She walked into the convenience store to buy a packet of cigarettes.
She had never smoked, but she felt like trying it now.
When she lit a cigarette and took a drag of it, she coughed until tears came out of her eyes.
It was terrible.
Just now, she told Cate that she had survived all those experiences. However, she did not add that those experiences had been miserable for her.
As the eldest young lady of the Lynch family, why was she living this kind of life?
In the past, she just wished to live an ordinary life with a good-looking, capable man who loved her.
It did not matter if he was not rich.
All she wanted was a happy family just like what her parents gave her, but why was this so difficult?
“Mireya, are you crazy? Why are you smoking alone here?”
A man came from behind. He grabbed the cigarette from her hand and tossed it on the ground. Then, he stepped on it to put it out.
Mireya remained still.
Feeling helpless, Ryan pulled her up. He froze the moment he saw the tears on her face.
He was passing by this area to deal with something. He happened to feel thirsty, so he came to the convenience store to buy some water. He spotted her squatting at the roadside, but he did not expect that…
“What’s wrong with you? ” As he held her up, he recalled the matter that she asked him to investigate earlier. “Is it because Rodney bullied you?”
“Leave me alone. I want to have some quiet time.” Mireya did not move nor look at him.
She really did not want to see anyone from the Snow family.
Ryan pursed his sharp, thin lips.
As far as Ryan knew, Mireya had always been an optimistic, bubbly woman. Every time she smiled, her eyes would glow.
He had always liked the glow in her eyes.
However, the glow in her eyes had vanished now. He was exasperated too, not at her but Rodney.
“Let’s go. I’m going to take you to meet him. I’ll stand up for you.” Ryan clutched her hand.
“Let go of me.”
After struggling for a long time, she still failed to break free from his grip. She flew into a rage and began to roar with tears, “I’m asking you to let go o f me. Can’t you hear me? What’s the point of taking me to meet him? You’re also a part of the Snow family. On the surface, you might seem like you’re helping me, but in fact, you’re defending him.
Otherwise, why did you guys switch my contraceptive pills to force me to get pregnant and marry him? Rodney is awful, but why must I save him by sacrificing my happiness? You guys don’t even know that I’ve never had the intention of being the daughter of the prime minister.”
Ryan stopped moving with his deep gaze fixed on her.
All of a sudden, Mireya seemed to have exploded as her tears started rolling down her face uncontrollably. “It might sound great to be the prime minister’s goddaughter, but everyone knows why the Snow family acknowledged me as their goddaughter. It’s only because Rodney didn’t want to marry me and you guys took pity on me. Deep down, who doesn’t look down on me?
“I’d rather give up everything, including my status as the prime minister’s goddaughter. I just want to be an ordinary person. I’m really fed up with Rodney, that dumb*ss.
“How I wish he could die.” Her eyes revealed hatred.
Ryan’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He did not utter a word.
He let her cry her heart out before wrapping her tightly into his arms.
He patted her head softly.
“Alright. I understand everything. If you want to cry, just cry out loud. If you don’t want to be with Rodney, just divorce him.”
“Divorce?” Mireya had the urge to weep even more bitterly. “Will the Snows easily approve of me divorcing him? Even if I can get a divorce, will you guys allow Dani to stay with me? I just want her. I don’t mind losing my status as the prime minister’s goddaughter or anything else. All I want to do is leave quietly.”
“Alright. I’ll help you,” Ryan said.
Mireya’s breathing hitched. She even stopped crying for a moment. “I don’t buy that. You must be lying to me.”
“Why would I lie to you? You’re the prime minister’s goddaughter. Of course, you have the right to divorce your husband, ” Ryan answered with a deep voice.
At this moment, Mireya pushed Ryan away at once. She stared at Ryan’s elegant, handsome face in bewilderment. “What kind of goddaughter am I? Everyone looks down on me. Plus, your parents dislike me. The Snow family acknowledged me as their goddaughter all because of Rodney…”
“Since when do my parents dislike you? They often say that it’s rare to find women like you. They say that Rodney is blessed to be able to marry you. My parents are regretful that they didn’t give birth to a daughter back then.” Ryan took a tissue and gently wiped the tears off her face.
Upon hearing his words, Mireya nearly forgot to react. “You’re lying.”
” I’m not. Perhaps you think that you became my parents’ goddaughter all because of Rodney. They don’t know you well enough, so they seldom visit the prime minister’s office.” Ryan’s gaze was indulgent. “Now, can you tell me what on earth happened? I remember telling you that you can always look for me in Canberra. I’ll help you with anything.”
“But you’re Rodney’s— “
“Technically, you’re my godsister,” Rodney teased. “I’m not your biological sister.” Mireya’s mouth twitched.
Ryan’s eyes lingered on her curled lips for a while. ” Rodney and I aren’t biological brothers either. Also, do I look like the sort who can’t differentiate right from wrong?”
Mireya instantly went silent. She was not very clear about Ryan’s character. She had always perceived the Snows as people of great depth, especially Nathan’s family. As the prime minister’s son, how could he possibly be simple?
“However, you’re right. The Snows surely won’t want you to divorce Rodney. Moreover, news about your wedding has circulated. If you decide to get a divorce all of a sudden, the Snows will feel ashamed. Having said that, you can discuss the matter with me first. Once you’re definite about the divorce, I’ll persuade my parents and grandfather, ” Ryan said patiently.
Mireya fixed her confused gaze at the man, who was a few months younger than her.
He looked young, elegant, and handsome. Dressed in a black jacket, he behaved humbly and kept a low profile.
Sure enough, he was a leader in an organization. The calm aura that he exuded was rather convincing.
Of course, she could not deny that it could be due to his good looks.
She had always admired people with good looks. Otherwise, she would not have fallen for Patrick during her university days. She would not have been easily moved by Rodney’s words later on either.
“Earlier, I asked you to investigate whether Rodney was talking business. Only today did I find out that he was with Sarah that night. He’s secretly hiding her. He always visits her, and he even stayed at her place until late at night yesterday.”
She explained in misery.
As a woman, telling someone else that her husband was cheating on her with his first love was indeed embarrassing.
Ryan was stunned. “Are you sure?”
” I just came from Sarah’s place. Rodney was afraid that I would hurt his darling, so he hurriedly got some people to protect her. ” Mireya snorted. “When I left, he was hugging Sarah tightly.”
“My cousin is really incurable.”
Ryan’s usually gentle eyes were filled with disappointment and fury. Before this, Ryan used his identity as Rodney’s love rival to provoke him for Dani’s sake.
If he had known that this would happen, he would have gotten Rodney and Mireya to divorce.
Furthermore, Rodney and Ryan’s parents were both loving couples. No one in the Snow family ever had a kept man or woman. However, Rodney was already having an affair with Sarah when he had just gotten married and his child was still young.
He had the audacity to approach Sarah despite her character.
“If that’s the case, I see why you want to divorce him. Regardless of whether he’ll learn from his mistakes, he shouldn’t trap you in this marriage and keep you waiting.”
Ryan said indifferently, “Also, you’ re always the one who reminds him to mend his ways. Legally speaking, both of you are a couple but aren’t related by blood.”
His tone was cold.
After listening to him, she somehow felt her eyes burning.
She did not believe in Ryan previously, but she did now.
She believed that he was taking her side.
