Ryan was dumbfounded. He clenched his jaw. Caught off guard, he was unable to react right away due
to the sudden shock.
Bella saw that he did not react and thought that he was a coward.
She burst out laughing and said, âBack then, you had the guts to say
to my face that you wanted to marry me. Now that Iâm asking you if you dare to marry Carrie, why have
you suddenly become mute? Or is it that, in your eyes, Carrie is the Salvadorsâ least significant
daughter, so thereâs no value for you in marrying Carrie? All sheâs worth is to be
hidden away as your secret lover, huh?â
âBella Thompson! You-!â Ryanâs blood was boiling. This was the first
time he had ever gotten mad at Bella.
He could finally understand why Justin vomited blood.
Justin must have been provoked by her!
âAlright, thereâs no point in me saying too much. I respect a
true love in this world, but I donât want Carrie to suffer with yo
Thinking of Carrie, who had suffered so much in the Salvador f Bella teared up a little. âSheâs already
had a very hard life. I donât w
her to suffer even more. Ryan, the world you live in is too
complicated. Its weight might be unbearable for a simple girl like
Carrie. Just think about what I said carefully.â
After sending Justin to the hospital, Ryan dragged his exhausted tbody back home.
Chapter 62H
Right, home.
Now, he referred to the villa he shared with Carrie alone as home.
He might have a mother and a sister, but ever since his father passed
away, his mother had become depressed, often going abroad to get
treatment, while his sister studied overseas. The vast Hoffman.
residence was always cold and quiet, never lively.
Yet, the past few days he had spent with Carrie had made him feel
comfortable, relaxed, and warm.
He even greedily hoped that days like these would last forever.
âHowâs Carrie doing?â Ryan asked Yasmin urgently the moment he
walked in.
Yasmin frowned worriedly and sighed. âMs. Salvador is in her room. I
kept trying to coax her to sleep, but it seemed like she was still in shock. She just wouldnât close her
eyes. Itâs quite heartbreaking
see.â
Upon hearing this, Ryan felt his throat choke up with guilt, and he
walked upstairs with heavy steps.
âIâll go sit with her.â
âMs. Hoffman, what are you planning to do with Ms. Zoe?â Yasmin
hesitated for a moment but still asked.
âYasmin, donât you think Iâm really useless sometimes?â Ryan asked
glumly with his back toward her.
Yasmin was taken aback.
She had been working for Ryan for 10 years now, and he had always been a proud and unyielding
man. He had never looked so lonely and
unsure of himself before.
âMr. Hoffman, youâve always been a godlike existence to me. Why do you say that?â
âBecause I didnât raise my sister properly and even allowed Carrie to
get hurt. To be honest, I donât know what I should do either.â
When Ryan remembered how Zoeâs face twisted viciously as she
abused Carrie, he felt defeated. âAt most, all I can do is send her back. to Inalia. But is that going to
solve the problem?â
âMr. Hoffman, letâs go about it slowly. As long as you donât give up on Ms. Salvador, no matter how
much Ms. Zoe dislikes it, sheâll accept this reality.â
Ryan arrived at the door to Carrieâs room, calmed himself, opened the door.
âCarrie? Iâm back.â
