Chapter 246

As the words fell, his fingertip lightly traced the palm of my hand, like a feather scratching, sending a tingling sensation that flowed through my entire body like electricity.

Bethany’s face stiffened for a moment. “You can divorce even after marriage. You originally planned to divorce, right?”

Ryan frowned. “Can’t you see it?”

“What?”

“I don’t want to divorce.”

His expression seemed casual yet serious at the same time. “And I’m actively pursuing my wife.”

I stared at him in bewilderment, unsure if he was speaking sincerely or just using it as a reason, an excuse to reject Bethany.

Bethany gritted her teeth inwardly, a hint of unwillingness flickering on her face, but quickly, she smiled confidently.

“Ryan, maybe we haven’t known each other for long enough. You don’t know how rebellious I am, pampered by my parents. I’ve never experienced not getting what I want. The more devoted you are, the more I want to become Mrs. Frost and see how happy I can be!”

She was so different from Jessica.

Jessica still needed to maintain a facade in public, but she scorned such behavior. She didn’t even bother to hide her true feelings, let alone act.

Anyway, the Shaw family had her back, so she didn’t need to pretend.

After saying that, she walked out in high heels like a proud princess.

Lauren also sensed Ryan’s markedly different attitude today, hesitating to speak.” Ryan…”

“Lauren, let Gary arrange for a driver to take you home,” Ryan averted her gaze and spoke indifferently.

Lauren’s mouth was left agape, hesitating for a while before reluctantly leaving.

Before leaving, she glared at me resentfully

I was puzzled. “Your attitude towards Lauren seems different?”

“I found out.” Ryan smiled wryly, disappointment and guilt in his eyes. “I didn’t dare believe what you said at the time, but it condemns my mother… so I investigated.”

I looked at him unexpectedly. “Then why didn’t you…”

“Send her away?”

He suppressed his emotions, his eyes narrowing slightly. “The current situation of the company is not suitable for more trouble. But there are countless ways to handle this.*

I nodded and didn’t say anything further

How to deal with Lauren was a matter for the Frost family, not me

I calmed my thoughts, withdrew my hand, and prepared to look at the document he had just mentioned had issues, but he held my hand back.

He looked up, his eyes deeply fixed on me. Honey, besides you, I have nothing”

Starting to play the victim now

I avoided his gaze. Well, funny enough, neither do L. I’ve experienced countless times what it’s like to have nothing when you break your promises.”

“Right back at you. I still have a lot more to say

Ryan squeezed my hand. “You can have more in the future, a lot more

‘But I’m already used to it”

I took a deep breath, calmly looking at him. Tm not like Bethany. The more she can’t have, the more she wants, because she’s the precious daughter of the Shaw family rarely facing any disappointment. But I’m not her. There are too many things i can’t get, so I learned to give up from a young age

All trials, bravery, and finally bearing the consequences were mine alone

But I forgot that in a way, Ryan was similar to Bethany

He stared at me directly, his thin lips parting slightly as he softly coaxed. “It’s okay.

I

from now on, take the next ninety–nine steps. You just wait there obediently and

don’t step back on the last step.”

“Charlotte, I’m serious and I will make it up to you.”

“I don’t want to lose you.”
