They face each other, one is resentful, while the other one is deep and serene. On the basis of his old scheme, Lily is not his opponent at all.
Ryan suddenly raises his hand, and the man that followed behind him in the corner immediately steps forward to deliver a thin smoke. The misted smoke blocks them and the atmosphere eases up. However, Lily only feels that this person is insane. Smoking in the cold wind? He might have wasted his time for her.
As time passes, Lily gradually becomes anxious and begins to worry about Abby. She then could not help softening her tone, “Mr. Ryan. I am in a hurry; I’m truly grateful that you’ve helped me, but please let me go….”
“Lily.” Ryan suddenly calls her name, his thick eyebrows gather together a bit, his eyes fall on the cigarette. Wondering what he has been looking at, he smiles, “This is the third time we met.”
The first time, on the outskirts of the fishing pond. The second time, on the island. And the third time, at this moment. He has never had such a relationship with anyone. It is really… marvelous.
“It is indeed a coincidence to meet three times. But I believe this is not a surprising thing for Mr. Ryan.”
Ryan shakes his head, “Everyone who has met me for more than three times—”
He mutters and then moves his hand that is holding the cigarette to his neck and makes a slight gesture. It is obvious what the meaning is.
If it is others, Lily might think that he is exaggerating. But for Ryan… she has seen the appearance of this man holding a gun and did not hesitate to pull the trigger.
