Chapter 583: This Is Already All I Have
Eunice goes upstairs with two steps at a time and arrives at home. Thomas and Lorraine are both at
home. Lorraine is preparing to stir-fry dishes such as scrambled eggs with tomatoes and spinach with
mustard. These are Eunice’s favourite food.
Eunice puts the roast duck in the kitchen and hurriedly speaks, “Mom, you set up the te, I’ll go
downstairs now and will be back soon!”
“Go downstairs? I thought you just came up here, what are you going to do?”

“I’ll go to the convenience store and take a look.” Eunice simply finds an excuse, takes a white
envelope out of her bedside cab and hides it in her pocket. Then, she runs downstairs in a hurry.
She trots to a car and gets in after opening the car door. She is afraid of being seen by the people in
the same neighbourhood as her.
Ryan looks at her panicked appearance and frowns slightly, “Why do you run in a hurry?”
“Ah…nothing, I’m afraid that I’ve made you wait too long.” Eunice is a little nervous as she sits on the
passenger seat beside him once again.
Ryan looks askance at her and does not ask any further question. He says straight to the point, “The
reason Ie to find you today is because of Adair.”
“Adair?” Eunice looks at him in surprise.
Ryan avoids seeing her eyes and his face still does not show any expression. He looks very cold and
indifferent, “Well, he keeps telling me that he wants to see you and asks me to ask you when you will
be free.”
Hearing him saying that, disappointment rises in Eunice’s heart and her hands which are put on her
knees are clenched. Then, she faintly speaks, “I may have no time for these few days, but I am free on
the weekends.”
No time?
Ryan looks at her without any expressional change, “You’re busy with part-time jobs?”
“No.” Now only Eunice remembers that she has not told him about the matter that she goes to school.
So, she shares with him in a happy mood, “My mom is out of the hospital so I can go back to school
and continue my studies.”
Ryan knows her family’s financial situation and her personal situation. It is just that he has seen her
running around various ces to work every day so he almost forgets that she is still a student.
She is only a young woman in her early twenties, which is the age to study.
“Congrattions, you’ve led the life you have been craving for.”
It is rare for Ryan to say something serious and Eunice bes slightly rxed after hearing his
words. She does not dare to look at him but gazes at two trees outside the car window, “I really
appreciate you because if you did not offer me some money, my mother maybe wouldn’t have had the
surgery so soon. Thanks for everything.”
“Thank me?” Ryan acts as if he had heard a joke, “You’ve been shot because of me.”
Being a capitalist who ys with capital, there are full of unseen dangers around him. Whoever has a
close rtionship with him will not have an easy time. No matter who they are, they have to pay full
attention as the world of capital is like a game that is yed every minute. Those numbers that are
changing have a bearing on many people’s life.
Eunice feels that his aura is not so intense anymore so she plucks up the courage to quietly look at
him. Her neatly aligned teeth knock her lips and she speaks hesitantly after quite a while, “You actually
don’t have to think too badly of yourself. Although we have known each other for only a short time, in
my view, you’re a good person.”
She has never exposed her feelings to Ryan. When she was around himst time, she instinctively felt
panicked due to his aura but now when she meets him again, she feels that she knows more about
him.
Ryan has heard countless people describe him differently. There are good and badments in which
most of them say that he is a very capable person but is a bit ruthless. This is the first time in his life
that someone describes him as a good person.
But for him, these words cover a wide range of meaning so he does not know how he should feel about
it. He can only tell her, “It’s too early for you to judge.”
“Why do you always say that you’re bad?” Eunice does not understand his behaviour, “I don’t know
what others think of you, but I only believe in what I see.”
Ryan looks into those eyes that are full of determination. In the car, her face is no more than a stone’s
throw away. Eunice has always been the one who cannot bear his gazes first but this time it is Ryan
who averts his eyes from her first.
Two of them do not utter a word. The atmosphere in the car falls into a strange silence.
Eunice is once again enveloped by the feeling of constraint that had dissipated just now. She
subconsciously touches her pocket and feels a hard edge.
She is so preupied with talking that she almost forgets she has not given him something.
She takes out the white envelope and hands it to him with both hands, “By the way, this is all my
savings, although it’s not much, just ept it. I’ll slowly return the four hundred thousand yuan to you.”
Ryan looks down at the rectangr envelope. It’s just a thickness of three fingers. Compared to the
money he has given to her, it’s just a drop in the bucket.
The first thing she thinks of when they meet again is to give back the money to him. How strong does
she really refuse to owe him that she cannot wait to cut all the rtionship with him?
This thought makes Ryan feels a little irritated. Thinking of what she said just now, he snorts lightly and
thinks that he is relegated to a friend-zoned by her.
He does not ept or reject it. Eunice holds it for nearly a minute and her small hands shake in front of
him, “Mr. Ryan?”
“I had just said, I won’t take your money.” When Ryan starts speaking again, it is obvious that his tone
is low and deep, which can be considered icy coldpared to the nd tone just now.
This is not the first time he said this. However, it ispulsory to return the money if you borrow it.
Although he does not want, whatever she should return to him, she will definitely pay back every single
cent. This is what Lorraine had taught her children since they were young.
When Eunice sees that he has no intention of epting it, she simply puts the money on the
dashboard in the middle, “I said I’ll return it to you.”
But who knows, as soon as it is put down, the envelope is grabbed by a big hand and with a soft ‘click’
sound, the window is opened. Ryan raises his arm and directly throws the envelope out of the window.
“What are you doing!?” Eunice shouts at him in surprise. Without hesitation, she immediately gets out
of the car and walks to his side by walking past the front of the car. She squats down and picks up the
envelope that has fallen on the ground.
There is some dust on it. But it does not matter since the money is still there.
Looking at Ryan, who is sitting in the car like watching a show, Eunice’s heart is smouldering in anger.
She walks back to the passenger seat, ms the car door and turns sideways to face him, “Why do
you throw away the money?”
“I don’t want it,” His thin lips slightly open. He still refuses to ept it.
Eunice clutches the envelope in her hands and she does not stop although her hands feel aches. She
stares at the person in front of her with a swelled face, “Why you don’t want, is it because it’s too little
so you don’t even bother?”
Ryan does not mean it but he is not good at exining. He feels irritated by her persistent questions
and just says, “The shot you blocked for me is already enough to pay me back.”
Eunice is too angry for words. The words are stuck in her throat and she can only blurt out after quite a
moment, “That’s not the same thing, we’re not making a deal!”
His unconcerned look hurts Eunice’s self-esteem. It makes her feels that she is like a fool to take the
money. However, when she withdraws the money via her bank card, she is so happy that she cannot
stop being delighted when she thinks that she is able to pay back a little amount. All of this, however, is
totally not bothered by him.
