Her Return, His Regret novel Chapter 13

Chapter 13~ Is Larisa alive?

“He still thinks the world revolves around him,” Lora muttered under her breath.

Ryan had already left but anger was still bubbling up within her.

She returned with a new identity to put her past behind her and start anew but it seemed she became entangled with Ryan and Ivy once again.

Lora’s eyes flashed when she recalled the thug’s words before they set the warehouse on fire. Someone wanted her out of the way and Lora could only assume that it was Ivy.

Now that Ryan was giving her unnecessary attention, Lora knew it was only a matter of time before she became Ivy’s target again.

‘I have to avoid Ryan at all costs to protect myself and my children,‘ she mused. If Ivy knew Lora had Ryan’s kids, only the heavens knew what she would do to them.

Jason saw her expression and asked, “Do you know Ryan?”

It was strange how the man’kept following Lora around.

Lora came back to the present after that question. She smiled and said, “How can I know such an important man? I was just an orphan before my parents found me, remember?”

She had no intention of speaking about her past. After being betrayed, she pulled Ryan out of her heart and life like a tooth that ached and had no plans of looking back.

To her, they were nothing but strangers who just met.

Jason chuckled. He nodded and replied, “You’re right. Ryan is part of a very important family… perhaps. he’s giving you attention because you’re the daughter of Jack Davis.”

Lora shrugged and said, “Maybe… but that’s none of my business.”

When Jason saw how indifferent she looked, his heart calmed down.

“That’s right… such men can never settle for one woman. It’s better to avoid him,” he remarked and they continued to enjoy their meal.

Meanwhile, Ryan was in a bad mood. While seated in the backseat of his car, his jaw was clenched and green veins seemed to be almost popping out of his forehead.

He couldn’t understand why he was so angry but he couldn’t help himself either. Lora’s face kept flashing before his eyes, her image overlapping with Larisa’s.

Ivy glanced at him and jealousy flared through her. Why was he so upset?

It must be because of Lora Davis! She just showed up and Ryan was no longer himself!

‘I have to get rid of her!‘ She said in her mind.

“Ryan…” Ivy called out to him. “When are you coming to see my parents? Dad has been asking about you.”

Ryan frowned. He replied, “When I have time.”

“What about the wedding? I think we should get married now,” Ivy asked, her heart racing.

Ryan looked at her and said, “Let’s discuss this matter later. I’m still busy with company matters.”

Ivy pursed her lips.

Ryan knew what his grandfather was talking about. He must have read the news and seen Lora Davis‘ picture.
