Chapter 1446

Madeline was too lazy to explain anymore, so she left after saying that.

However, after she took a few steps forward, Ryan suddenly grabbed her.

Madeline was annoyed. When she was desperately trying to get away, she did not expect Ryan to grab her by the waist and pick her up bridal style.

“Don’t be scared. I won’t do anything to you.” Ryan comforted her. He was worried that Madeline would do something extreme while resisting him.

He carried Madeline to the bed in the bedroom. When he saw her trying to get up, he grabbed her shoulders and pushed her back down.

“Eveline, I don’t want to hurt you again. As long as you sleep quietly, I won’t do anything to you.” Ryan had a serious look on his face as he stared into Madeline’s sharp and obstinate eyes. “I just hope the woman I love can accompany me obediently for one night. We don’t have to do anything. I just want you by my side.”

“Ryan, you’re still so selfish,” Madeline mocked but had already stopped resisting.

After experiencing the pain that caused her to be riddled with scars, she did not want to let her body experience any harm again.

She wanted to go back to Jeremy healthily and in one piece.

Ryan noticed that Madeline’s eyes were gradually starting to soften. He lay down on the other side of the bed in relief.

Madeline turned her body sideways with her back facing Ryan.

Ryan turned his body as well and looked at Madeline’s back as she was lying sideways. Then, he reached out his hand slowly. When he was about to touch Madeline’s hair, he retracted his fingers inch by inch.

“You should know what it feels like to love but not get it in return,” Ryan said flatly to Madeline’s back.

“How did you feel the years when Jeremy let you down?”

“I think I felt differently from you. At least, I didn’t force things like you,” Madeline replied coldly and proceeded to ignore Ryan.

Even though Ryan said he would not do anything to her, Madeline was constantly on high alert.

In the middle of the night when she felt Ryan’s steady breathing after he fell asleep, she got up and got out of bed.

Madeline did not have anything to communicate with the outside world, but she hoped Ryan had one.

She carefully approached Ryan’s side of the bed and reached out her hand to feel the pockets of Ryan’s coat and pants. However, she found nothing.

Ryan did not have a phone with him as well.

Madeline got up and walked to the door quickly. Ryan would only come over in the morning, but today, he came over at night. It was impossible for him to just appear out of nowhere.

Madeline ran to the side of the house and came to the seaside where she tried to find the boat Ryan came here with. Eventually, she found a small yacht.

She walked over, but when she saw the controls on the yacht, she was lost.

She did not know how to drive a yacht, so it was obvious she could not escape using this method.

However, if she did not utilize this opportunity, she did not know how long she would be stuck here.

Madeline was looking at the controls. When she was trying to figure out how to start the thing, she heard footsteps approaching her from the back.

“Are you trying to escape again?” Ryan’s voice slowly sounded.

Madeline knew it was Ryan, so she was not nervous. She turned around calmly. “Do you think I’d stay here to bill and coo with you instead of running away?”

Ryan laughed after he heard that. “I just want you to spend my final month with me here.”

“Do you think I’ll do it just because you want me to? What about my life? What about my family?”

Madeline felt that this was preposterous. “Ryan, are you still not awake even when we’ve come to this?”

Madeline said that and walked forward.

When she walked past Ryan, he grabbed her arm suddenly.

Madeline lifted her sharp eyes without showing any weakness. “Let go.”

Ryan did not let go and curled the corners of his lips profoundly. “Since you want to leave, then why don’t we play a game? If you win, I’ll personally send you away from this place.”
