Chapter 182 The Girl You Like is My Wife


    When Gtea heard these words and saw ric''s posture, she was stunned. ric was going to carry her.


    "ric, don''t act like a child. You''re still saving face at this point!"


    Upon hearing this, ric exined helplessly, "Honey, I want to carry you because I''m really fit. It has nothing to do with saving face."


    Seeing that Gtea still didn''t believe him, ric smiled wryly again and said, "I used to be a special forces soldier. I carried weights twice your weight during training. Hurry up!"


    This time, ric was giving a direct order. Gtea could tell that if she didn''t let him carry her, it would hurt his pride.


    "Fine, but you really need to be careful. If you can''t carry me, just put me down."


    "If I can''t carry you, I''ll put you down. Come up quickly."


    Gtea could only obediently climb onto ric''s back, feeling very rxed as he lifted her up. She naturally rested her head on his shoulder.


    ric couldn''t help but smile at this, proceeding to walk forward with her on his back.


    "Is carrying me morefortable than carrying those heavy weights during your training?" Gtea asked.


    "How can carrying weightspare to carrying my wife? That was hard work. This is happiness," ric said.


    "You''re getting more and more smooth-talking."


    "That''s only for you. No one else will see this side of me," ric replied.


    "Alright, I''m honored to see this side of Mr. ric," Gtea''s eyes curved into a crescent moon as she smiled happily.


    After that, ric continued to carry Gtea back to Nexus Innovations. When they returned to the rest area, they found that her home was already dark.


    Harry and Elisa were already asleep, always so reassuring.


    Back in the rest area, ric and Gtea took a bath together, which was veryfortable after the long journey back. Gtea eventually becamezy in the tub, and ric carried her out of the bathroom and into the bedroom.


    cing Gtea on the bed, ric propped his hand on the side of her face, his gaze incredibly captivating.


    "What are you up to now?" Gtea said, "You just got better today, don''t mess around."


    "Sometimes, Mrs. Knight, you really have a short memory. I''ve said it before: thest thing a man wants is to be doubted," ric replied.


    Gtea was truly exasperated. She now understood ric''s thought process, but it seemed toote.


    When she realized that ric really had those intentions, Gtea was at a loss for words.


    "Once you start in that thing, can you stop?" Gtea asked.


    "Are you being so direct?" ric pretended to think for a moment and answered seriously, "It just means that you are so charming that I can''t resist."


    Gtea was speechless.


    She couldn''t resist what followed, but ric had learned his lesson. Last time, she asked him to take precautions, and this time he did.


    After it was over, Gtea said, "Alright, let''s just sleep. The medication reaction is gone; there is no need for this."


    "Yes, no need for it. Let''s sleep."


    After saying that, ric hugged Gtea, and they both closed their eyes.


    They slept embraced, always having very good sleep quality, waking up when it was light out.


    It was the second day without medication reactions, and ric was back to his usual self, needing to attend to some work.


    "I have some work to take care of today; you rest here," ric said.


    "You go ahead with your work; I n to go find Cormac and ask about Ravenna Nash," Gtea said. "Although Orion and his daughter aren''t friendly to us, Ravenna Nash is genuinely kind. It''s troubling to see her suddenly like this, and Cormac has always been good to me."


    "Alright, have James Smith apany you. Call me if you need anything," ric instructed.


    "Got it," Gtea nodded.


    After Gtea contacted Cormac, James escorted her there. Once Gtea left thepany, ric pondered for a moment and then instructed Ss to bring Ambrose over.


    Ambrose arrived promptly, maintaining his usualposed and serious demeanor.


    "Mr. ric, what can I do for you?" Ambrose asked.


    "Yes, Ss mentioned that you came to see me when I wasn''t in the office before."


    "Yes, because the project deadline was moved up, so some progress schedules were readjusted. I wanted to show them to you, but you weren''t there that day."


    "Such minor matters should be coordinated with the head of the engineering department; there is no need for you toe personally."


    "I see; I made a big deal out of it," Ambrose said. "If there are simr issues in the future, I''ll directly coordinate with the engineering department and won''t bother you."


    "Okay," ric added directly, "Ambrose, weren''t you previously employed at the Storm Group? I recently came across the Storm Group''s bankruptcy. It is quite a pity that such a prominentpany copsed."


    ric brought up the Storm Group again, and Ambrose naturally understood his implication.


    "The bankruptcy of the Storm Group happened seven years ago. Why was there a sudden interest in events from seven years ago, Mr. ric?" Ambrose inquired.


    "As businesspeople, we must always be prepared for the worst. Whether it''s sess or failure, there are lessons to be learned. The bankruptcy of apany as influential as the Storm Group teaches valuable lessons," ric exined.


    "Mr. ric, your foresight is truly admirable. The bankruptcy of the Storm Group was due to Mr. Storm Senior''s mismanagement andck of integrity. It proves that honesty is crucial in any endeavor, or consequences will follow," Ambrose remarked.


    "You phrase it well, CEO Ambrose. But there''s one thing that truly amazes me. At the time of the Storm Group''s copse, Brennan Stormmitted suicide, other shareholders went to jail, and everything fell apart. How did you manage to walk away unscathed?" ric''s tone was probing.


    Ambrose''s smile faltered at this point. "It was just luck. I happened to resign a few days before the Storm Group''s troubles began, so it was purely fortunate."


    "To resign just before the troubles started, you were indeed lucky," ricmented.


    Ambrose didn''t want to delve into the matter, but ric''s insinuations were bing more direct, so beating around the bush was pointless.


    "Mr. ric, your words seem to carry implications; why not be direct?" Ambrose asked.


    "In that case, let''s be direct. The current Gtea is the former Sten Storm, your ex-girlfriend," ric stated inly.


    "I remember when we first dined together, you mentioned your special feelings for Arizona because the girl you liked was there. At that time, I never imagined that the girl you''ve always liked turned out to be my wife."
