Indeed, she wanted to ask why she did not have a good brother like Ryan.
If she had such a gentle brother like Ryan as well as a quiet yet protective brother like Forrest, she would be a winner in life. It would not be an issue even if she was forever single.
Mr. Lynch rolled his eyes at Mrs. Lynch. “Don’t talk nonsense. He’s the prime minister’s son, and he’s well-educated. Also, that’s wishful thinking. Are Ryan and Rodney’s identities even the same? Since Ryan’s aiming to take over his father’s position in the future, his other half must be an extraordinary woman.”
“I was just saying.”
Mrs. Lynch waved her hand. “Look. They’re both from the same family, but why are they worlds apart?”
“Forget it. Let’s drop the subject. It’s good that Mireya has gotten a divorce.”
Mr. Lynch sighed before saying to his daughter, ” Mireya, don’t overthink things. Perhaps it’s good that you’ve divorced Rodney. If you were to notice his flaws only a few years later, you and Dani would be older already. It would be more inconvenient to divorce him then. After we buy a house in Canberra, you can move in and stay with us. We won’t force you to get married soon. When you meet someone you like next time, you can marry him. Otherwise, it’s fine to stay with us forever.”
Those words made Mireya’s eyes redden. “Thanks, Dad.”
Although God made her go through a tough time in relationships, she would never collapse because she had her family backing her.
“My poor daughter is such a nice person, yet those men don’t know how to appreciate her.”
Mrs. Lynch took great pity on Mireya. Then, she said to her son, “You’d better work hard in Lynch Corporation. I’m not expecting you to surpass Snow Corporation, but you must at least make Lynch Corporation one of the top five enterprises in the country. I want those who abandoned my daughter to notice how blind they were.”
Forrest’s mouth twitched. He forced a smile and nodded. “Mom, I’ll try my best.”
¡®It’s all too easy for you to say that you want Lynch Corporation to be one of the top five enterprises in the country.
¡®Lynch Corporation couldn’t even make it to the top five enterprises in Melbourne when I just took over the company.’
In the next few days, Mr. Lynch and Mrs. Lynch went to scout around for a house. The two of them were indeed decisive. On the third day, they called Mireya cheerfully to tell her a piece of good news.
“Mireya, we’ve already bought a three—story villa near the seaside. It’s quite spacious. There’s a swimming pool, a lawn, and a field. Also, it’s quite close to your office. You’ll be able to reach home in half an hour if you use the beltway. But you still need to wait for half a year. The renovation has just been done, and it’s still empty there. Dani can’t stay there yet.”
Mrs. Lynch was extremely delighted. ” I’ll return to Melbourne with your dad to handle the issue, while your brother will stay here to build the new company. As such, we’ll have a house in Canberra. “
“Mom, you guys… were too quick in deciding.” Mireya sighed.
“It’s all thanks to Ryan. We’re not familiar with this area either, so it’s difficult to find a good location. Ryan found us a reliable agent to help us. After expressing our interest in the villa, we bought it at a discounted price since Ryan has connections with the developer. After you recover, you have to treat him to a meal.”
“… Alright.”
After hanging up, Mireya sent Ryan a WhatsApp message. [Do you owe anyone a favor after helping my parents purchase a villa in Canberra?]
Ryan promptly replied: [Only other people owe me favors. I’ll never owe anyone a favor.]
Mireya laughed. She lowered her head and replied, [Anyway, you’ve helped my family a lot. I’ll treat you to a meal after I recover.]
Ryan: [You should really treat me to a meal. I almost risked my life because of you.]
Mireya: [Okay. You’ve worked really hard lately, Minister Mead…]
Ryan: [I’ll pick you up when you’re discharged from the hospital tomorrow. I’ll also invite your parents t o The Lodge.]
Mireya: [Forget it. The procedure of entering The Lodge is troublesome. My parents said they’re returning to Melbourne tomorrow. I’ll invite you to our new house next time.]
Ryan: [It’ll be my great honor.]
The next morning.
After Forrest assisted Mireya with the discharge procedure, Ryan drove to the car park.
