Chapter 1009: Will She Come to See Me Again?
Madison told Ryan exactly what Yanis had said earlier. After listening, Ryan was speechless and didn't
know how to respond. After a brief silence, he reached out and held Madison's hand, whispering, "You
just need to give her some time to accept everything. If needed, I'll talk to Martin and Zane. They might
be of some help."
Seeing Ryan like this, Madison's tears started flowing even harder. To be honest, she hadn't fallen for
Ryan when they first met. It was his wealth that attracted her. She strategically made Ryan notice her
and fall in love with her, despite her family's objections, and eventually married him. Over time, true
feelings did develop between them, and they had a happy family with their son, Ivan.
However, after giving birth to Ivan, Madison's emotions took a drastic turn. She became stubborn,
possessive, and suffocating. Yet, Ryan never said a word about it. Over the years, he had been like a
puppet, except for business matters where he stood firm. He let Madison have her way in everything
else.
Although Madison was somewhat overbearing, she never meddled in Ryan's work. As Ivan grew older,
Madison's fixation shifted to him, but she tried to restrain herself from interfering too much. She even
considered having Yanis be with Ivan without knowing that Yanis was already married to Zane.
Madison had a special feeling about Yanis when they first met, something she couldn't put into words.
At the time, she had no idea that Yanis was her own daughter. What she did back then, not just to
Yanis, but to anyone, might have been unforgivable.
Madison couldn't deny that she had heard Ryan's words earlier. Yanis had been through a lot over the
years, and this past year seemed to be slightly better for her. Madison was aware of that. During a
certain period, Ivan had been concerned about Yanis' well-being.
After a brief silence, Madison looked at Ryan and softly asked, "Will she come to see me again?"
Ryan met Madison's gaze but couldn't give her a definite answer. He wasn't sure if his efforts to
convince Martin, Olivia, or Zane to arrange a meeting would be successful. He had said what he did
earlier just to do whatever little he could for Madison.
Seeing Ryan remain silent, Madison sighed and didn't speak further. Ryan sat by her bedside for a
while, comforting her with a few words before leaving the room. After closing the door, he couldn't help
but sigh again.
Things were not peaceful at the company either. Some shareholders were getting restless, feeling that
Ryan was getting old and the company's affairs should be handed over to younger people. They were
pressuring him to step down from his current position.
Ryan stood outside the master bedroom for a while before turning and going to his study. Ryan was not
a frequent smoker, but today, he found himself smoking two cigarettes in a row in his study. After
finishing, he picked up his phone and called Ivan.
A few days ago, when Ivan returned, Ryan wanted to talk to him alone about staying in Manches City.
But at that moment, Ryan couldn't find the words to say. When the call connected, Ryan started, "Ivan."
From the other side, Ivan's voice came through, "Hey, Dad, is there something you need?"
Listening to Ivan's inquiry, Ryan couldn't help but tighten his grip on the phone. He didn't know when
their conversations had become so formal and business-like. It seemed like they only spoke to each
other about work matters. Ryan realized that the responsibility for this situation rested heavily on his
shoulders.
"I... are you busy right now?" Ryan asked after a few seconds of hesitation.
Ivan responded, "Not really. If you have something to say, go ahead."
Ryan hesitated for a moment before asking, "Ivan, do you plan to stay in M Country for good?"
There was a brief silence on the other end before Ivan softly replied, "At least for now, I don't plan to
come back."
Hearing Ivan's response, Ryan's grip on the phone tightened again. He then asked, "And what if I want
you to come back now?"
Ivan took a longer pause before replying, "It might not be possible at the moment."
Upon hearing Ivan's answer, Ryan struggled to find the right words to say.
"Dad, is that all you called to ask?" Ivan asked in a calm tone.
"I...," Ryan hesitated for a moment before explaining the recent situation at the company, including
Madison's condition.
After listening to Ryan's words, Ivan remained silent for a while before speaking, "At least for the next
three months, things here are just getting started. If I leave now, it would cause significant losses."
Ryan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief upon hearing Ivan's response. "Well, focus on your work Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
then. I can manage for these three months."
Ivan acknowledged, "Alright then. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."
"Ivan."
As Ivan was about to hang up, Ryan's voice came through the phone again.
"Yeah?" Ivan responded.
"Yanis came to the house today, but I don't know what they talked about. Your mother's not in a good
mood," Ryan said.
After a moment of silence, Ivan replied in a distant tone, "Yanis is doing well now. Let's not disturb her if
we don't have to."
Ryan wanted to say something more, but the words got stuck in his throat. "I understand," he finally
said.
Ivan responded with a simple "okay" before ending the call.
After Ivan hung up, Ryan let out another sigh and leaned back in his chair, feeling overwhelmed with
thoughts. After a moment of hesitation, he decided to go and see Martin and Olivia. With that in mind,
he called his secretary and asked her to prepare some gifts.
