The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 696

Chapter 696 

Finally, Ryan finally found Carrie sitting alone on a swing in the middle 

of a park. 

She was lost in thought.. 

“Carrie…” 

Ryan gazed at Carrie’s delicate silhouette from a few steps away. 

Her jet-black hair was dusted with snow, and a layer of frost stuck to her little red jacket. At a glance, she looked like a little snowman. 

He thought, ‘Silly girl, how long have you been sitting in the snow?’ 

“Carrie, I finally found you.” Ryan’s heart ached as he walked toward 

– her. 

Ryan kneeled in front of the girl, one knee on the ground. His large, 

warm hands tightly covered hers, which were cold from hugging her 

teddy bear. 

“How did you find me?” Carrie blinked in surprise. 

“Carrie, our hearts are connected. No matter where you run off to will find you.” 

Ryan’s heart was overwhelmed with pain. He raised his hand to touch her flushed cheeks gently. 

His voice cracked as he said, “Silly girl, you can never run away from me in this lifetime.” 

Carrie’s gaze fell, and she remained silent. 

“It’s quite cold sitting here. Come, let’s go home together.” 

“Ryan, I want to live with Grandpa.” 

Carrie slowly withdrew her hand from his grasp. “I just called Uncle 

Matt. He’s sending someone to pick me up now.” 

“Carrie, don’t you want me anymore?” Ryan widened his eyes and 

asked meekly. 

Carrie quickly shook her head, biting her lips. “I don’t want to make things difficult for you. I don’t want you to argue with your mom.” 

She added, “Ryan, don’t be angry with your mom anymore. She’s your 

mother. You should listen to her.” 

“But I only want to listen to you.” Ryan’s eyes were tender as he 

brushed off the snow on her shoulders. 

He cradled her rosy face with his palms. He knew her face must be in pain from the cold, and he was hoping this gesture would bring her 

some relief. 

“Ryan, please go home quickly. Uncle Matt will come to pick me soon.” Carrie urged him reluctantly. 

“Carrie, let me ask you something.” Ryan gulped. He smiled at her, but his eyes were red. “Do you love me?” 

Love. 

“Love?” Carrie raised her eyes, her pupils slightly trembling. Her pale lips moved slowly, as if she had lost her ability to speak. For a while, 

she did not utter a single word. 

Ryan’s heart felt heavy and bitter. What was he thinking? Didn’t he say it was enough that he loved her? ‘Ryan, you’re in love with an extraordinary girl… You shouldn’t force her like this…’
