Filed to story: I Got Married Without You
Rosalyn didn’t expect the girl already be a mother, married to Zoey whom she had known for many years. It’s good this way.
In response to Rosalyn’s blessings, Nora’s face, with a gentle smile, was sweet like honey, looking extremely happy.
Zoey must treat her very well for her to maintain the optimistic attitude of a young girl, always cheerful.
After Nora greeted Rosalyn and Zocy, they chatted for a while and then Nora got up and went to the kitchen, saying she wanted to make milk tea for Rosalyn.
Eva wanted to give the two some space, so she tactfully followed Nora to the kitchen.
Once they left, the living room became quiet, and Rosalyn looked at Ryan.
“Ryan, the atmosphere in your home is really nice.”
Ryan, who had been sitting quietly next to her, finally came back to his senses and nodded at her.
“With Nora and Zoey here, my days are not boring.”
After Ryan finished speaking, he glanced at Zoey, who had been staring at Rosalyn, signaling him not to look at her like that.
After receiving Ryan’s gaze, Zoey’s underlying resentment diminished slightly, but Rosalyn could still see it.
In fact, when Nora brought Zocy over to greet her earlier, she had already sensed Zoey’s hostility.
Rosalyn could understand, but she didn’t take his dissatisfaction To heart.
Time passed in silence, and Rosalyn still didn’t know how to ask him about depression.
Just as she hesitated and contemplated how to bring it up, Ryan spoke first.
“Rosalyn, how are you and Andrew doing?”
Even though he knew they were doing well, Ryan still asked, as if he wanted to learn something about her or their situation.
“We are fine.”
Short and simple, without delving into much about Andrew, but it already conveyed Rosalyn’s treasure towards him.
Ryan didn’t ask any more questions. He lifted his fair fingers and poured some tea from the teapot on the table into the small teacup, then handed it to Rosalyn.
“When you were little, you saw the dean making tea and said you wanted to become a tea master when you grew up. Did you ever learn how to appreciate tea?”
His relaxed tone helped Rosalyn relax her tense body.
She reached out and took the teacup, placing it near her lips.
She took a slow sip and then smiled. “Sorry, I still don’t have the talent to appreciate tea.
Ryan’s lifeless eyes gradually gained color when they met that familiar and sweet smile.
He opened the nearby tea box and used his clean fingers to pick up a small amount of tea leaves, introducing the variety to Rosalyn. “This is a rare type of Ceylon highland black tea. There are only six plants left.”
Rosalyn nodded, not fully understanding. “Ryan, when did you start liking tea? I remember you didn’t used to drink it.”
You said you wanted to become a tea master, so I’ll become one in your place.
The Ryan who lived in the past found the answer in his heart, but he smiled without saying a word.
Rosalyn thought her question might have been silly since he didn’t answer. She lifted the teacup and drank to hide her embarrassment.
After a few moments of silence, Rosalyn put down the teacup and looked at the calm Ryan.
“Ryan, weren’t you going to marry Ms. Cooke? Why haven’t I heard any news about your wedding?”
Ryan, holding the teacup, had a dim expression that quickly disappeared. “Ms. Cooke and I have called off the engagement.”
Rosalyn frowned. “Why?”
“Because she found someone more suitable.”
Since you had successfully married Andrew, there was no need for me to pretend anymore.
Ryan’s eyes were clear as he stared at Rosalyn, as if she had figured something out, she looked away.
“Ryan, I’m not that good. You don’t have to sacrifice everything for me. It’s not worth it.” She had been avoiding discussing their relationship, but she realized that in order for Ryan to move on, she couldn’t avoid their past feelings anymore.
Ryan’s long eyelashes slowly fell. “Rosalyn, I have already let go of you. There’s no sacrifice involved.”
He said he had let go of her, so it seemed inappropriate for Rosalyn to continue this topic.
Ryan was still the same as before, always knowing how to make her shut her mouth. chance When Rosalyn fell silent, Ryan flashed a carefree smile at her.
“Do you come today because of my depression?” he asked softly.
She hesitated on how to respond, but Ryan took the initiative to change the topic, sparing her from feeling too uncomfortable.
He didn’t actually want Rosalyn to know, but Mr. Sherwood had somehow figured it out, so he could only accept this.
“Yeah,” Rosalyn replied, lifting her teacup again, worry in her eyes as she looked at Ryan. “I heard your depression has reached a severe stage. I want to stay and go through this difficult time with you.”
Ryan’s heart skipped a beat as images of living together with her flashed in his mind, but that was just wishful thinking.
“Who told you I have severe depression?” He set down his teacup and confidently met Rosalyn’s skeptical gaze. “I’m just a little depressed, not to the point of being severe. Why would I need you to go through this suffering with me?”
He acted natural, but Rosalyn didn’t believe him. Ryan often hid his difficulties from her, just like when he used to work at the restaurant. She had caught him, and he lied, saying it was just to help a friend.
No matter what happened in Ryan’s life, he carried the burden alone and would never involve her.
Rosalyn knew him well enough to understand the depths of his emotions beneath his calm exterior.
“Ryan, Eva told me about your symptoms. Don’t lie to me anymore,” Rosalyn said, pushing away the phone he handed her, as if remembering something.
“The doctor made a misdiagnosis. I haven’t had a chance to tell Eva yet. I didn’t expect you to show up so soon,” Ryan said, pulling out his phone and showing Rosalyn the number of the depression specialist. “If you don’t believe me, call my doctor. He can’t lie to you in an unexpected situation, right?”
Who knew if he had already spoken to the doctor before knowing she would come?
Rosalyn furrowed her brows, pondering for a moment before reaching out and pushing away the phone Ryan offered.
“Ryan, I planned to come and keep you company every day. Are you really saying you don’t need it?”
