A Bird in the Cage novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24 Call Me Hubby 1

Tears slipped down Catherine’s cheeks and fell into the box of food. Ryan, who was hiding in the dark, put away his smile and drew his brows together.

At that moment, Catherine looked like a young married woman who had been bullied, crying alone while eating.

She even let the tears fall down her cheeks without wiping them and continued stuffing food into her mouth as if venting her anger.

‘Didn’t she say that she loves the food from The Bright Orchid? Why does she look so distressed?What a complicated woman!’ Ryan assumed she must have invested too many emotions into acting, so now she was holding a

pity party for herself, even when no one was around.

“Stop crying, Catherine! That b*st*rd is just trying to intimidate you. Won’t he be cackling in the dark if he sees you in this state? Finish up your food. One day he’ll get what’s coming to him.

Wiping her tears, she continued eating in silence.

‘Look at what you’ve done for her. But does she even appreciate it?’ Ryan’s inner voice rang. He felt like a loving fool. She even cursed him for all he had done!

At that moment, he decided he would never do such a stupid thing for her anymore. Otherwise, he would only be treated as a joke by her.

In a huff, Ryan returned to his study room, but he tripped after accidentally kicking an antique porcelain vase placed in the corner of the room.

Luckily, the porcelain was of good quality, so it didn’t break. It rolled on the ground, but Ryan sprained his foot.

“Who’s there?!” Catherine screamed and ran out of the dining room. She saw Ryan sitting on the ground grabbing his foot with a pained look on his face.

“Why are you here?”

“I’ve got my comeuppance. Are you happy now?” Ryan didn’t look up at her when he said those words in an icy cold tone. He merely held onto his poor feet.

Catherine realized he was probably trying to enter the study room from the dining hall, so she suspected him of having eavesdropping on her just now.

Even though she was a little awkward, Catherine

was delighted to see him suffer.

What he said was right. The Gods listened to her prayer and gave him what he deserved.
