Mireya raised her head and glanced at him indifferently. She thought he was an eyesore. As Heidi and Nathan were not here, she did not want to pretend anymore.
“Dani, did you miss me…”
Ryan reached out to touch Dani’s little face, but Mireya quickly carried Dani away and avoided his hand.
“What are you doing?” Ryan raised his eyebrows.
Mireya did not look up. She simply said sarcastically, “Has Miss Wright gone back already? I thought you’d ask her to stay the night.”
“No way.” Ryan sat beside her and crossed his legs lazily. ” Summer is a proper lady. She’s not some casual woman. Even if she does spend the night here, my mom will arrange for her to stay in the guest room in the official residence. How could she stay at my place?”
Mireya smiled. “Oh yes, Summer isn’t just some casual woman.”
She was the casual one. She simply let Ryan kiss her multiple times.
As he said before, he did not need to take responsibility after kissing her.
Mireya did not think it was a big deal in the past, but she could not stand Ryan the more she thought about it.
It just so happened that Dani had finished her milk. Mireya put down the milk bottle and said, ” It seems like you’re getting along well with Miss Wright. But I hope you won’t use Dani as a tool to please women next time.”
“What do you mean?” Ryan was taken aback. He glanced at her teasingly. However, Mireya had her head lowered, so she did not see his gaze at all.
“You know perfectly well what I mean.” Mireya lowered her voice. She did not want the maids in the house to hear her voice.
“Are you talking about me carrying Dani over to Summer during the meal?” Ryan raised his eyebrows. “Do you have to mind this? When did you become so petty?”
In an instant, Mireya was like a bomb that was ignited. She got angry. “I am petty. Did you only find out today?”
She carried Dani and stood up. She could not even act rationally now. “If you like children so much, you can have one with Miss Wright yourself.”
Ryan’s hands rested lazily on the sofa. He raised his handsome face and frowned. “Does this mean I’m not even allowed to hug Dani in the future?”
“… As you wish.”
After saying that, Mireya went upstairs straight away.
Ryan’s eyelashes drooped after hearing the sound of the door closing upstairs. He stood up and left.
In the bedroom, Mireya leaned against the wall. She was frustrated and wanted to bury herself in the blanket.
She was done for. Was she too rash just now? Would the words she said make her seem very petty?
Would Ryan be unwilling to carry Dani in the future?
Ryan was most probably furious. After all, it looked like he liked Summer a lot.
When on earth could Mireya move out of the official residence?
Staying here was too awkward for her.
As she wanted to avoid feeling awkward, she did not go to the main courtyard for breakfast the next day. After washing up, she drove to the company.
9:00 a.m.
Cate saw a spiritless silhouette as soon as she entered the office.
“Cate, you’re here. I want to consult you about something.” Mireya raised her head unhappily. “Can you help me analyze whether I was being too much?”
“Tell me about it.” Cate took a bag of coffee beans from the drawer. Her every movement exuded the elegance and charm of a woman.
“Ryan brought his blind date back to the official residence last night. That woman said Dani was adorable, so Ryan quickly asked for Dani from me to please that woman. ” Mireya’s brows were knitted into a tight frown due to her annoyance. “Dani doesn’t even know that woman, and she’s not a tool to please women. Besides, children have weak immunity. Who knows if Dani will get germs on her if strangers were to carry her…”
Cate was stunned. She poured the coffee beans into the coffee grinder. Then, she raised her head and glanced at Mireya’s expression. Her heart skipped a beat.
Okay, the thing that she was most worried about had happened.
However, Mireya herself did not notice it at all.
Of course, she might have sensed it, but it was obvious that she could not accept the truth.
The aroma of coffee wafted in the air.
Mireya said in a low voice, “My words were slightly harsh last night, and I think they made me seem like a petty person. Actually, it’s not that I’m not allowing Ryan to hold Dani and play. Dani usually has a lot of fun playing with him. However, I think he’s angry. Do you think I should apologize to him? Ryan’s definitely angry. Usually when I don’t go to the main courtyard for breakfast, he’d surely send me a message to ask me about it.”
