Chapter 108
“Let’s grab something first,” Ryan suggested.
Meanwhile, Joseph squeezed out of the crowd. His initial plan was to leave with Audrey, but unfortunately, Ryan had taken her away.
He frowned and murmured, “Who’s that guy?”
After dinner, Ryan invited Audrey over to the hotel he checked in together.
He reasoned, “I’m sorry to have you match according to my time Just because my schedule is tight. We’re going to register our marriage tomorrow, so let’s prepare the documents needed for it. We can hit the road first thing in the morning tomorrow.”
His justification was reasonable, so she couldn’t turn the suggestion down.
Yvonne volunteered to return to the hotel by cab to get Audrey’s necessities.
The hotel Ryan checked in was close to the restaurant.
Outside the restaurant, Audrey stretched her arms out to catch the snowflakes.
It elicited a smile from him. “The way back to the hotel isn’t piled with snow. Would you like to take a walk back?”
“Sure!” her eyes turned into crescents.
Ryan took the umbrella from Julian, then he took the stairs down alongside Audrey with his arm across her shoulders.
Her hands balled into fists -a sign which showed that she was still not used to his intimate touches.
“Are you going to return to the country after the registration?” A question from her, as well as an attempt to alleviate the awkwardness lingering in the air.
“Yeah, but I’ll come over to visit you some other time,” he answered gently.
The fluttering snowflake induced a grin from her. “It must be warm back in the country.”
As soon as she finished, she noticed Nathan standing nearby with a bouquet.
A crease formed between his brows as he stared in their direction.
Audrey’s smile gradually faded, but she kept walking side–by–side with Ryan.
Nathan’s gaze fell onto Ryan’s arm over her shoulders. This intimacy of theirs very much irritated
him.
But Nathan simply assumed that Ryan was taking care of her as a family member. He approached the duo to greet them.
“Mr. Lambert.” Nathan behaved in front of Ryan.
Chapter 108
Ryan hummed in acknowledgment before asking monotonously, “What are you doing here in Slovomla?”
“I’m accompanying Amelia. She’s here to meet Director White.” Nathan spared Audrey a glance in the
meantime.