” I’m in Canberra. You can contact me anytime if there’s anything.”
After Forrest saw her off, he did not go to The Lodge with them. He reminded her of something before Ryan drove her to The Lodge.
Mireya, who was in the backseat, felt at ease as if she had been freed.
She had stayed in the hospital for over a week. Although she was in a VIP ward where she was served good food and drinks, it still felt terrible mainly because she missed Dani.
During the journey, she kept asking Ryan about Dani.
Toward the end of the conversation, she became a little glum. “Do you think Dani still remembers me? When I had video calls with her in the last few days, she would ignore me and rather play with her toys.”
Ryan shot a glance at her through the rearview mirror.
She was served good meals during this period and seemed to have gotten fairer. When she lowered her head, it was as if moonlight was shining on her skin.
Ryan subconsciously brushed the steering wheel with his hand and said with a smile, “You’re overthinking it. What does a three -month-old kid know about video calls? What’s more, it’s good that she ignored you. Before that, whenever she saw you hanging up first, she would cry out loud.”
“What an irresponsible mother I am.” Mireya started to reflect on herself. “When I get back, I must spend more time with her.”
Ryan did not answer her. He took a flyer from the passenger seat and handed it to her.
Mireya took the flyer, only to realize that it was regarding a studio photoshoot for children.
“Dani is almost 100 days old. Do you want to let her take part in a studio photoshoot?” Ryan said, ” When Aunty Wendy came over to visit Dani yesterday, she mentioned it too.”
“Oops. I nearly forgot about it.”
An annoyed expression washed over Mireya’s pretty face. “Earlier, Mom… I mean… Aunty Wendy mentioned it. Dani didn’t have the photoshoot when she was one month old. At first, we planned to do it when she was 1oo days old…”
At that time, Mireya and Rodney had promised to do it. Who knew the two of them would get a divorce in less than three months?
She sighed. “I want to go too, but my body—“
Ryan interrupted her, “I can accompany you there. Aunty Cally and I will help out. You can just watch us from the side.”
Mireya was stunned. She was a little swayed, but she felt ashamed. “But will I be disturbing you? Or I can look for Aunty Wendy— “
“Let’s do it on Saturday,” Rodney cut in. “Don’t look for Aunty Wendy because her waist has been troubling her lately. Dani has also grown bigger.
Aunty Wendy will have to carry her and treat her patiently during the photoshoot. In that case, she might not be able to deal with Dani.”
“Alright then. Thank—“
“Please don’t say thank you to me anymore, ” Ryan promptly said, “We’re already so close. What’s more, I’m really fond of Dani. She’s very adorable, just like a doll. When she smiles, she has dimples on her cheeks.”
Mireya was pleased that he liked her dear daughter and was praising her. “Well, look who gave birth to her. Since you like children, you should give birth to one soon. Given that you have good genes, your future child will definitely be good-looking as well.”
“Hmm… we’ll see.”
Ryan mumbled to avoid the topic.
As soon as they arrived at The Lodge, Ryan parked his car. He opened the rear door and carried Mireya out of the car.
From the car park, Ryan had to pass by a garden before arriving at the building where Mireya stayed.
Mireya felt very awkward being nestled in his arms. Although he had even carried her to the hospital before this, she did not feel anything much due to the physical pain.
Now that he was carrying her in his arms again, she could see his prominent chin and clean collarbone the moment she lifted her eyes.
Somehow, her face started burning. “Am I… very heavy? Can you carry me?”
“Yeah… you’re heavier than before. Why don’t you put your hands around my shoulders? It’ll be easier for me,” Ryan said after lowering his head.
“Oh.” After listening to him, she put her hands around his neck without giving it much thought.
Ryan’s body jerked.
She got a fright and instinctively tightened her grip. She then shouted, “Ryan, oh, Ryan, carry me properly. I can’t fall again.”
Looking at her panicked expression, Ryan forced a smile. “Don’t worry, I won’t let you fall.”
He felt a strange sensation in his body when she wrapped her hands tightly around his neck just now.
