It Was 7:30 p.m. Not long after Mireya returned to the official residence, Heidi came over to visit Dani and complain about her son.

“That brat. Ryan only had a 40-minute meal with that lady. Then, he left after saying his friend had a n emergency.”

Heidi was not only angry about that. “He didn’t even pick up my calls. It’s exasperating.”

Mireya felt guilty. After all, she was the one who made that call and helped Ryan find excuses to escape. “Could I have been mistaken? Maybe he doesn’t like chubby girls. Why don’t we try another pretty and elegant girl tomorrow…”

“Let’s try it out.” Heidi could not help but sigh as she watched Dani. “I don’t know when that rascal is going to marry a wife and give me such a cute grandchild.”

“Godmother, why are you being so hasty? Carson isn’t married yet and he’s of similar age as Ryan.”

Mireya and Heidi chatted for a while. After Heidi left, she sent a Whatsapp message to Ryan: [When are you coming back? Your mom came over to my place to complain about you just now. Why don’t you tell me what’s your ideal type and I’ll help you filter through the photos on Godmother’s phone.]

In the bar, Ryan laughed when he saw her message.

After laughing, he felt bitter.

What was the most excruciating thing in the world? It was liking someone yet not being able to tell that person. He was scared that he would frighten Mireya.

After staring at the screen for a few minutes, he replied: [I like guys. Does my mom’s phone have photos of guys?]

Pfft.

Mireya, who was in the middle of drinking water, was so startled that she spat out the water.

She quickly wiped her mouth, but she still choked afterward.

After coughing until her face reddened, she quickly replied: [Stop joking.]

Ryan: [ Hah…]

Mireya tried to imagine Ryan’s expression. She had a bad feeling. [I’m being serious here. Don’t scare me, okay?]

Ryan: [I’ve never told anyone else. I can’t talk about these kinds of things. My parents’ hopes are all on me. You know that.]

Mireya could not understand. She did not want to know about it either.

What was wrong with the world? Even pretty guys did not like women anymore.

Why did Ryan not like women?

Mireya yelled mentally for a long time. She had no choice but to reply: [Is today April Fool’s Day?

Ryan, don’t joke around, okay? Women are sweet, beautiful, and irresistible yet you don’t like them? Are you kidding me?]

“Ha…”

Ryan could not hold back his laughter.

Under the colorful lights, the corners of his mouth were curved up high.

His friend, Theo Fields, kicked him from the side. ” You’re smile is so f*cking lewd.”

Ryan placed an arm over Theo’s shoulders. ” Brother, I’m counting on you for my happiness. “

“I’m okay with that. I like men anyway.” Theo grinned naughtily and was about to peck Ryan’s face.

“Go away.” Ryan quickly pushed his face away.” I’m not interested in you.”

Theo laughed. He grabbed a wine bottle and started drinking. Ryan lowered his head and looked at his phone. Mireya had sent another message: [Ryan, listen to your sister. You can try dating women. Perhaps women will be more to your taste than men.]

Ryan: [I know. That’s why I’m confused now. Don’t tell anyone else.]

Mireya: [I won’t tell other people, but you can’t continue being like this.]

After that, Ryan did not reply to her anymore.

Mireya stared at the ceiling in a daze. She suddenly felt like sharing that information with Cate. However, that was Ryan’s secret. She could not speak carelessly about it.

She kept telling herself that Ryan was definitely lying to her.

However… What if it was true?

Moreover, Heidi had said that Ryan never interacted or dated girls since coming back to Australia. Mireya only heard that he had dated a girl overseas for a short period. After that, she did not hear him talking about his love life anymore.

Perhaps Ryan’s sexual preferences changed during the period he lived overseas.

Mireya could not sleep that night.

Even at midnight, she had yet to fall asleep. She got up and glanced at the building where Ryan lived. It was dark. He had not returned yet.

Maybe he was quietly sulking somewhere.

The next day, Ryan did not come for breakfast.

Only after asking the butler did Mireya know that he returned during dawn and had not woken up yet.

Heidi let out a hmph and said, “He must be avoiding me because he doesn’t want me to nag about yesterday’s blind date.”

Nathan smiled. “Don’t be so hasty. He’s only 26 years old.”

Mireya lowered her head and pretended to be looking at her phone. Half a minute later, she exclaimed, “I just saw a gossip magazine saying that a well- known celebrity might be gay.”

Heidi scooped a bowl of oatmeal. “There are many other countries where same -sex marriage is legal. It’s no big deal.”

Mireya blinked. “Godmother, can you accept it?”

“Love is love. We shouldn’t discriminate against them, ” Heidi said, “But if my son came out as gay, I might just faint from the shock.”

Mireya was speechless.

Heidi had double standards.

However, if Dani were to tell Mireya out of the blue that she liked girls in the future, Mireya might faint too.

Having become a mother herself, Mireya was worried for Heidi.

After having breakfast, Mireya returned to the back courtyard but she went to where Ryan stayed. The doors were wide open there, and a maid was mopping the floor in the living room.

When the maid saw Mireya, she pointed upstairs. ” Young Master has just woken up.”

Upon hearing that Ryan was awake, Mireya went upstairs without a worry.

The bedroom door on the second floor was slightly ajar.

Mireya knocked on the door. “Ryan, are you inside? I’m coming in.”

“Wait…”

Before he could finish speaking, Mireya had already pushed the door open.

In the bedroom, Ryan was only in a pair of pajama pants and his upper body was naked. His hair was messy, and there was a toothbrush in his mouth.

Mireya was dumbstruck.

She was dumbstruck not because she could see Ryan’s fit waist but because she saw the tent poking from his pajama pants.

She had seen that part of Rodney in the past. However, it was Ryan in front of her at that moment.

It was Ryan.

This was Ryan, who was like a friend and a family member to Mireya.
