That was why he did not want to alarm her yet.
“Never mind.”
Ryan did not dare to be distracted anymore. He looked ahead and drove carefully.
Mireya still felt guilty. “Why don’t I… buy you some clothes?”
“You’ll have to give me a set of clothes.” Ryan laughed without holding back. “I think the shirt I’m wearing inside is wet too.”
“Okay. A set of clothes it is.” Mireya agreed to it generously. She was not short of money anyway. ” What size do you wear?”
” Size L.” Ryan was not fat, but his body was buff, which was why he wore a size large.
Mireya took a mental note. She was thinking of going to the mall tomorrow to go shopping.
When they were about to reach the official residence, Mireya suddenly realized something. “By the way, why did you go to my place today? And how did the news of my divorce leak out? They even knew that we had canceled the wedding. Didn’t you say that you handled it well when you were helping me to take care of this matter back then?”
After asking, she suddenly noticed that it sounded like she was trying to hold Ryan accountable.
Therefore, she added, “Don’t misunderstand. I’m not blaming you. I’m just curious. You helped me out of kindness. I know that.”
After the car was eerily silent for a while, Ryan chuckled strangely.
“Why are you laughing? Don’t take it to heart, ” Mireya quickly said as she was afraid that he would be angry and overthink.
After entering the official residence and parking the car, Ryan rested his left hand on the steering wheel. He faced Mireya with a resigned expression. “I could arrive in time today because I received information that the news of you and Rodney divorcing was leaked by the wedding studio you hired. I know the characters of those reporters well, so I rushed over in a hurry. Also, before I rushed over, I kept calling you but you didn’t pick up.”
Mireya took her phone out. There were really two missed calls from Ryan. He had also sent her a message, telling her not to leave the company first and wait for him to pick her up.
She had switched her phone to silent mode when she was working in the laboratory. She had completely forgotten about it.
Okay, that was awkward.
She had personally dealt with the matters of the wedding studio. She even compensated them a sum of money. She thought it would be fine.
In the end, the wedding studio betrayed her yet she did not even realize it. She thought it was Ryan who did not handle the matters with the wedding planner well.
If she could, she really wanted to crawl beneath the car.
Even if she was shameless, she still felt so awkward that her face flushed red at that moment. “I… I’m sorry. I thought…”
“Miss Lynch, you shouldn’t doubt my ability to get things done. ” Ryan teased her while smiling. “On the other hand, your abilities to handle matters… Tsk tsk… You’re still lacking.”
Mireya cleared her throat. After rolling her pretty eyes, she said shamelessly, “It’s true that I’m incapable. I’m not a guy anyway. It’s okay even if I’m not good at such things.”
Ryan was speechless. He only spoke after a long while, “Watch your words. There’s no need to make erotic jokes. I’m still a pure young man.”
“Ahem. That’s impossible.” Mireya was on the verge of crying out of frustration. She did not want to do that either, but it was better than letting the awkward situation continue.
However, the next topic was awkward too. “At least I won’t make erotic jokes while I’m talking.” Ryan was embarrassed. He could not say whether he was pure or not. Mireya could test it out herself.
“I didn’t make erotic jokes. There’s a saying among men. Guys can’t say that they’re incapable,” Mireya said with a straight face.
“Are you sure… that you want to discuss this with me?” Ryan looked at Mireya.
If it was possible, Mireya wanted to hit her head and die.
Ryan was right. She was a woman who was not divorced yet. Why was she discussing that question with her godbrother?
Was she crazy?
Seeing that Mireya’s face was as red as an apple, Ryan changed the topic. ” I’ve asked around. The wedding studio’s boss accepted your compensation. Although it was a verbal agreement, he must’ve thought that you and Rodney were getting divorced. He didn’t care much about it and leaked the information as he was currying favor with another big boss. That was why the news traveled to the reporters’ ears. Although I’ve stopped the news from spreading around the internet in time, there must already be some rumors in Canberra. Be careful.”
“Ryan, thank you.”
