“Ryan isn’t that good, okay?” Mireya bit her lip discontentedly.
“Maybe. But whether he’s good or not, you’re the one who knows best. ” Cate pushed a cup of coffee over. “Do you want some?”
“No. My life is bitter enough. I don’t want my mouth to be bitter too.” Mireya left with a frown, feeling distraught.
Cate sighed once Mireya had left.
It seemed that her best friend’s love journey was rougher than hers.
In the office, Mireya was reading the pile of data on the table for a long time. However, she could not process a single word of it at all.
“Manager Lynch, here’s your delivery…”
Her secretary’s voice came from outside the door.
Mireya’s eyes lit up. Whenever she fought with Ryan in the past, he would always send her delicious food over to apologize. It had got to be that. “What good food is it?”
She stood up in a hurry.
The secretary was taken aback. “Food? I don’t think so. It should be the phone cover you purchased online last time.”
“…Oh.”
The light in Mireya’s eyes dimmed.
After glancing at Mireya weirdly, the secretary quickly put down the parcel and left.
Mireya was in no mood to open the parcel on the table. She took out her phone and sent a message to Ryan first. [Are you still angry?]
Mireya: [I spoke a little too much last night. I’m sorry.]
She waited and waited until after an hour, Ryan replied nonchalantly. [It’s okay. I’m not angry anymore.]
What an indifferent reply.
Mireya got even more irritated. [If you’re not angry, why did your reply come so late?]
Ryan: [Oh, I was in the middle of a call with Summer.]
“….”
Summer. It was Summer again.
Mireya was exasperated.
She threw her phone aside angrily and did not want to talk to Ryan at all.
Ryan sent a reply message: [Why aren’t you replying?]
Mireya sneered.
She sent him a message, and he only replied after an hour. Yet when she did not reply, he immediately came and asked her about it. Why did he not think about how long he had made her wait?
Mireya: [Because I don’t want to disturb your call with Summer.]
Ryan: [We’ve ended the call.]
Mireya: [Oh, no wonder Young Master Snow finally has the mood to talk to me.]
Ryan: [Why are you being sarcastic?]
Mireya: [I just can’t stand a certain someone who prioritizes love more than friends.]
Ryan: [You can’t possibly be talking about me, right?]
Mireya: [Haha. When I was with my blind date, I always replied to your messages first. I even abandoned my blind date to watch a movie with you on Christmas night. But what about you? You seem to have completely forgotten about me now that you have a girlfriend.]
Ryan: [I don’t have a girlfriend.]
Mireya: [Hah! You already brought her back to meet your parents. She’ll be your girlfriend soon. Besides, I wasn’t blind last night. I saw you two were being lovey-dovey.]
Five minutes later, Ryan sent over a long message: [That’s true. Summer and I might be officially dating each other soon. Mireya, you’re clear about how much the previous scandal had impacted me. My parents are forcing me to get married, and I need a marriage partner too. Summer is a nice lady. If I get married next year, I’ll surely have to divide part of my attention to my wife and children…]
Mireya read the long message in a daze.
She understood what Ryan meant. If he were to get married next year, he would not be able to exchange messages with her, eat out with her, watch movies with her, or go on a walk with Dani as often as before.
She would be alone again in the future.
Being alone was no big deal.
Had she not prepared herself mentally for it when she divorced Rodney?
However, why would the thought of Ryan accompanying his future wife and children make her heart feel so empty?
She still wanted him to be with her like before.
Nevertheless, Mireya knew it was impossible, just like how it would be for her biological brother, Forrest. Once he got married and had his own family, he would give most of his time to his wife and children in the future after getting married and having children.
She would be happy for her brother to build a family and career of his own even though it meant he had to abandon her. However, she was not happy if Ryan abandoned her. On the contrary, she was flustered, afraid, unwilling, and wistful.
What was wrong with her?
Was she crazy?
After a long while, Mireya replied: [Oh, okay.]
She would not disturb him as she did in the past anymore.
For the next few days, Mireya did not see Ryan when she returned to The Lodge. However, she did hear Heidi and Nathan talking about Ryan’s matters during mealtimes.
“Do you think Ryan’s place should be refurbished?” Heidi said excitedly, “If Summer joins our family, she might not like Ryan’s bedroom because it looks too cold. Girls like warm tones.”
“Alright. But where will Ryan stay if his place is under renovation?”
“He can stay in the guest room or our building. The Lodge is so big. Will we ever run out of rooms?” Heidi grinned. “Isn’t that right, Mireya?”
“Oh! Um, yes,” Mireya replied with her head low.
“Child, you haven’t been talking much recently. Are you feeling down?” Heidi asked out of concern.
“I’m just thinking about our company’s celebration this year.” Mireya forced a smile. “Freycatheli’s sales has made it to one of the top three in Australia this year, so the company is hosting a celebration tomorrow night. There are quite a few things to sort out.”
“That’s great. Freycatheli is getting better and better. The last time I went to a banquet, a few madams had mentioned you, and they were full of praise. I felt honored because of you,” Heidi said with a smile.
Mireya nodded in agreement. “By the way, Godmother, our company will be starting our annual leave next week. I’m thinking of bringing Dani back to Melbourne.”
Heidi gave the idea some thought before nodding. “That’s good. You should spend more time with your parents. I’ll inform the Snow family for you. You can bring Dani over to visit Old Master Snow once you’re back.”
“Thank you, Godmother.”
Mireya let out a breath of relief.
Although Heidi and Nathan had always been kind to her, The Lodge had been so stressful lately that she felt suffocated.
She wanted to live in a place without Ryan for some time.
Perhaps upon returning, she would feel the same as when she got a divorce ¨C calm and indifferent.
….
The next day, during the grand celebration of Freycatheli.