“Mireya, the official residence isn’t a place where just anybody can enter. Those who can go in will at least have to go through a body check and all sorts of disinfection. Besides, you’re not a petty person. When you brought Dani to the Lyons family’s manor in the past, you never had any complaints when some relatives of the Lyons family carried Dani.”
Cate watched the coffee that was brewing. Her gaze gradually turned resigned and sharp. “Have you ever thought that… you’re not being petty?
You’re just… jealous.”
“Huh?”
Mireya looked as if she had heard a joke. She stood up agitatedly. “How could I be jealous? I treat Ryan as a family member. I…”
When her gaze met Cate’s dark, sharp eyes, her words were stuck in her throat. “Maybe… Okay, I might be a little jealous. After all, Ryan used to be on good terms with me before. When a close friend abandons you to go date someone else, anyone would be slightly dissatisfied.”
“Only ¡®slightly dissatisfied’? Are you sure you’re not very, very, dissatisfied?” Cate curved her red lips teasingly.
Mireya was about to go crazy. Why did she come over to discuss this with Cate?
“Forget it. I can’t talk to you anymore. I suddenly remembered there are some things to do at the laboratory.” Mireya lowered her head and walked toward the door.
“Mireya, it’s not like you’ve never been in a relationship before. Whether it’s a habit, reliance, or love, can’t you sense it yourself?” Cate said behind her, “Look at you during these two days.
You were listless whenever you had lunch with me. You even looked at your phone frequently. That’s precisely the look of someone waiting for another person’s message. You were like that when you dated Patrick in the past.”
“Say no more. ” Mireya’s pretty face paled. “There’s no way I’m in love with Ryan. Look at his identity, and look at mine. I’m his godsister.”
“You two aren’t blood-related anyway. You guys live in the same place. You meet each other every morning and night. When you two can’t meet each other, you’re always chatting with him. He treats you so well. Now that an unfamiliar woman showed up all of a sudden, you realized that he’d humor another woman and make her laugh as well. The kindness he showed you in the past is all being given to another woman now. You’re just uncomfortable with it.”
Was it like that?
Was Mireya uncomfortable?
Was it like that?
If not, why did she feel discontent when she saw Ryan placing Summer’s favorite dishes in front of her and shelling the mantis shrimps for her last night? She did not even have an appetite.
Was she simply not used to it? Was it because she did not want Ryan to treat other people so kindly?
Mireya realized she could not continue thinking about it.
Gosh, how did things turn out like this?
“Cate, it must be because Ryan has been appearing too frequently in my life these days. Maybe it won’t be this way if I interact with other wonderful guys. Didn’t you say you’d ask Shaun to look for some good guys for me? Quick, introduce one or two of them to me, ” Mireya said desperately.
Cate smiled bitterly. “Didn’t the prime minister’s wife introduce three excellent men to you? To be honest, those three guys weren’t bad. They’re single, decent-looking men who come from good families and have a promising future.
Yet, you didn’t fancy any of them. Tell me. Where can I find better men for you? There may be very handsome guys, but they might not be reliable, while those with good personalities might not look good.”
“Am I that picky?” Only then did Mireya realize that problem.
“You’re not picky.” Cate told her the truth, ” It’s just that when you have better options before, those who come after will pale in comparison. Do you understand that? With Ryan being a benchmark, your eye for men will only get stricter. But where can I find someone like Ryan who’s rich, handsome, from a prominent family, gentlemanly, elegant, humorous, romantic, wise, and calm? Even if I give Shaun to you, you might not fancy him.”
Mireya was speechless for some time. The corners of her mouth twitched, and she said, “If Shaun heard what you said, he’d be very sad.”
“I’m only telling the truth.” Cate held her coffee and blew on it while smiling.
“Okay.” Mireya pouted. “Your Shaun is too reserved. I can’t handle him.”
“Exactly. You can’t even accept men who are reserved.” Cate laughed. “In that case, tell me where I can find other men for you?”