Mireya was very grateful. Ryan indeed took care of everything properly. “Just now, if you hadn’t come in time— “
“Remember to keep your phone reachable at all times.” Ryan interrupted her. His gaze was gentle. ” Of course, you don’t have to worry. Those reporters won’t trouble you anymore.”
Mireya was puzzled. “What are you planning to do?”
” Since they’re not qualified to be reporters, they don’t have to be reporters anymore,” Ryan spoke casually as if he was discussing that day’s weather.
However, Mireya strangely felt that he looked… pretty cool.
Nevertheless, the more Ryan stood up for her, the more she felt like she owed him.
The next day, Mireya invited Cate to go shopping.
At first, Cate thought Mireya was buying clothes for herself. When they walked into a men’s clothing store, Cate said, “Shaun doesn’t need clothes. He has too many of them.”
“I’m not asking you to buy clothes for Shaun. I dirtied Ryan’s clothes yesterday. I have to compensate him.” Mireya eyed the clothes in the store.
She found those clothes too fashionable. Ryan worked in the government’s office. He usually dressed quite maturely.
“Ryan?” Cate teased Mireya. “It looks like your relationship with him isn’t bad.”
“He’s a nice person. If it weren’t for him, Prime Minister Snow and his wife wouldn’t have helped me so much. The Snow family wouldn’t have agreed to me divorcing Rodney either.” Mireya told Cate about the incident with the reporters yesterday.
Cate lamented, “It seems like Ryan has positive values. Ah, he’s Rodney’s cousin, but why doesn’t Rodney have such good values? If only you had married Ryan back then. You would’ve been the perfect match.”
Mireya tsked. “How could the heavens possibly let me be so lucky? Nice guys are always taken. Besides, don’t talk like that anymore. Ryan is my brother in name now.”
Cate sighed. “Speaking of this, your brothers are all pretty good. Forrest is mature and steady. Although he hasn’t married yet, he’s not flirty.
Ryan’s personality isn’t bad too. I interacted with him before when I was in a miserable state. He wasn’t arrogant at all. Shaun also said that Ryan… isn’t simple. He’ll most probably surpass his father in the future.”
“No way.” Mireya was startled. She did not expect that Shaun would have such high opinions of Ryan.
Cate smiled. “He’s the youngest senator in Australia. How could he be in that position if he wasn’t capable? Moreover, I heard Shaun saying that Ryan did a lot of planning behind the scenes to pull Senator Mead and his family down. After Senator Mead was arrested, most of his power fell into Ryan’s grasp.”
Mireya looked dumbfounded.
She did not know about these matters.
Next to Ryan, she suddenly felt like an inexperienced fool.
“Now that you’ re staying at The Lodge, it’s good for you to get closer to Ryan.” Cate said, “I know you dislike buttering people up. But since you’ve started a business, it’s difficult to get things done without any connections. What’s more, you need to ride on the Snows’ coattails as long as you’re still married to Rodney. Otherwise, what will happen to Dani?”
Mireya nodded seriously. Cate had reminded her of these problems that she had never thought of before.
“This shirt seems to suit Ryan. ” Cate took a coat and began to discuss it with Mireya.
Then, Mireya returned to the official residence just in time for dinner.
However, Nathan and Ryan were talking business over dinner.
Unable to break in, Heidi shook her head helplessly and said to Mireya, “Get ready in two days and attend a dinner with me.”
Mireya was flattered. The dinner must be a special occasion to be attended by the prime minister’s wife. Coincidentally, rumors of Rodney and her divorce had been circulating recently, so Heidi must have thought of bringing her along to back her up.
Eternally grateful, Mireya nodded promptly.
After dinner, she pushed Dani in a stroller and made her way toward the back courtyard. Ryan happened to be heading to his courtyard as well, so he walked with her.
“Where are my clothes?” he asked. “You said you wanted to compensate me.”
Mireya rolled her eyes at him. “Young Master Snow, why are you in a rush? You’re not in need of clothes either.”
“That’s not it. I’m just worried that you’ll go back on your word. ” Ryan sighed. “That shirt was worth one month of my salary. Although I live here, my salary can’t even compare with that of rich people like you.”
Mireya was stung by his remark. On second thought, he might not earn as much as she did.
