    “That’s not true. If it weren’t for Professor Dous engaging with people at the top and making


    connections, where would the funding for ourboratorye from?” Justin smiled while rubbing Daphne’s head.


    He said looking at Joseph, “We have a social butterfly here. For this exchange meeting, just let Audrey


    have fun. Leave the rest to him!”


    “Don''t worry, I''ll take good care of Audrey!” Joseph assured.


    At 7:30 pm, a light rain began to fall in Cloudmill.


    Standing on the steps of theboratory building, Audrey tightened her coat. She looked up at the rain and was about to run back


    to the dormitory to get an umbre when a ck car stopped at the


    entrance.


    Ryan, dressed in a suit, got out of the car with an umbre and walked up the steps. “Let’s go,” he


    said.


    With a height of six feet two inches, even standing a step below Audrey, Ryan’s umbre easily


    covered her head.


    Audrey adjusted the bag on her shoulder, lowered her head, and walked down the steps. “Thank you,”


    she said.


    “Be careful not to slip.” Ryan casually put his arm around Audrey''s shoulder, protecting her under the umbre as they


    descended the steps.


    Audrey nervously nced at the arm around her shoulder. The hand wearing a brown leather watch had slender and powerful


    joints. It was different from the mboyant youthfulness of Nathan, possessing fair and delicate skin full of masculine strength


    and tension.


    The familiar yet foreign masculine scent enveloped Audrey, and she instinctively tightened her grip on her bag. It was only when


    they got into the car that her intense heartbeat finally calmed down.


    “Have some of this.” Ryan opened a thermos and handed it to Audrey. “The temperature is just right.”


    Audrey took a sip, feeling the richness of the hot cocoa on her lips. “Thank you.”


    When the two returned to the apartment, the housekeeper had just left, and the food on the table was still warm.


    Ryan took off his coat, and his face showed no expression. He only said to Audrey, “Let''s discuss after


    dinner.”Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    She nodded.


    After dinner, Ryan poured a cup of warm water for Audrey and sat on the single couch next to her.


    He said, “I’ve obtained all the details of Professor Dous’ itinerary and the list of personnel for the


    Chacter 91

    exchange meeting. Professor Dous and Professor Ilyich from Saint Pa University have simr research directions and


    reached a cooperationst year.


    “After this exchange meeting, both Sides will send their students to each other’sboratories for at least two years. Your ability to


    speak Runion is an advantage, so you can work there during that time.”


    Ryan handed a tablet to Audrey. “These are a few ces closest to Saint Pa University. You can choose the one you like.”


    While Audrey was checking out the houses, Ryan told her about the arrangements for bodyguards, nannies, assistants, and


    drivers rted to her trip to Runa. He assured her that they were all reliable people.


    Audrey looked at Ryan and said, “There are some things | need to rify with you in advance. I’m sorry, but | have to consider


    the well-being of the Lambert family, so | can’t let anyone know the


    child is yours,”


    Ryan’s expression remained unchanged as he looked at Audrey.


    “| think if we don’t let others know that the child is yours, then...” Audrey lowered her eyes. “In case someone from the Lambert


    family or Mr. Lambert Senior finds out, you can always say that you helped me out of consideration for the Lambert family. That


    way, it won''t implicate you.”


    “So, you have no ns of marrying me?” Ryan’s Adam''s apple moved slightly. “Do you want our child to be a secret love


    child?”
