Half an hour later, Ryan arrived. He was speechless when he saw Rodney, who was utterly drunk. “It’s just dinnertime and he’s already this drunk?”
“Maybe he’s in a bad mood. Send him back. ” Mireya had kept listening to Rodney as he talked about the fact that they only slept together once. Her scalp had gone numb. She regretted treating him to a meal.
Ryan glanced at her in astonishment when he heard that. He smiled and said, “I thought you hated him.
Ah, should I help you throw him into the river to feed the fish and get revenge for you?”
“Forget it. Hating someone requires energy too. I don’t want to hate anymore. It’s too tiring and quite pointless as well. Moreover, I don’t want to be the Snow family’s tool.”
Mireya smiled and waved her hand. She turned around and took her bag, preparing to leave.
“Wait, I’ll give you a ride too, ” Ryan called out to her.
“No need. I have something else to do.” Mireya left.
Ryan watched her from behind. His heart was filled with emotion.
Actually, the Snow family’s original intent was to let Mireya vent her anger when Rodney pursued her. When they made up afterward, the baby in her stomach could have a father too. At the same time, Rodney could return to the Snow family again and the Snow family could keep their pride.
However, nobody had asked whether Mireya agreed to it or not.
However, Mireya must be very clear about it too.
She might seem silly, but actually, she understood some things clearly.
A girl like her was so transparent that it strangely made people feel bad for her.
The next day.
It was already late in the morning when Rodney woke up.
He sat up abruptly and realized the place looked familiar. However, he could not remember where he was for a while.
Then, Ryan walked in. “Brother Rodney, you’re awake.”
Rodney was stunned for a few seconds, then he remembered. This was Ryan’s place.
“You finally acknowledge me.” Rodney shot Ryan an icy glare. “You didn’t answer when I called you last time. I even thought you’d never acknowledge me as your cousin again.”
Ryan laughed. “You know I have to obey Grandpa’s words. If Grandpa hadn’t agreed, I wouldn’t be addressing you as my brother either.”
“Agree?”
Rodney was puzzled. “Agree to what?”
“Agree to let you come back to the Snow family. “
Ryan leaned on the cupboard lazily. He folded his arms across his chest.
“Really?” Rodney was delighted. “I knew it. Grandpa still loves me! Everything he said before must’ve been said in a moment of anger…”
“You’re overthinking,” Ryan cut him off. “It’s because Sister Mireya went to the Snow family last night. She requested Grandpa and your parents to let you return to the Snow family. That’s why Grandpa agreed.”
Rodney’s body jolted. He remembered that he had eaten and chatted with Mireya last night. His and Mireya’s relationship had eased a little. However, he did not expect that she would personally go to the Snow family and request his family to let him return.
As he kept thinking about it, he increasingly felt that he had been too merciless in the past.
Frankly speaking, Mireya was a person with a sharp mouth but a soft heart.
She was harsh and mean on the surface, and sometimes, her words were really unpleasant to hear. She and Rodney were like enemies, but in the end, she still helped him.
He lowered his gaze in a daze. He should be delighted, but his heart felt heavy from the pressure.
“By the way, I was having a meal with her last night “You were drunk. She called me to pick you up.” Ryan gazed at Rodney and sighed. “Say, you got so lucky back then but you ruined it yourself. Mireya is such a good woman but you didn’t know how to cherish her.”
“Don’t make it sound like… she was mine from the start, ” Rodney said with complicated feelings, ” She doesn’t even like me.”
“You have a point there. ” Ryan touched his chin. ” Too bad your mom insisted that my dad take her in as a goddaughter. There were a lot of ways to compensate her. Since you didn’t want to marry her, you could’ve let me do it. I don’t mind her being pregnant with a child. Ah, it’s too bad.”
“What nonsense are you spewing?” Rodney was utterly speechless and shocked when he heard Ryan’s words. He felt a twinge of anger too. “Are you crazy? How can two cousins use the same woman? It’ll be a joke if it gets out, okay?”
“What do you mean by ¡®use’? Don’t make it sound so ugly. What happened to you and Mireya was an accident, ” Ryan said lazily, “I don’t mind whether a woman still has her virginity or not as long as I like her.”
