Chapter 341 Ronan Had Changed
I felt even more upset as I listened to the sad, depressing love songs. Since when did Ronan listen to those songs too? A man like him should listen to more catchy songs.
Ronan had changed a lot. He started to feel like a stranger to me.
Moreover, that was not a good thing to see.
Ronan’s expression turned a little awkward as soon as he sensed the change in atmosphere. He turned off the music immediately.
I turned around to look at him with a serious expression. “Ronan, I hope that you’re still the same as in the past. I don’t like the way you’re behaving right now.”
I liked Ronan better back when he was carefree. Although he was more steady and mature now, he did not look as cheerful as before.
Caught by surprise, Ronan froze momentarily before turning around to look at me. His eyes were brimming with complicated emotions.
After some time, Ronan asked frankly, “Anna, will you fall in love with me if Michael doesn’t exist?”
He slowed down his car as he waited for my response.
In fact, he had asked me the same question back then. However, I managed to avoid answering him. I had never thought that he was still curious about the answer.
Ronan was a good man. I enjoyed having him around because he could make me feel younger and happier. Although he looked like an irresponsible man, he was wise and rational. Otherwise, he would not be able to manage such a grand hospital on his own.
In fact, if Michael was not here, I might really be attracted by Ronan. I liked his young and lively aura, and I was relaxed when I was with him. When he was around, I would forget about the hustles of life.
Ronan and I looked at each other for a moment without saying anything. Finally, I gave him the answer he wished to hear. “If Michael doesn’t exist, I might fall for you.”
I was serious about my response. Perhaps, that’s also a way to make him give up on me.
Ronan did not expect me to say that. He froze with his eyes widened, not gaining his senses for some time.
A moment later, a smile appeared on his handsome-looking face. But then, I also noticed the tears in his eyes.
Although he managed to stop his tears from falling, his eyes turned red at that moment.
I stared at his eyes for a long time. I could not bring myself to see how sad he was, so I really wished that he could fall in love with someone else right then. Perhaps in that way, he would stop feeling so heartbroken.
“Don’t worry. I won’t cling to you after hearing your answer. I treat you as a friend and nothing more. I’ll make sure not to trouble you by protecting you silently.” Ronan shifted his attention back onto the car as if nothing had happened.
I got even more upset upon hearing that. Ronan says that he’ll protect me silently, but I’ll never get to return anything to him.
I glanced at his face quietly, feeling overwhelmed with mixed feelings.
