“Even if you and Uncle agree on our divorce, it’s no use. Mireya won’t be able to do anything if I disagree. My parents and grandpa won’t agree as well.”
Rodney was not in the mood to carry on with the conversation. ” I’m going to discuss it with Mireya.”
However, the two bodyguards in front stopped him.
“Go back and calm yourself down. The Lodge isn’t a place for you to kick up a fuss.” Although Heidi’s tone was gentle, her eyes were fierce.
After glancing around for a moment, he turned around and left in a huff.
Ryan walked down the stairs from the second floor with his hand on the handrail. “Mom, was what I said right? He’s hopeless.”
Heidi sighed in despair. “If he weren’t your cousin, I wouldn’t have explained to him so patiently. I really have no idea when he became like this.
Although he was naughty when he was young, he would listen to reason.”
“He has been behaving like this ever since he fell for Sarah. ” Ryan let out a sigh. ” I’m going to the back to see if Mireya needs anything.”
“Mm.” Heidi nodded before she said pathetically, ” She’s quite pitiful. You should give her some advice.”
After nodding, Ryan headed to the courtyard behind.
There were over ten buildings in the prime minister’s residence.
The front courtyard was Nathan’s workplace, whereas the back courtyard was for his family to reside.
The residence was spacious, with three gardens and two lakes. Mireya’s building happened to be close to the lake.
The moment Ryan arrived at the door, he heard Dani crying.
Mireya soothed the child while carrying her in her arms. Beside her was Aunty Loretta, a sitter who was newly hired by The Lodge.
“Now that we’ve moved to a new place, Dani might not be used to waking up here, ” Mireya said helplessly. “What’s more, she just met Aunty Loretta today. But she’ll be fine in a few days.”
Ryan looked at the child, whom he had seen twice in the Snow family’s residence, and noticed a huge change in her. She was now like a doughnut, extremely adorable.
However, at the thought that her parents were getting a divorce, he felt for her.
In truth, the child would be the one suffering.
As her father, Rodney’s behavior was too immature.
Back when Mireya was pregnant, he wanted her to abort the child for the sake of Sarah. Now that the child was born, he was still thinking about Sarah.
Amid his thoughts, Ryan stretched out his hands. ” Come, let me hold her.”
“Do you know how to hold her?” Mireya looked doubtful. Her dark eyes were filled with distrust.
Ryan found it funny. “What do you mean? I have a nephew who was very fond of me when he was younger. I always held him.”
Initially, Mireya did not want to pass the bawling Dani to Ryan, but who knew Dani would take the initiative to approach him after he reached out to her.
Mireya was speechless.
“Look. Even Dani wants me to hold her. Your daughter might be young, but she has good taste. She knows I’m handsome.”
Ryan smiled smugly and held Dani in his arms. After sitting down, he took out a yo-yo from his trousers’ pocket and played with it in front of Dani.
“Look, Dani. Do you like it?”
Dani widened her eyes and stopped crying after a while. She even started laughing.
Mireya was dumbfounded.
Dani stopped crying, just like that?
It usually took a long time to soothe this little princess at home.
Aunty Loretta said with a grin, “Young Master is the best, to have had the ability to attract kids since he was young.”
Upon noticing Mireya’s confused expression, Aunty Loretta said, “Madam’s relatives always bring the kids over here to play, and the kids love playing with Young Master the most. Young Master is very patient with them. If I were to deal with those little devils, I’d feel troubled.”
Mireya was filled with mixed feelings as it was her first time seeing this side of Ryan.
“Are you very fond of kids?” She could not help but say, ” In fact, you’re not young anymore. You can get a girlfriend and have a child.”
Ryan gave a vague smile. “Why are you behaving like my mom? I’m not even at the age where I need to get married.”
Mireya thought about it and reckoned that he was right. After all, he was a few months younger than her.
She was 26 this year. It was appropriate for women of this age in Canberra to get married, let alone men. It would not be an issue for them to get married even at the age of 30.
“But you can get a girlfriend.” Mireya said jokingly, ” That said, I’ve known you for nearly a year, but I don’t see you have a girlfriend yet. Could it be that you’re gay?”
Ryan’s mouth twitched. “What logic is that? I’m gay if I don’t have a girlfriend, huh? If women like you don’t have a boyfriend, does it mean you’re a lesbian?”
“Hehe. I’m just kidding.” Mireya was somehow amused to see his speechless expression. ” I think the best age is between 20 to 30 years old. This is when we have the most freedom. When it’s time to get into a relationship, just do it. Don’t miss out on your best years! “
After that, she sighed. “On the other hand, I’ve wasted mine.”
“20 to 30 years old… You still have a few more years to go.” A discreet smile spread across Ryan’s face. ” Quickly get a divorce and start a new relationship. Make use of your youth before it’s gone.”
“Women aren’t the same as men.” Mireya shook her head and said rather pessimistically, “My love life has been difficult. Since I always meet scummy men, I don’t believe in love anymore.”
“You don’t have to be so pessimistic. Maybe the best is yet to come,” Ryan said thoughtfully.
“I don’t believe it.” Mireya looked dejected. “All I want to do from now on is raise Dani. I don’t dare to get married again.”
“Don’t be like this. When it’s time to get married, just do it.”
Ryan hinted at her. “Think about it. Your first relationship failed because you were too young and ignorant of the harsh reality. Not many relationships that started at college would last.
Then, you ended up marrying Rodney only by force. After giving birth to Dani, you continued with the marriage for her sake. I believe that with my observation and your careful consideration, your next relationship will be alright.”
Mireya was dumbfounded by his words. “You’re persuading me to get into another relationship when I haven’t even gotten a divorce?”
A gentle smile flitted across Ryan’s face. “A new relationship will help you get over your trauma. “
Mireya blinked. No matter how well he said it, she was still afraid of men.
Hence, she changed the topic. “I’m going to the Snow family’s tomorrow to discuss my divorce.”
“My mom and I will accompany you there.” Before she could speak further, Ryan interrupted her, “My mom has to be there, or it’ll be difficult to solve the issue.”
Mireya was stunned. “Why is she treating me so well? I…”
“After having me, my mom accidentally got pregnant again. According to the ultrasound report, it was a girl, but she had a miscarriage shortly after. The doctor then said that it’s hard for her to get pregnant again, ” Ryan said helplessly. “After acknowledging you as her goddaughter , she feels like she has an affinity with you.”
“I see.”
Mireya got the picture.
That night, she finally had a good sleep at The Lodge.
After leaving the villa, she felt as though she and Rodney were miles apart.
The next day, she went to the Snow family’s old residence with Heidi and Ryan by car.
As soon as the car was parked, Rodney scrambled over.
He was so worried that he did not sleep the entire night. With his unshaven face, he looked very disheveled.
“Mireya, you’re here…”
