Chapter 245
A few days ago, Simone asked me if i was suitable.
At that time, nothing had happened yet, so didn’t have any thoughts about it.
But when Bethany suddenly accused me to thy face, blaming me for holding him back, I actually hesitated.
After all, Ryan had been injured repeatedly recently, all because of me,
In that instant when I heard the question, I wondered if everything would be different if he married Bethany
The Shaw family was prominent, and Bethany wouldn’t just cause trouble for Ryan. She could even assist in many ways.
Their union might add up to a number I couldn’t imagine.
But for Ryan and me, it seemed like 1+1=0,5,
The excruciating pain in my lower back from banging into the corner of the cabinet became insignificant.
Looking at Bethany’s resolute appearance, for the first time, I couldn’t come up with a rebuttal
Because of my humble family background, was indeed holding Ryan back, indeed causing his misery.
Causing him to be in the operating room for two or three hours.
Causing him to lie unconscious in the ward for two days and nights.
During my silence, Ryan suddenly chuckled lightly, his voice low and faint, “Miss Shaw, do you not like me either?”
“Who… who said that!” Bethany stiffened her neck, firmly stating, “I do like you. I won’t marry anyone but you!”
“Is that so?”
Ryan reached out to pull me closer, lightly stroking the back of my hand with his thumb. “Do you like me, or do you like the head of the Frost family?”
His obsidian–like eyes rested on me, brimming with emotions. “If I weren’t the head of

the Frost family, she would still be my wife.”
“And you? Would you still only marry me?”
With a few words, he tore away the facade of the prestigious family’s arranged marriage.
Originally, I truly believed that Bethany loved Ryan.
However, after Ryan said those words, Bethany became furious.
“Is this worthless love meaningful at all?! I want to marry you, whether for love or for a powerful alliance, does it really matter?!”
“Then you might as well go find Jack, he’s single.”
Ryan chuckled lightly, playing with my hand, indifferent.
Bethany spoke frankly, “He has a calculating stepmother and a difficult grandmother. It’s too complicated. If he could fully take over the Renolds family, my family would gain a lot of connections and resources. You are more suitable than him. After Mr. William passed away, with the Frost family’s power in your hands and your father’s preference for women, marrying you is like fulfilling the saying of your parents leaving you with everything after they died and you can do whatever you want with them.”
“You are the best choice.”
After she finished, Lauren’s face beside her darkened.
