When I Met You novel Chapter 32

Vanessa smiled with hope after she heard of Ryan’s suggestion, “Thanks, Ryan. I realized that a lot of things had changed after I came back which resulted in my anxieties, but now…”

“Thanks. I really thank you. I’m very touched.”

Ryan looked at Vanessa and was moved, “No worries. I’m happy as long as you are.” As he said that affectionately, he placed his hand onto Vanessa’s hand. However, when the hands touched, Vanessa immediately retracted her hand and stood up.

“Ryan, I have something else on. I’ll go and prepare while I wait for your news. Goodbye.” After saying these, Vanessa walked out of the café without looking back. Ryan watched in a daze as Vanessa walked away.

Vanessa, do you know that I loved you as long as you had been loving Edward?

He wrung his hands and suppressed all of his emotions. He took up his phone and instructed the other end, “Tomorrow night I need to entertain a guest at Banya Villa.”

“Yes Sir.” The old steward on the other end of the call quickly answered.

Once that was arranged, Ryan took up his phone and called another person, “The drug that you gave me previously, prepare two more packets for me.”

“Hey… bro, didn’t you say that you don’t need drugs?! With your abilities, which woman can’t you get? Why do you need the drugs? Just drive your car to court the girl!” The other party scoffed.

Ryan was already frustrated but as he thought about what he was going to set up, he became frustrated and was close to erupting. He simply yelled, “Fuck off! Just get them for me!”

Ryan ended the call and drank two cups of coffee before calming down. Then, he picked up his phone again and called Edward.

He changed his tone as soon as he spoke, “Hey, Edward, do you know that Vanessa is back?”

“Yeah.” Edward’s tone was totally cold.

“Tomorrow I have a batch of outstanding wine arriving at the Banya Villa. I’ll invite you guys to come over for some fun. Get Luke, Louis, and your wife along!” Ryan said this very casually.

However, Edward was silent and didn’t say anything for a long time.

“I’m going overseas the day after tomorrow and won’t be back for a while. So…. You must come tomorrow.”

Under normal circumstances, Edward wouldn’t attend if it was some regular event but when it came down to sending off his friend who may not be back for some time, he would attend as he cherished the relationship between friends.

“Okay.” He ended the call after agreeing.

…

Susan didn’t go back to work after she resigned and practically felt boundless emptiness within her. She went to the shopping mall especially to buy Edward a small gift and to broach the issue of the divorce.
