“I will.”
Ryan nodded and returned to his place. When he took his phone and had a look, there were many missed calls. Two of them were from Mireya.
His fingers got slightly nervous.
His gaze fell on the string of numbers. After a long time, he sent a message: [Are you asleep?]
A minute later, Mireya immediately called him.
He rubbed the middle of his brows nervously. After picking up the call, the call connected. However, there was no sound of anyone speaking.
“…Didn’t you see my Facebook post?” Mireya asked in a low voice all of a sudden.
“Mm?” Ryan was stunned. “No, I’ve been handling matters this whole time. What did you post?”
Mireya bit her lip. She said, “Can’t you see for yourself?”
After she spoke, she hung up.
It was mainly because she was embarrassed, nervous, and shy.
That feeling was similar to back when they had just confirmed their relationship.
Mireya was overwhelmed with emotions when she called Ryan earlier. She had many things she wanted to tell him. After the call connected, though, it was as if she became mute.
Ryan was stunned. He immediately tapped into Facebook. He saw the post she shared with the caption: [We’re in a relationship. I wasn’t brave enough in the past, but in the future, I’ll do my best for you.]
There were not many words.
However, it was indeed what he wanted to see the most.
Ryan smirked.
He said he was willing to walk 99 steps toward her before. As long as she took one step, he would be delighted.
He was satisfied that she went along with him after publicly announcing their relationship.
Moreover, she said she would work hard for him.
That was enough.
Ryan entered Whatsapp. He asked her: [Are you really not angry anymore? I’m a little worried.]
Mireya: [Hmph. You’re worried, yet you still announced our relationship without a word. That’s too much. You didn’t even inform me about it.]
Ryan: [I was afraid you’d hesitate if I told you. You’re too timid. Besides… I could see that you had thoughts about backing out in the morning. I was scared you’d leave. After announcing our relationship, you won’t be able to leave me for some time.]
Mireya: [Despicable guy.]
Ryan: [I admit to everything.]
Mireya: [But I really like you, you despicable man. I like you, and I love you.]
The short message made Ryan stunned. His heart started beating intensely and quickly.
Mireya: [Would you be thinking of kissing me if I were in front of you?]
Ryan: [You got me. Yes, I want to kiss you so badly and wrap you in my arms.]
Mireya: [Look for me tomorrow. I’ll let you kiss me all you want.]
After she spoke, she sent a few kissing emojis.
Ryan’s blood boiled in the middle of the night. If it were not for him needing to write a resignation letter later, he desperately wished to run to her side.
Ryan sent an emoji that was laughing bitterly. [Little seductress, are you trying to make me lose sleep tonight?]
Mireya: [I won’t be able to sleep anyway. Who told you to announce our relationship with such touching words? I was truly moved. Ryan, I’m ordering you, you have to always treat me this well and love me for a lifetime. Do you get it? I’m taking it seriously because I’ve fallen deeply in love with you. If you dare betray me in the future, I won’t let you off easily. I’ll definitely keep clinging to you and ruin you. I won’t be able to take it if you don’t love me anymore.
[I’ve never loved someone this much.]
Ryan took a deep breath. He took a screenshot of her words and saved it. He wanted to treasure it for the rest of his life. He could look at it repeatedly after he got older. [I won’t. I’ll always be here until the day you’re willing to get married to me.]
Ryan: [Babe, go to sleep. I’ll look for you tomorrow.]
Mireya: [When are you coming over? I want to see you in the morning.]
Ryan: [I can’t make it in the morning. After making our relationship open, there are still many matters to handle.]
Mireya: [Alright, then. Good night.]
Ryan: [Good night. I love you.]
Mireya: [I love you too!]
Ryan lay down on the bed. He placed his hands behind the back of his head. His lips were curved into a big smile.
At that moment, his heart was like a teenager’s.
It was filled with anticipation for the future.
Then, a sudden ring of the phone broke the tranquility of that moment.
It was Jessica who called. “You didn’t pick up my calls. You must be pretty busy.”
“That’s right. I was discussing some stuff with my parents just now.” Ryan sat up in a hurry. He just remembered there was a missed call from Jessica just now. He forgot to return her call.
“You’re quite amazing to announce your relationship all of a sudden. The entire Snow family is shocked now. Many relatives called me to ask me about it.” Jessica laughed bitterly. She truly admired Ryan’s courage. If only she had ten percent of Ryan’s courage when it came to relationships, she would not have…
“Jessica, you know me. I’ve always been serious about feelings.” Ryan smiled. “Moreover, Mireya didn’t blame me. She’s pretty happy too.”
“What you wrote was so heartfelt. It’s impossible for any woman to feel angry.” Jessica teased him. “You brat. I never saw you date around, but you sure have lots of tricks for wooing women.”
“Haha, do you need me to teach you some?”
Jessica chuckled. “Forget it. I’m not a man. Let’s get down to business. I found Rodney’s location. He’s… at Minister O’Connell’s place.”
“…As expected.” Ryan stopped smiling. His handsome face was cold. “Luckily, I made a move earlier.”
Although Jessica did not want to admit it, she still said, “It seems like they called the president of a media company over for a meal. That president must’ve already ordered his employees to prepare to announce your and Mireya’s relationship. However, your statement must’ve caught them all off guard.”
¨C “Fortunately…”
Ryan’s dark eyes flashed with grimness.
Fortunately, Ryan did not let his guard down just because Rodney was the cousin he grew up with.
Facts had proven that people changed.
To put it another way, everyone had a dark side. What it all came down to was whether they were willing to expose it.
Jessica grasped Ryan’s meaning. Luckily, he got a head start. “Ryan, I really didn’t expect Rodney to betray the entire Snow family. We’ve never owed him either.”
“Jessica, everyone has a different mindset. Sometimes, no matter how much you hate the Snow family, they’re the ones who brought you into this world and nurtured you. Also, they provided you with an excellent life and a noble identity. Therefore, you have the responsibility to return the favor to the Snow family, but Rodney might not think of it this way. He might think that some things belong to him just because he’s the eldest son. Now that he has lost those things, he thinks that we are the ones who snatched them from him. To him, there’s nothing wrong with taking those things back through dishonest means.”
Jessica was stunned and dejected. “Perhaps you’re right. Grandpa and my dad have told him to work hard since he was young. They told him that Snow Corporation would be handed to him in the future and he would be the one supporting the family. Whenever he went outside, everyone would think of him as the successor of Snow Corporation. With that, many people would fawn over him. In fact, their approach was all wrong. Since Rodney was born in the Snow family, they should’ve let him know that the Snow family is a wolf’s den. Everything that the Snow family has will belong to those who are competent.”
Ryan scoffed in sarcasm. “How could Grandpa and the rest possibly say that? They always think that women are to be married off. Jessica, your achievements today stem from the fact that you’re competent.”
Jessica was at a loss for words. After a long time, she asked, “Ryan, what are your plans?”
“Rodney has gotten under my skin this time.” Ryan’s voice suddenly turned cold. “He didn’t only want to destroy Mireya, but he also wanted to destroy my and my parents’ reputation. He wanted my dad to be disqualified from running for re-election. Jessica, if you were in my shoes, what would you do in the face of such a savage wolf?”
