His handsome face looked lonely, and it made Mireya’s heart twinge.
“I don’t think you’re disgusting,” she explained anxiously, “You’re a very, very good person in my heart…”
“Then let me kiss you, okay?” Ryan gazed at Mireya with his bright eyes.
Mireya was about to go insane. “It’s not that I don’t want to help you. I have a cold. It’s the flu. I might infect you too.”
“Can we try it after you recover from the flu?” Ryan said with undying determination.
“….”
Mireya gritted her teeth in frustration. “Let me tell you this, I’m not a person who’ll simply kiss another person. What if I fall in love with you when you kiss me? I’ll be very clingy once I fall in love with someone. You’d better watch out.”
“If you like me and if I don’t dislike kissing you, I can consider marrying you. However, if I really don’t have feelings for you, you shouldn’t force me.” Ryan shrugged his shoulders resignedly.
“Haha, I won’t force you. Don’t worry. I won’t fall in love with you.”
Mireya was utterly embarrassed. She glared at Ryan angrily. “I don’t want you to do anything forcefully too. I don’t want to marry my ex-husband’s brother.”
“Alright, I was just teasing you. I’m going to work.”

Ryan opened the door with a smile. Before he left, he turned his head and reminded Mireya. ” I’ll be waiting for you to recover from the flu.”
After he spoke, the door closed.
Mireya ruffled her hair out of frustration.
Did she just agree to kiss Ryan?
How did things turn out that way?
Was she crazy?
However, did she have to be so nervous?
It would just be a kiss. She was already a divorced woman. What tough things had she not experienced yet? Why was she like this over a kiss?
Ryan could just kiss her.
Why should she be afraid of that?
Mireya might be thinking that way, but her mind could not calm down.
To stop herself from thinking nonsense, she turned on the television in the living room. Just as she wanted to watch a new TV show, her phone rang. It was Rodney who was calling.
Mireya did not want to pick up the call at all, but she still clenched her jaw and picked it up when she thought of Dani. “I’m giving you half a minute to talk. If you want to scold me over Sarah again, I’ll hang up.”
“… I want to meet Dani.” Rodney’s voice was cold. “I haven’t seen her for more than a month now. I’m her father. I have the right to see her.”
“You can go to the official residence to meet Dani today, I’ll inform Godmother to let you in.” After Mireya spoke, her throat itched badly. She coughed twice and continued, “But you can’t bring her outside.”
“Mireya Lynch, she’s my daughter. Don’t I even have the right to bring my child outside to play?!” Ryan shouted.
“Play?” Mireya sneered. “How old is Dani? She can’t even flip her body. And the weather’s so cold. What can she play? Rodney, if it weren’t for your parents, I wouldn’t even let Dani acknowledge you as her father. You have no right, do you know that?”
After Mireya hung up the call, she felt exasperated for Dani.
Rodney had ignored his daughter for more than a month. How did he have the audacity to say he wanted to meet Dani now?
Luckily, her daughter was still young. She could not understand a thing yet.
However, Mireya knew that from her relationship with the official residence, her daughter would find out that Rodney was her biological father sooner or later after growing up.
If Mireya were to stop them, the judge would still allow Rodney and Dani to meet each other twice a month if he brought the issue to court.
She did not want to make things too complicated.
At 10:00 a.m., the sitter called and told her that Rodney had gone to the official residence to visit his daughter. The sitter also sent her messages from time to time, telling Mireya that Rodney stayed at the official residence for lunch. After eating, he continued accompanying his daughter. It seemed like Rodney had not left yet when Ryan came to pick Mireya up in the evening.
When Mireya thought she would have to face Rodney when she returned, she felt annoyed.
“You’re in a bad mood. Have a hot drink.” Ryan passed her a cup of honey and lemon tea.
“Rodney can’t possibly be staying for dinner a t the official residence, right?” Mireya said irritatedly.
“If he doesn’t leave, my parents will feel embarrassed to chase him out.” Ryan shrugged. “Don’t worry. I’ll be there with you. I won’t let him bully you.”
Upon hearing his words, Mireya felt reassured. After sipping the hot drink, her throat felt much better too. “You didn’t buy this especially for me, right?”
In the official residence.
Just as Rodney carried Dani over from the sitter’s hands, the baby started crying not long after.
He became annoyed. When he came in the morning, Dani cried as soon as he carried her. He kept telling her that he was her father, but she did not understand him at all.
To Dani, Rodney’s scent had become unfamiliar. She did not like strangers carrying her. Rodney then kept playing with her after she woke up from her nap in the evening. They managed to get a little closer, but Dani still did not want him to carry her.
“Dani, I’m Dad. Don’t you recognize me?” Rodney was heartbroken. “When you were just born, you liked me carrying you so much. I was the one who put you to sleep every night.”
Dani did not care. She kept pouting and crying. Her teary eyes glanced toward the sitter at the side.
The sitter sighed as she watched.
Heidi’s heart ached from listening to the child’s cries. She could not help but mock coldly, “Children are forgetful, especially those who are just a few months old. They’ll forget people if they don’t appear for one week, let alone you who haven’t cared for your child for more than a month.”
Nathan kept a cold expression and did not say a word. He thought Rodney deserved it anyway. Rodney brought everything upon himself.
Rodney’s face was flushed red from being mocked. “I didn’t do it on purpose. There are a lot of things going on in the company these days, and Sarah-“
“Yes, you’re busy with your company’s matters, busy taking care of Sarah, and busy preparing a wedding for her. You don’t even have time to spare to accompany your daughter,” Nathan scolded Rodney. “Dani might be young, but she can differentiate who’s more attentive to her. She’s your biological child, yet she can’t even compare to anything else in your heart.”
Rodney opened his mouth reluctantly. However, seeing his daughter, who was crying pitifully in his arms, a deep wave of guilt welled up in him.
“Oh, why is our Dani crying so badly?”
Ryan’s sarcastic voice came from the door.
Rodney raised his head and looked over in dissatisfaction. He saw Ryan and Mireya walking side by side. Mireya was wearing a mask, and she had a scarf around her neck. She held a hot drink in her hands. The two were of similar age. Ryan was competent with a good character while Mireya had a stunning figure and beautiful looks. They did not look like siblings at all. Instead, they seemed to be a man and woman who shared an ambiguous relationship.
Yes, things looked ambiguous between them.
It seemed to be that way to Rodney.
Flames of jealousy burned in his chest.
Mireya did not even care to look at Rodney. Her attention was fully on Dani, who was crying. She was anxious, but she did not dare to carry Dani as she had a cold.
“Dani, my good baby. Why are you crying?” Ryan quickly extended his hands to carry her.
Rodney carried his daughter and avoided him.
However, when Dani saw Ryan, she kept stretching her tiny hands toward him, wanting Ryan to carry her. When Ryan could not do so, she cried even more sadly.
Traces of depression and anger welled up in Rodney’s heart.
Why? Dani was his biological child, yet she would rather Ryan carry her instead of him.
“Rodney, can you cut it out? Can’t you see that Dani is crying? Children can’t cry for too long. It’ll hurt their throat.” Ryan’s handsome face darkened. He extended his hands. “Give her to me. I don’t want to snatch her because I don’t want to hurt her.”
“She’s my daughter. I can coax her by myself.” Rodney let out a hmph.