“Ryan Snow, Mireya is your sister in name now. Keep your dirty thoughts to yourself, ” Rodney warned angrily.
“Why are you so nervous?” Ryan smiled vaguely. “
You don’t even have any feelings for her. You should be happy that there’s an excellent man who likes her.”
Rodney went silent for a moment from being rebuked and then spoke again, “I’m just afraid that the Snow family will become a joke, okay?
Moreover, Uncle Nathan is about to be the prime minister. Shouldn’t you, as his son, create less trouble for him?”
“I have no problems with my behavior, and I’m more well-behaved than you. You have no right to say those words to me,” Ryan retorted. He was unconvinced.
Rodney let out a hmph. “Anyway, Grandpa will never agree to let you marry a pregnant woman. Your parents won’t allow it either. Don’t make a mess to the point you get chased out of the Snow family like me.”
“Aren’t you coming back now after being chased out? How will you know the results without trying t o fight for something?” Ryan folded his arms across his chest. He looked languid.
“You…” Rodney gritted his teeth speechlessly. It was the first time he realized Rodney was so irritating.
“Let’s go back to the Snow family.” Ryan turned around elegantly.
After Rodney brushed his teeth and washed his face, he changed into Ryan’s clothes and went back to the Snow family’s residence with him.
He was quite nervous during the trip back. However, after he stepped in through the door, he realized that everyone was not ostracizing him that much anymore. He was so touched that tears almost welled up in his eyes.
He knelt on a cushion with a loud thud. “Grandpa, I promise I won’t repeat my previous mistakes. Do you really… agree to let me come back?”
Old Master Snow let out a hmph. ” I didn’t want to agree at first. However, since Mireya made the request and pleaded with me, I can only follow her wishes.”
Although Ryan had told Rodney about it before, Rodney’s heart trembled once again when he heard it from his grandpa’s mouth.
“I won’t say any more. I only agreed because of Mireya. After all, the Snow family owes her. Look out for yourself from now on. Since you’ve ended things with Sarah, don’t contact her anymore in the future. If this happens another time, it’ll be useless even if a king pleads for you.” Old Master Rodney walked away with the aid of his cane after he finished speaking.
Rodney simply knelt there in a daze. He was absent- minded. He could really… come back.
“Get up.” Wendy helped him up.
“Mom…” Rodney gazed at his mother. He felt bitter. “I’m sorry. I’ve made you and Dad worry about me.”
“Since your grandpa said it’s in the past, let it be bygones.” Wendy sighed. There was a trace of regret deep within her eyes. “You haven’t come back for a long time. Go to your room and have a rest.”
“Mom, what exactly did Mireya tell you all?” Rodney could not resist asking.
After a moment of silence, Wendy said, “She suddenly came over last night and said she hoped that your grandpa would agree to let you return to the Snow family. She said you’ve been apologizing to her lately. She said she understood the Snow family’s and your intentions, but she doesn’t want to be tied to you because of the child. The love she yearns for is true love between two people.
“She requested us to consider her feelings and not use every method to make you and her get together. Only the elders would be happy in that case, but both of you, as the people involved, won’t be happy. If we didn’t agree, she’d leave the Snow family and abort the baby.”
Rodney was stunned. He did not expect Mireya to say such words in front of his grandpa. “Was she not afraid that Grandpa would be angry?”
“Your grandpa was slightly angry at first, but he figured it out afterward. Your grandpa is smart. Mireya is smart too. She gave you and the Snow family a way out. Actually, we were too selfish. Back then, we wanted you to pursue Mireya and you could only return to the Snow family after you marry her. One of the reasons was because we wanted to bring both of you together. Secondly, it would indeed be a dishonor to the Snow family if we agreed to let you return after publicly cutting all ties with you.
Therefore, Mireya gave us a way out. Think about it, we were all too much. We didn’t care about her feelings and never asked whether she was willing to or not.”
Wendy patted Rodney’s shoulders. “What she said was right. Some things can’t be forced. You don’t have to pursue her anymore. We know there’s no attraction between you both. You can just treat her as your cousin in the future.”
“… Cousin?” Rodney was dumbfounded. That word made him very uncomfortable.
Ryan laughed and said from the side. “Brother Rodney, you must be quite happy now, right?”
What was there for him to be f*cking happy about?.
