Chapter 145 What did she do? (1/2)

The silence continued on until the car reached the huge mansion. Mei Li stopped the car and watched as Ryn opened the door and got out.

”Pick me up tomorrow at the same time,” Ryn reminded.

”Okay. Your wish is my command,” Mei Li replied dryly. She changed the gear and drove the car away, leaving clouds of dust spreading at where she was before.

Ryn did not watch her leaving. Instead, she went to the door and rang the bell.

It took only two seconds for the butler to open the huge wooden door. He quickly smiled politely and followed behind Ryn.

”Young Master is waiting at the dining room. Would you like to fresh yourself first or...” his words trailed off as he waited for her reply.

”Dinner?” she asked softly.

”Yes, Miss. It is time for dinner,” the butler replied.

”What about Mika?”

”Young Mistress Mika is having dinner with Young Master Jason. I am not sure what time they will return.”

”Hmm...”

The butler waited nervously.

”Lead me to the dining room,” Ryn finally decided. Better for her to eat first. Then, once she had her shower, she could go straight to sleep.

”Certainly. This way, Miss.”

Ryn followed behind the elder man. She was telling herself to memorize the location of each room so she did not have to depend on others just to go to the dining room or swimming pool or anywhere else.

It was frustrating, to be honest, having to depend on others.

Jeremy was leaning his back, reading something on his phone when she entered the dining room. He lifted his face and smiled at her.

”You've just come back? Let's have dinner,” he announced, taking her arm and walked to the dining table. Instead of sitting her opposite him, he put her on his right side. So they would sit close to each other during dinner.

The butler, with a wide grin on his face, quickly rushed to the kitchen to tell the cook to prepare the meals. Finally, the Miss wanted to eat with Young Master alone. They should help their Young Master to win Miss Catherine's heart. He could see from Young Master's attitude, he really did love Miss Catherine. And from what he had seen so far, Miss Catherine did not even care about the family's wealth. She did not even bat an eye seeing the expensive painting and vases, or cooing over the siblings, asking for branded stuffs. What he heard so far regarding branded clothes was Ryn's own complaints about how much the siblings spent for her and reminded them she had her own money. Which both siblings just waved it away and did whatever they wanted.

Ryn placed her phone on the table and looked around. It seemed like the maids had changed the decoration again. She swore the flowers in the vase this morning were red roses and even some morning glories but right now, all she could see was lavender.

It made the room smell nicer and she felt sleepy... actually. Maybe she should skip the meal and go straight to sleep.

Jeremy saw her eyes getting heavier. A chuckle slipped from his lips. He rested his chin on his arm and watched her struggling not to fall asleep.

And when she did, his hand reached to caress her gently.

It did not wake her up.

He smiled. Without a thought, he stood up and scooped her into his arms. It was clear she would not have the mood to eat. She was too exhausted to eat.

What did she do today anyway, to be this exhausted?

The maids watched with their widened eyes as Jeremy brought the sleeping Ryn in princess-style to her room.

”What about Miss Catherine's dinner, sir?” the butler asked slowly.

”Just prepare in case she woke up hungry,” Jeremy ordered.

”As you wish, Young Master,” the butler nodded his head.

Jeremy continued bringing Ryn into her own room. He laid her on the bed and pulled the blanket to cover her body. He smiled seeing her so deep in her sleep, he could not stop himself from pressing a kiss on her forehead and lastly on her lips. It was a light kiss but he felt happy with it.

She looked so adorable and so beautiful, just like an angel.

Although he wanted to share the bed with her, just like in his dreams, he managed to control himself and left the room as quiet as he could. Then, after reminding a maid to always stay alert just in case Ryn needed anything or if she had a nightmare, Jeremy returned back to the dining room to have his dinner... alone.

It seemed like he always had dinner alone lately.

He sighed heavily at the sad thought.

When would be the day he spend his meals with his lovely Ryn? He could not wait to have at least breakfast and dinner with Ryn... every single day.
