359 The call that make him jealous again 01 (1/2)

He smiled seeing her already drifted into the dreamland. He could see how exhausted she was and was unhappy seeing how busy she was. No wonder she kept losing weight even though she ate quite a lot. He saw the amount of food Ryn took just now and it was a usual portion for her.

Hence, he blamed her busy schedule. It made him more determined to make her quit. She should not work after their wedding. He could support her. She could stay with her simple life or being a super-rich wife. She could buy whatever she wanted and he would not say no.

In fact, he would encourage her to enjoy her life.

But then again, it was all up to her. He could not force her to do things she did not want to. But he hoped, he truly hoped she would just let it go and enjoy life.

Sigh. He should take this slowly.

He drove toward his place instead of hers. He noticed she did not have much in the pantry. It was better to go to his place for the night instead of to her place.

He played slow music to accompany them. It was relaxing slow music to accompany Ryn sleeping.

He woke her up when they arrived. He patiently waited for her to wake up completely. But he was ready to carry her upstairs. To his disappointment, he did not have to do so.

Ryn woke up. She looked around sleepily. Luckily for him, she did not get angry seeing where they were. She simply unbuckled the seatbelt and reached for her bag. Then, she opened the door and got out of the car. All without a word to Jeremy.

He chuckled, shaking his head in amused. Then, he shut off the engine and followed behind her. They stood at the elevator, waiting for its door to open. He moved closer to her and tried to wrap his arm around her slim waist. But, she took a step back to avoid it.

He gave her a hurt look. Why would she accept his touch? Was she still angry at him?

It was lucky for him when she allowed him to share the same lift with her.

She entered the house once he unlocked the door. Instead of going to the kitchen, she went straight to the guest room to sleep.

He stopped at the foot of the stairs and watched her with his jaw dropped. She did not even look at him for once.

”Ryn, are you still angry at me?” he asked. But there was no answer from him.

Dropping his shoulders down unhappily, he walked slowly to the kitchen. Even though she did not talk to him, he still needed to check the kitchen just in case she gets hungry in the middle of the night.

So far so good. The pantry was not that full but just in case Ryn wanted to eat something, she could whip something up from it. He poured a glass of water for himself. And then, he poured another glass for Ryn.

She was deep in her sleep, lying on the bed with no care. Her shoes were lying on the floor with her feet hanging. A sock was thrown beside one of the shoes while another was still snugly wrapped around Ryn's foot.

He shook his head seeing her posture. He put the glass of water on the nightstand and then approached her. Without a word, he took off the stocking from her foot. And then, he rearranged her body so she would lie on the bed properly. He pulled the blanket to cover her body. He did not forget to drop a kiss on her forehead and her lips gently. Then, he finally leaned down to collect her socks and shoes.

Time to do some works while waiting for Ryn to wake up.

It seemed like his personal assistant was waiting for his call. When Jeremy called, it took only a ring before Jacob answered the call.

”For the Junxia project, there is a number difference in the contract. Check it back,” Jeremy said straight-forwardly.
