water could help him to gain some sense back.

But this has happened after all. It doesn’t matter what the reasons are or how it is ended. It never changes the process. There is a question bothering him since he wakes up this morning. He couldn’t help but keep thinking about it.

Ryan is wondering that although he was drugged last night, will he do the same thing he did to Eunice if he enters into some other woman’s room.

The answer is, no.

Although he is under the influence of the drugs, he is sober the moment she steps into the room. He tries to control himself, but when he sees her and when she lays under him, all his self-control breaks loose.

Ryan slept with Eunice. It is not all because of the drugs, his desire underneath is also one of the factors.

This morning when Ryan sees Eunice sleeping beside him, he feels surprised. Other than that, he doubts himself. He can’t believe that he could accept another woman other than Lily, and everything escalated so quickly.

Ryan would never admit that he has feelings for Eunice before what happened last night.

But now? It seems like he is too dumb and has underestimated what Eunice meant for him.

Because even when he is bathing under the ice-cold water, Ryan could still remember how she looked under him last night. He could still feel the heat!

Ryan suddenly understands what his heart wants. He just has to admit what he has been avoiding.

After 15 minutes, both Ryan and Adair are neatly dressed. Ryan holds Adair’s hand and walks out of the room. They then stop in front of the room next door. It seems like Ryan has made up his mind. He raises his hand and press on the doorbell. However, no one comes answering the door after a few attempts.

Ryan’s brows furrow. He has a bad feeling about it. He takes the spare key out of his pocket and enters into the card slot.

The door opens. Ryan enters the room. The curtains are tightly closed, but there are still some lights in the room. The blanket and the side tables, everything is exactly the same as when he left the room.

The only difference is that there is a shirt in the bin.

It is the one he tore last night.

Ryan seems uneasy. He walks around in the room, but he couldn’t find the person he is looking for.

He stands exactly on the same spot where she confesses her affection, but now it is just an empty space. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Eunice left?

Ryan couldn’t even bother to get angry. He quickly searches for her number on his mobile phone and dials her number. However, all he hears is a cold and emotionless machine voice.

“The person you call is unavailable. Please try…”

Before he could finish hearing the message from the operator, he gets furious and throws his phone onto the bed. “Shit!”

Adair looking at Ryan being restless and he realizes Eunice’s absence. Although Adair is young, he could see and understands many things so clearly.

Was there a quarrel between Ryan and Eunice?

Adair walks towards Ryan. He looks at Ryan's phone on the bed and comforts Ryan, “Ryan, Eunice likes me a lot. Why not try texting her?”

“Text? She couldn’t see it. She has turned off her phone,” Ryan sits on the couch beside the bed. He feels frustrated and defeated.

This is the first time he feels so defeated in his life.

Just because he ignored her confession this morning, she did the same to him to let him feel what she feels? Ryan knows Eunice has strong self-esteem all along, but he didn’t know this could be used against him.

Did he run away after sleeping with her?

No, it is the exact opposite. It’s that bold woman who runs away after sleeping with him! Ryan smirks.
