Meeting The One For Me

Chapter 198

Chapter 198 “Did he help you a lot?” Ryan placed Audrey’s feet on the carpet, tidying up the medicine. box. “Is he pursuing you?”

“Where are you going with that thought? Taylor likes-” Audrey stopped herself, smiling. “He likes someone | know. | drank a bit too much today because of her too.”

Ryan retrieved Audrey’s indoor slippers from the shoe cabinet and placed them at her

feet.

“Thank you!” Audrey put her shoes on and stood up. “Um.... Do you want water or-” she tried to ask him.

“There’s some hangover tea in the upper left kitchen cabinet. I’m feeling a little uncomfortable after drinking today.” “Okay, I'll make you some tea.” Audrey trotted to the kitchen.

She opened the cupboard and reached for the box of hangover tea.

Surprised, she glanced back at Ryan in the living room. She muttered under her breath, There really is hangover tea in the cabinet; he knows my house better than | do.”

After washing her hands and shaking her slightly dizzy head, Audrey prepared the tea and brought it out. At the same time, Ryan emerged from the bathroom.

She placed the tea on the coffee table. “Here’s your tea.”

“Thank you.” Ryan wiped his hands with a tissue and noticed Audrey's flushed face.

He touched Audrey's forehead. “Still feeling dizzy?”

“It's better

maybe | had a bit too much to drink.” Audrey avoided Ryan’s hand, now touching her own forehead instead.

She sat on the couch, trying to find something to say to Ryan. “I heard from Lily and Dallas that you’ve been spending time with them these days. Thank you.”

“Isn't it my duty as their father?” Ryan took off his glasses to wipe them clean. “Besides, you've been raising them abroad all these years by yourself.

“| haven't fulfilled my duties as a father to the two children—and to you. | feel guilty

about that.”

“This has nothing to do with you. | know you wanted to take care of me and the children. It was my decision to leave.”

Maybe it was the alcohol from tonight, but some of the words Audrey had been keeping inside didn’t feel so hard to say anymore. “You've always been there for me, and | owe you a lot. I’ve thought about it; we weren’t divorced yet when | left.”

“Since you say you owe me, perhaps you should think about how to make it up to me.” Ryan looked at Audrey, her pale skin and features flawless under the warm light,

Her elongated eyes were cold and dark, her pupils like a pool of thick black ink. Audrey played with the pillow. Her fingers briefly entangled, and soon her thoughts became jumbled too.

She had openly expressed her feelings to the cold and aloof Ryan on multiple occasions.

It was hard not to be moved by the attention of a man like Ryan. Audrey could feel her heart fluttering. But considering who they were, were they suitable for each other?

In terms of age, Ryan was old enough to be her uncle.

Audrey felt a strong sense of guilt every time she was moved, rendering her afraid to respond. Seeing Audrey’s hesitation, Ryan put on his glasses and pulled Audrey into his arms.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Their eyes met, and Audrey’s heart beat violently.

She was certain this wasn’t fear but a sensation that left her breathless and her whole body tingling. She sat restlessly on Ryan’s sturdy legs.

Audrey wanted to get up, but Ryan held her down.
