    Chapter 201


    Ryan started to button up his shirt after the call ended.


    His facial features held a pair of deep eyes, high nose bridge, and defining jaw while a cigarette hung from the corner of his


    mouth. All of these,bined with the actions of his slender fingers that were buttoning his shirt, were abination strong


    enough to make one’s heart flutter.


    Audrey''s heart began to pound rapidly yet again.


    Clearing her throat, she turned and headed to the open kitchen to brew a cup of coffee for herself.


    When he disposed of the cigarette and walked over from the balcony, she offered, “I’m making coffee. Want some?”


    “Coffee at thiste hour?” He ced his phone on the dining table before making his way


    to the counter.


    “The results obtained from several experiments were incorrect, but we couldn’t figure out what the cause was yet. I’m going to


    burn the midnight oil to watch the experiment recordings tonight,” she exined.


    With her hands on the coffee machine, she recalled Ryan talking over the phone. “Did something happen within thepany?”


    “No. | left my pajamas in my bedroom. | thought you were resting, so | called Julian to bring me a set of pajamas.”


    The newly changed shirt and cks on him reminded her of something. “It’ste,


    though. You don’t have to trouble him to get ‘em. | can take ‘em for you.”Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Just as she was about to walk past him, he suddenly grabbed her wrist.


    “Hmm?” She looked back at him with a questioning look.


    Ryan stared at her hair and reached out to touch them. “You didn’t dry your hair?”


    “| received a call from a colleague as soon as | finished bathing, so | got busy watching the recordings...” TShe smiled as she


    touched her half—dried hair.


    “I''ll go take the pajamas for you first. Then—Ryan!” She shrieked as he lifted her onto


    the counter.

    “There’s nothing to rush for that. Let’s dry your hair first. Stay here.” He rolled up his sleeves.


    He then took out a hair dryer from the cab by the sink familiarly, as if he had been staying here for a long time. Then, he dried


    her hair for her.


    With Audrey sitting on the counter, it made it just the right height for him to dry her hair. His fingers ruffled through her hair gently


    until her hair was dry.


    This left a lingering scent of the aromatic coffee mixed with Audrey’s hair shampoo in


    the kitchen.


    She jumped off the counter with one hand. “I''ll take the pajamas for you.”


    “Thanks.”


    Like amb running away from a wolf, she ran out of the open kitchen.


    By the time she took out his pajamas from the wardrobe in the bedroom, Ryan was already standing by the door.


    Her fingers tightened subconsciously as she held onto his clothes before handing them over to him. “Here.”


    They had already done the most intimate deed in the world, and yet, just his gaze alone could make her heart race.


    He reached out to yank her into his embrace by her wrist and dug his fingers into her hair.


    “Ryan...” Audrey’s voice trembled..


    “| told you my name.” His voice was deep. “I was adopted, and not a real descendent of the Lambert family.”


    “M-Matthew?” She called with uncertainty.


    “Yes, Audrey.” He dipped his head to kiss her.


    The pajamas fell onto the ground and her grasp tightened around his toned arms as he gained ess through her teeth.


    As he led her into the bedroom, her clumsy steps followed his.
