The memory Louis had of Ryleigh was when she impressed the crowd on stage back at high school.
He came forward and admitted that Willow indeed had done something like that in the restaurant. However, since Willow hadn’t exposed her identity in front of everyone yet, he couldn’t let the situation get out of hand, so he said, “Both sides are at fault. We can gather up and find a solution afterward. There’s no need to make a scene out of it.”
Ryleigh looked at him and asked, “Are you blind? How could you,”
Russell interrupted before she could finish her sentence, “Shut up, Ryleigh! If I hear another word coming out of your mouth, I’ll punish you when we get home later!
Willow went forward to apologize to him, but he paid him no mind. He looked at Ryleigh, who was exasperated. He did not know why, but he felt that she was actually a pushover, although she looked like a paper tiger.
When Maisie and Nolan appeared, Ryleigh walked up to her and complained, her mouth pouting, “Zee, you’re finally here. I’m so sad…”
As if she had found someone to back her up and that she could do whatever she wanted now, she pulled a funny face at Willow, making Louis feel that she was such a silly and adorable girl
From then on, whenever he saw Ryleigh, he couldn’t control himself from teasing her. When she became angry, he would feel happy. It was like seeing a kitty that got pissed off but refused to stretch its claws out to hurt people.
He had been reluctant to go on a blind date, but when his mother told him that she had spoken to the Hills about an engagement, he did not say no. Larissa looked at him in surprise and asked, “Didn’t you say you don’t like other people to make decisions for you? You refuse to go on blind dates, but you said yes to an engagement?”
He put the book down and lifted his head to look at his mother. “An acquaintance is better than a stranger.”
Of course, it was only his excuse.
However, he was well aware that Ryleigh might not like it, so he said, “Well, since we’re getting engaged, I guess we have to bond first.”
