Chapter 252
“It’s my fault,” he spoke with guilt, bending down to pull me into his embrace. His tone was both self- reproachful and gentle. “I didn’t understand you enough before. I only thought you were independent and resilient, but I never considered understanding you from a husband’s perspective and caring for you properly.”
“But I will make an effort in the future.”
After saying this, as if lacking the courage to wait for my refusal, he added, “I’m going to the office now. Enjoy your breakfast. If you want anything else, just let me know, and I’ll bring it to you tomorrow.”
“Ry…”
Before I could say anything, he had already left.
Looking at the steaming breakfast on the table, I sat down again and started eating.
No matter what, food shouldn’t be wasted.
For several days in a row, Ryan appeared at my door on time every morning like clockwork.
If I didn’t open the door, he wouldn’t press further but would just leave a note on it.
Every breakfast was different and accompanied by a sticky note.
“Albert didn’t tell me anything today. I remember you really liked these breakfasts when you had them at the Frost family’s residence.”
“The weather forecast says it will snow this Sunday. How about we make a snowman together?”
“When will you open the door for me?”
“Charlotte, I miss you.”
I held the sticky notes in my hand, feeling a bit melancholic.
If I had known it would come to this, why bother in the first place?
That day, the doorbell rang incessantly, with a persistent attitude as if he wouldn’t leave until I opened the door.
Reluctantly, I had to open it.
“I need to say something to you in person today.”
Ryan didn’t come in but kept his dark eyes were fixed on me, continuing without much introduction, “No matter what happens recently, you have to trust me, okay?”
I instinctively felt a bad premonition. “What do you mean?”
“Nothing.
His cool hand touched my head, and he said earnestly. “You just need to take care of yourself. Don’t listen to, look at, or believe anything else.”
After he spoke, his phone rang again.

He pulled it out, glanced at it with a somber expression, and handed me the breakfast. “I might not have time to come by for a while, but someone will deliver food to you. Eat well and take care of yourself.”
Then he answered the call, his expression stern as he left.
Could it be that the matter with Zack wasn’t resolved yet?
But Zack shouldn’t be causing Ryan to be so tense.
After finishing breakfast, I checked the news online but didn’t find anything particularly important.
In the afternoon, I received a WhatsApp message from Frank.
“It’s almost time to pick up the person. Don’t forget.”
