Meeting The One For Me

Chapter 238

The garage shutter had completely lowered, and it was terrifyingly dark inside the car. Audrey couldn't see Ryan's aggressively penetrating gaze and could only hear both their breathing.

Ryan's jaw was tightly clenched, and he closed his eyes to steady his breath. Pushing open the car door, he lifted Audrey out.

The motion sensor lights in the garage illuminated.

He set Audrey down steadily on the ground, then grabbed the suit jacket from the passenger seat, closed the car door, and entered the security code of the villa before heading inside." I'll have the driver take you back."

Audrey hesitated for a moment, but still quickened her steps to follow him into the elevator and up to the house. She watched as Ryan dialed the driver's number to have the car brought to the front gate.

Meanwhile, her hands clenched behind her back.

She felt a slight sense of disappointment, though she didn't quite understand why.

Perhaps it was because, despite Ryan's urgency at Night Palace, he was now sending her back as soon as they arrived at the villa.

Was it because she hadn't explained herself properly, or did her refusal anger Ryan?

Or had Ryan grown tired of her?

Before Audrey could dwell on her thoughts, her phone rang. Glancing at the suit jacket tossed on the couch and the tie tak off by Ryan as he went to the kitchen for water,

retrieved her phone.

It was Nathan calling.

Audrey frowned and blocked Nathan's number. When she looked up, she found a glass of water placed in front of her.

She glanced up at Ryan, whose expression remained unchanged, and took the water. "Thank you."

The headlights outside illuminated the view from the floor-to-ceiling windows. Ryan said, The car's here. It's getting late. You should head back."

Audrey held the glass of water and nodded. "Be careful not to touch water with your injured

hand. Take care."

Ryan watched as Audrey left. He then placed the glass of water on the side table, unbuttoned his shirt, and went upstairs.

Standing in front of the liquor cabinet, he poured himself a drink and downed it in one gulp.

Sitting in the back seat of the car, Audrey leaned her head against the window while watching the bustling streets of Mythravia.

She couldn't quite understand what was going on with Ryan.

Perhaps it was because she had so little experience with relationships.

Her past relationship with Nathan was straightforward. He had always been clear about his intentions, and Audrey never had to guess what he was thinking.

But this was Ryan, and Audrey found him difficult to understand.

To Audrey, Ryan was always so superior. He seemed to be in control of whatever was going

on, and he also had an extraordinary intellect and determination, as well as absolute control over his emotions.

She had never imagined that someone like Ryan would lose control and resort to violence. It just didn't seem like him.

Audrey's mind was in turmoil.
