    Audrey panted heavily. The confined space of the car seemingly filled only with her breathing and heartbeat. Her palms were


    sweaty.


    He kneaded the back of Audrey’s neck and kissed her swollen lips again lightly. “Audrey, my desire for you goes beyond your


    imagination, even more so than Nathan’s initially! I’ve been restraining myself. | don’t want to intrude on your life, and | especially


    don’t want to frighten you! But ever since that night, it’s like I’ve broken through some kind of barrier, and my desire can no


    longer be restrained, it’s even getting wilder and wilder. Therefore, | can’t let you go.”


    The intense heartbeat left Audrey numb. She stared at the man in front of her, with his tall nose and sharp features.


    The man who had always been cold and quiet with little to say was now using the most straightforward way to tell her about his


    uncontroble desires. It was hard for her not to panic.


    “|... |came back for Aunt Anne and Harper.” Audrey''s voice trembled slightly.


    Ryan responded, “I know. | support everything you do, and I''ve never intervened in the past four years, but don’t push me away!


    Don’t leave my sight again.”


    Audrey held onto Ryan’s sturdy wrist. “Let’s go back first. Lily is asleep. It’s not safe to stay by the


    roadside.”


    Ryan looked back at Lily, who was asleep in the child seat. He reached out to touch Lily’s slightly cold little feet, then took off his


    suit jacket and covered her legs with it before restarting the car.


    When the car stopped under thendmark t building in Mythravia’s downtown area, Audrey was a bit surprised. “Where are


    we?”


    Ryan unbuckled Audrey’s seatbelt. “I don’t usually stay here. You and the child can stay here temporarily. It’s more suitable for


    you to stay here than in a hotel. You''ll have a housekeeper to take care of your meals, and I''ll feel more at ease.”


    Audrey grabbed his wrist. “Ryan, after | finish a few things in Mythravia, I''ll take the child to Sheysea City. We won''t stay here for


    long. Wouldn’t it be too much trouble?”


    “If you''re not staying here for long, what’s the trouble?” Ryan asked in return.


    Following that, Audrey watched as Ryan carefully wrapped Lily, who was sleeping soundly, in his suit jacket. Then, he picked up


    the little one, and pulled the suitcase. She had no choice but to follow him upstairs.


    Afterying Lily on the soft big bed and covering her with a nket, Ryan came out of the bedroom and saw Audrey on the


    balcony outside the windows while making a call. He went to the kitchen to pour her a ss of water.

    “| bumped into Mr. Lambert when | came out of the airport. I’m at Mr. Lambert''s ce now,” Audrey honestly told George.


    After a moment of silence on the other end of the line, George spoke in a calm tone, “That’s fine. You''ll be joining Lambert


    Corporation after you’ve taken care of Sheysca City. There’s still plenty of room for you and Ryan to work together. Besides, he’s


    also your uncle. When Wanda and | are gone, we''ll need the two of you to support each other.”


    Audrey clutched her cell phone tightly. She was too guilty to respond.


    “Send Lily here tomorrow. Don’t take the child to Sheysea City,” George said. He missed Lily.


    “Okay!” Audrey replied.


    George paused for a moment before continuing to say, “Let’s have dinner together tomorrow.”


    This was the first time in many years that George had invited Audrey to dinner. She felt nervous.


    Audrey frowned. “But I’m worried it might upset her. I''ll just drop the child off at the door and leave.” “Give it a try. If Wanda


    doesn’t react right when she sees you, can leave immediately.” George said.
