"Mrs. Ravenna''s body is indeed very poor. Besides medication, she also needs emotional support. Good mood is an important factor affecting her condition," Gtea said slowly. "Naturally, I''ve canceled all my work and am staying at home to apany her."


    "That''s good, Gtea said, "Next time, when she has chemotherapy, I''lle again. During this time, if Mrs. Ravenna feels ufortable, you can call me." "Thanks a lot. I have told the kitchen to prepare lunch, and you can stay," Griffon said.


    "No need," Gtea quickly declined. She would rather be hungry than have a meal with Griffon and Orion. "I need to go home and take care of the children."


    "In that case, I won''t keep you." Griffon escorted her to the yard, then suddenly asked, "Gtea, are you and ric getting married soon?"


    Gtea didn''t know how to answer this sudden question. Before she could respond, Griffon continued, "If you two are getting married, I will give my blessings. However, I treat ric like my own son, and no one wants to see their son being deceived. I hope you can be honest with him."


    Herees this question again...


    "I understand," Gtea said slowly. "Well, I should go now, Griffon."


    "Alright, you go home first and rest. You''ve helped me a lot today," Griffon said, arranging a car for her and watching her leave.


    After seeing her leave, Orion still felt uneasy in his heart and looked at Griffon with concern. "Dad, are you sure there won''t be any problems with this?"


    "As long as you don''t feel guilty and don''t reveal anything, there won''t be any problems," Griffon replied.


    Orion fell silent, followed by anger and frustration. She angrily kicked over a flowerpot and cursed, "I feel so powerless right now! I''ve been Duke''s mother for so many years to be his real wife, but in the end, it was all in vain. I hate it! If I knew ric would be so heartless, I wouldn''t have done these stupid things for him."


    Orion truly regretted it now, but it was toote. Griffon said, "Since the situation has already arisen, what''s the point of saying these things? As long as we im ignorance, the me won''t fall on us. Just calm down."


    Hearing Griffon''s words, Orion felt slightly reassured. After all these years, as long as her Dad was with her, there was nothing they couldn''t handle.


    After returning home, Gtea couldn''t stop thinking about Griffon''s words. Did ric really want to marry her and treat her sincerely?


    She shouldn''t have deceived him about her past; it would have been unfair to ric. After careful consideration, Gtea decided to tell him everything that had happened before.


    If he epted it, she would finally be able to release the burden in her heart. If he didn''t, it was better to end things before they truly began.


    After returning from the Nash family, Gtea went to Nexus Innovations. As the Young Madam here, no one would stop her from looking for ric.


    She asked Ss and found out that ric was alone in his office, so Gtea gathered her courage and knocked on the door.


    Since she had decided to move on from the past, she would openly ept what happened. She would tell ric everything about her past without holding anything back. As she thought about it, Gtea felt very nervous and anxious about how he would react.


    "Come in."


    Hearing ric''s voice, Gtea pushed open the door and walked in. ric was surprised to see her. "Why are you here?"


    "I..." Gtea gathered her courage and said directly, "I came to talk to you about something. Do you have a moment now?"


    "Unfortunately, you couldn''t havee at a worse time. The director of the nning Bureau is about to visit the construction site, so I have to go there."


    "Oh, then you go ahead," Gtea replied absentmindedly. Why did shee to him during his work hours? Maybe she was afraid that the courage behind her impulse would disappearter.


    Seeing Gtea looking a bit disappointed, ric smiled indulgently. He got up and walked to her, saying, "I''m pleasantly surprised that you took the initiative toe to thepany. Have you realized and want to go get married to me?" Uh...


    This man really cared about getting married!


    "Don''t look like that, I''m just kidding." ric bent down, looking at her face up close, andughed again in a gentle tone. "Why are you so disobedient? Haven''t I asked you to go home and sleep? Look, you even have dark circles." Gtea hurriedly touched her own eyes, feeling a bit shy from his words. Did she look ugly like this?


    "Go home and get some rest. Take good care of yourself, and I''ll pick you up tomorrow afternoon," ric said, taking her hand. With his touch, Gtea felt a tingle all over her body, as if an electric current was touching her. She let him lead her out.


    "Since I''m going out now, I''ll take you home first." ric held her hand and walked out of his office, then entered the elevator.


    There were only the two of them in the elevator, and ric released her hand, saying, "Everyone in thepany knows that you are my fiancee. You should y this role well."


    With ric''s previous words and actions, his implication was very clear to her. Gtea moved closer, holding his arm with both hands, leaning her body against him.


    "Is this okay?" Gtea asked cautiously.


    "Not too bad," ric smiled satisfactorily. Then, the elevator door opened, and they walked out.


    "Mr. ric, Young Madam," everyone they passed greeted them respectfully.


    It was the first time they had been so intimate in thepany, and after they passed, there was a buzz of envy and discussions about her.


    After they left thepany, Gtea said, "If you have something to do, go ahead. I can walk back by myself."


    "Mhm," ric responded lightly. "As soon as you get home, go to sleep immediately. If you''re not obedient, I''ll have to punish you."


    "Got it." Gtea kindly reminded him, "You go first. Be careful at the construction site."


    Just as Gtea finished speaking, ric quickly pecked a kiss on her lips, then turned and got into the car. The car had driven away, and Gtea seemed to still be in a daze. Feeling particrly slow, she touched her lips with her hand and suddenly sensed a sweetness. She also felt the same excitement and itchiness as when she first fell in love. This man imed he wasn''t a yer, but every time he initiated something with her, he abruptly stopped at the crucial moment. Isn''t that exactly deliberate?


    Even though she had been in a rtionship before, she still couldn''t take the initiative in matters of the heart.
