Chapter 400 A Mood He Didn’t See Coming
Ryan checked the time. “She’s still napping? It’s already five. Aren’t you guys going to wake her up? won’t be able to sleep tonight.”
He had no idea what had happened while he’d been away.
Keith, of course, wasn’t about to walk around with bruises on his face. Earlier, he’d kept them just to up the sympathy in front of Ava. After that, he pulled out some Holcomb meds and handed out a v each of them. The bruises were gone in no time.
Keith smiled. “Why don’t you go wake her?”
Ryan shot him a suspicious look. “Since when are you this nice? You messing with me?”
Even as he said that, he was already heading upstairs.
Ethan called after him, “Ryan, don’t disturb her.”
“It’s fine,” Ryan said. “I’ll just go say hi.”
He hadn’t seen her in days. The urge to see her right away drowned out any concern about the others expressions as he happily went upstairs.
Mason propped his chin on one hand, watching Ryan’s back. “After all these years in showbiz, he’s still a lovestruck kid at heart.”
Ryan reached the second floor and knocked lightly on Ava’s door. “Ava, it’s almost five. Don’t sleep all d -wake up.”
There was no response.
“Ava… if you don’t answer, I’m coming in.”

“Get out!” Ava shouted.
Ryan froze on the spot. “Ava… are you not feeling well? I just got back. You don’t want to see me?
“I’ve been thinking about you the whole way back. As soon as I landed on Capitol Planet, I had Soren brin me straight here.
“Ava…”
He cautiously took another step forward.
Ava was already in a bad mood. Hearing him talk only made her more irritated.
She sat up in bed and snapped at him.

Ryan immediately pulled his foot back and stood still.
“What’s wrong? Ava, I just wanted to see you.”
Ava ran a hand through her hair. Seeing him standing there, unsure what to do, she realized she’d: at him for no reason. She’d taken her frustration out on him.
She gestured for him to come over.
Ryan walked over and crouched down in front of her. “Ava, if you’re in a bad mood, I can tell you something funny. This time when we went out…”
Ava listened quietly as he rambled on about everything he’d seen on the trip, clearly trying his best make it sound entertaining.
Ryan chuckled a couple of times while talking. When she didn’t laugh, he let out an awkward laugh a scratched his head. “Guess I’m not great at telling stories.”
