Chapter 132


    Everyone huddled around Adeline, trying to approach her and get in her good books. They just


    wanted to know Isaac through her.


    Patricia looked at them. Isaac’s really popr, huh? She looked at her duffel bag and decided she


    would get to her room.


    Ryan did not care what Adeline was talking about. He extended his hand to Patricia. “I can help


    you with that. My room’s right next to yours. I’m in 1207, and you’re in 1208.”


    Selina arranged that, of course. Patricia smiled. “This isn’t really heavy. I can hold it myself.” She


    raised her children alone and did everything herself. She was used to an independent life, unlike


    certain women out there.


    Ryan was a bit disappointed, but he did not insist. He said, “Ah, I’m so sad. I just wanted to help,


    but my fairdy just won’t let me.”


    Everyone else was buttering Adeline up, so they did not see Patricia and Ryan going up to their


    rooms.


    When they came to their rooms, Ryan said, “Come right out after you settle down, Patricia. Get


    something to eat before changing into your swimsuit.” He was worried she might change into her


    swimsuit right away. He did not want the other guys to see her in her swimsuit.


    Patricia smiled. “Sure.” She went into the room and put her bag down. It was a clean, spacious,


    andfortable room. She looked out of the balcony and saw all sorts of hot spring pools on the


    mountain. They had pools all the way from the base to the top.


    She had seen the brochure back in the lobby, and there was a pool on the mountain top that


    oversaw the scenery beneath it. It was a popr Instagrammable spot. She took her phone and


    left her room. The first thing she saw was Ryan standing in front of her. He had taken his coat off


    and changed into a ck tracksuit. It was like they were in matching attire. Patricia froze for a


    moment. She did not expect him to wait for her. “I thought you’d be gone by now.”


    Ryan looked at her. “You still love to take your own sweet time like you used to.” He patted her


    head, and a loving smile curled his lips.


    Patriciabed through her hair with her fingers. “And you still haven’t grown up, Ryan.” He used


    to love patting her head just like this, and it annoyed her. She looked all messed up with unkempt


    hair.


    They suddenly smiled; it reminded them of their high school days. They then went to the restaurant

    on the second floor. Their ssmates had reserved a room for the ss, so it was rather quiet


    inside. Patricia and Ryan helped themselves to some food as it was a buffet-style lunch, and they


    came back to the table. It was fully seated, but their ssmates were no longer as warm as they


    were earlier. They were giving Patricia weird looks. Patricia looked at Adeline, who had


    disgustingly exquisite makeup on. She must have told them some stupid stories.


    Ryan’s buddy, Hanson, huddled closer. “Bro, everyone is saying Patricia’s a sugar baby to some


    old fart, and she had three of his babies. Are you sure you want her?” He was Ryan’s good friend,


    so of course he had to tell him about the news. He would not want anyone to deceive Ryan. He


    knew Patricia looked innocent, but women like her were professionals at maniption. They knew


    how to get to a man’s heart. Hanson did not want his friend to fall for her trap.


    Ryan’s face fell, and he looked at his old ssmates coldly. “Shut it. One more word and you can


    piss off.”
