Chapter 162 - I want to move out (8) (1/2)

The next day…

Ryn packed her bag carefully and then put it on. Then, she opened the door and nodded at the maid, silently allowing her to bring her to the dining room for breakfast.

When she reached the room, instead of only Jeremy, the couple was there as well. Ryn gave them an awkward smile, especially when she noticed none of them even eating yet. Were they waiting for her?

”Good morning, everyone. Sorry, I am late,” she bobbed her head apologetically.

”Morning, dear. Come, have breakfast together. Jeremy, tell them to bring in the food,” Mrs Long said with a smile. She gestured for Ryn to sit next to her, ignoring the look coming from her son.

Silently Ryn took her seat. If she knew everyone was waiting for her, she should just tell them to eat first last night and she would go eat breakfast outside. This was so awkward.

Hence, she did not eat much for her breakfast, just enough to line her stomach. Then, she excused herself and rushed back into her room to hide. Better to hide in a safe cave rather than in the living room. She did not even stop sending messages to Mei Li, urging her to come quickly.

Please, hurry up. She needed to leave now… now…

Mrs Long threw an accusing look at her son. This must be Jeremy's fault, her heart muttered without a doubt. See how flustered and nervous Ryn was during the breakfast. She did not even finish her porridge!

”It was not me,” Jeremy denied, shaking his head.

”Then?” she narrowed her eyes suspiciously.

”She is always nervous lately. I don't know why. I wonder why too,” Jeremy said.

”That's enough, Love. We don't need to point finger to others. Call them,” Mr Long said firmly.

Mrs Long signalled the maid to call her president and vice president to get the report. If they did not know anything, the household would know. Hence, it would better to ask them rather than making assumptions.

The butler and the cook took the stand in front of the couple with their hands on their sides. They stood still like soldiers.

”Do you have anything to say about Ryn?” Mr Long asked.

The butler looked at the cook. When the cook nodded at him, he took a deep breath and opened his mouth, ”What we know might shock all of you.”

Jeremy frowned. He adjusted his seat to hear clearly.

The butler looked again at his vice president. How to do this without hurting their feeling?

”What do you mean?”

”I am not sure whether you know about this but… Miss Catherine just bought a house,” the butler spoke carefully.

”What? Why didn't I know about this?” Jeremy cried, standing up in shock.

”She wants to move out?” Mr Long asked quietly.

”From what we've learned, yes. She even looked for a house to rent while waiting for the renovation of her new house is done,” the Cook replied.

The butler nodded with her.

”When did she start with this house hunting?” Mrs Long asked.

”Erm... last week if I am not mistaken,” the butler looked at the cook for the confirmation and she nodded. He nodded and looked at his employers, ”Last week.”

Mr Long sighed heavily. It seemed like Ryn was not even 'fall in love' with their family's mansion until she felt like she needed to find another house for her home. He turned his attention to his useless son. Was it Jeremy's fault for his inability to woo Ryn's heart?

”You've got to do something to stop her... unless...” Mr Long paused.
