Or was that not normal? Did Ryan’s words mean that he remembered these things about her because he placed her in his heart?
No, no. Did Ryan not like guys? “I’m different from you.”
Ryan held the teacup and drank a sip of tea. His tone was nonchalant. “I’ve been attending all sorts of dinners with my dad since I turned 14 years old. My dad wasn’t destined to be the prime minister from the start. There were many more people with higher positions above him. Therefore, I always had to pay attention to what that secretary liked to eat, what that secretary’s daughter liked to eat, or what food that councilor hated. Although it was just a meal, those people were very careful. I could only observe them through their gazes and details. For example, which leader had taken another serving of a dish and which leader did not even take another spoon of it.”
Mireya finally understood. She felt bad for Ryan.
She recalled what she did when she was 14 years old. Her life was free of worries.
She said with a soft voice, “You can do that during your social engagements, but you don’t have to be like that with me.”
“I know, but sometimes it’s second nature.”
Ryan smiled and said, ” I even have to remember the favorite food of each elder during meals in the Snow family’s manor, let alone the dinners outside. The elders of the family will have a higher opinion of you if you did better. “
Mireya opened her mouth and asked with complicated feelings, “Ryan, do you truly wish to perform well in the eyes of the Snow family’s elders? Do you want to… always be in a high position?”
“Mireya, after coming so far, I have no other choice. I can only say that I would’ve been content and happy even if my dad was just a supervisor.”
Ryan had a smile on his face throughout the conversation, but Mireya felt like she could see a hint of helplessness in that gentle man’s eyes.
That meal had indirectly closed the distance between them.
It was set that Mireya would pay for the meal.
When she went out to make the payment, she overheard two waitresses’ discussion when she passed by a corner.
“Hey, the guy in the Crown Private Room tonight looks pretty handsome.”
“He’s already taken, though. Didn’t you see that he has a wife and was even carrying a child?”
“I saw it. That woman must be so happy to have such a handsome and caring husband. You might not have seen it, but the guy was carrying the child throughout the whole meal. I’ve worked here for so long and guys like that are rarely seen. It’s like they’re almost extinct.”
Mireya did not go over to disturb them.
She thought those waitresses would not even believe that a good guy like Ryan preferred men.
In the following days, Mireya worked in the mornings and took care of Dani at night.
Ryan would return to the official residence to eat sometimes, but he would occasionally spend the night outside.
Every time that happened, Mireya would feel nervous. She was afraid that Ryan was dating men outside. Therefore, she sent a message to Ryan: [ Why didn’t you come back last night? Do you have a boyfriend outside?]
Ryan: [I’m not telling you.]
Mireya was anxious. He might be hiding something.
She quickly replied: [You should come back to the official residence tonight, okay? Don’t spend the whole night outside anymore.]
Ryan: [Haha, do you miss me?]
Mireya: [Yes, I miss you.]
Ryan: [I’ll go back since you miss me.]
Mireya breathed a sigh of relief. Her restless, motherly heart finally relaxed.
Not long after, Ryan sent her a picture. There was a plate of spaghetti bolognese in the picture. There was a layer of grated cheese on top of the spaghetti and strips of steak. A fork was placed beside the plate, and his slender fingers on the fork were captured in the picture.
Ryan: [This is the spaghetti bolognese sold in our office building. It’s good.]
Mireya: [It looks pretty delicious. I haven’t eaten spaghetti bolognese in a long time. I’m craving it.]
Ryan: [I’m not giving it to you.] Mireya: [I’ll ignore you.]
Ryan: [Baby Mireya, don’t be angry. I’ll arrange for it to be delivered to you tomorrow.]
Mireya: [Are you asking for a beating? Do you think it’ll still be edible by then?]
“What are you doing?”
A curious voice came from Mireya’s side.
Mireya was startled. She quickly raised her head. Only then did she realize that Cate had been standing beside her and was looking at her phone curiously.
Rodney was not like Ryan. Ryan was always the same.
When Mireya and Ryan just knew each other, he was gentle and meticulous. After being around each other every day, he even started cracking jokes.
Nevertheless, he was still very conscientious in every small matter.
It was too bad that such a good man did not like women.
Having said that, Ryan was so attentive to a child. Could he be hiding a girlish heart within him?
At that moment, Mireya felt a mixture of feelings.
Ryan returned to his seat. He observed Mireya’s expression while entertaining Dani. He did not know what she was thinking as she stared straight at him.
Her mixed-race-like face was wistful at one moment. Then, it became angry the next moment and regretful…
Ryan could not hold back his laughter. “Can you tell me what you’re imagining in your head?’
Mireya was stunned. She came back to her senses and stammered, “Ryan, did you lie to me? I still don’t really believe that you like men.”
Ryan raised his eyebrows. “Love has no boundaries. It’s not fixed between a man and a woman. I like to think of love as a clash between the magnetic fields of two different souls which produce sparks and intimacy.”
At that moment, Mireya believed in him gg percent due to the serious tone of his words.
She drank a sip of tea nervously. “You have a point there. Can you tell me what type of men will make your heart flutter?”
Ryan’s eyebrows moved, and his pretty lips parted.
“Wait…”
Mireya raised her hand. “Don’t say it. I don’t want to know anymore.”
She could not really picture the scene of Ryan falling in love with a man.
Between two guys, would he be the top or…
Ah… For someone as attentive as him, he would usually be the bottom.
Mireya gulped down the whole cup of tea. “Although I respect all love, you have to think it through.”
She said reluctantly, “Not only that, when you’re doing that thing with guys, you might be the bottom. But if you were to do it with women, you can be on top most of the time…”
“Ahem…”
Ryan choked. When he recovered, his handsome face was flushed red from laughing.
Mireya was embarrassed. “I’m telling the truth. You don’t know how much I envy men. If I were to be reborn, I want to be a guy.”
“Oh, ” Ryan said profoundly, “So you want to be on top.”
“Ahem…”
It was Mireya’s turn to choke.
Ryan suppressed his laughter. “It’s okay. You can treat me as your girl bestie.”
Mireya was utterly speechless. How could she treat him as her girl best friend with that good-looking face of his? She really wanted him to think it over. “
