Meeting The One For Me ( Nathan Franklin ) novel Chapter 197

Chapter 197 

Julian got out of the driver’s seat, smiling. 

“Mr. Lambert happened to see you dining with Mr. Campbell from Evergreen Biotech. Seeing Ms. Yeomans had a bit to drink, he followed to make sure everything was okay.” 

“Well, I didn’t drink much. I just felt a little light–headed from the breeze.” Audrey smiled, then said to Ryan, “I’ve arrived home safely. You should also go back and rest early.” 

As Audrey tried to walk away, she could not move her feet. She realized her heel was stuck in a manhole cover. 

Ryan noticed it, and as he approached from the other side of the car, Audrey had already taken off her shoe. 

With one hand holding onto the car, she bent down to reach for her shoe, revealing her delicate ankles with wounds from the high heels. 

Just as Audrey pulled her shoe out of the manhole, she was suddenly lifted up.

He looked impeccable, showing no signs of strain from carrying her. 

Audrey glanced at Ryan’s reflection in the elevator walls, meeting his eyes beneath his gold–rimmed glasses.

Her ears turned red, and she tightened her grip on her high heels. 

Audrey suddenly understood why so many socialites and top–tier celebrities had mentioned that Ryan fulfilled their fantasies of an ideal partner. 

It wasn’t just because of Ryan’s looks and wealth but also his mature demeanor, which provided a strong sense of security. 

Audrey spoke again as the elevator reached their floor, “Please, let me down now. We’re 

at the entrance.” 

Ryan carried Audrey to the door and asked, “Passcode?” 

“The birthdays of the two kids,” Audrey replied. 

Ryan entered the password, carried Audrey inside, and closed the door with his foot. He then sat her on the couch and tossed his suit jacket to the side.
